Lawmakers adjourn after squabbles in Iowa legislature
Iowa lawmakers closed the session amid budget worries and party sparring. The House adjourned at 3 40 p.m. Friday with the Senate following after prearranged rules. Controversy centered on a request for a constitutional balanced budget amendment and the timing of a motion to reconsider. The Senate rejected confirming Dr Larry Lindemann to the Board of Chiropractic Examiners and postponed a renomination. The session also approved a large income tax cut with indexing, though fears of low revenue persisted as officials warned the treasury could dip toward a decade-low balance.
