Defiance Grows Over Federal Highway Safety Demands
In Des Moines Iowa lawmakers rally against four federal bills tied to the highway safety act of 1966 and the threat to withhold about $11 million in funds. Representatives Horn and Small denounce the mandate as blackmail and oppose helmet, inspection, license test, and license reclassification provisions. The house has blocked two bills while the senate boosted a helmet rule with a headlight mandate later rejected by the house.
