Fair Housing Deal Sparks Controversy In Iowa Budget Battle
A joint appropriations subcommittee recommended 61 000 dollars a year to run the Iowa civil rights commission curbing the new fair housing law. Critics call the sum inadequate, arguing it would effectively nullify enforcement while governor Hughes had sought 74 640 dollars and officials say 30 975 more is needed. The vote split among lawmakers with multiple absences noted.
