Probe planned on fund sources for backers of Con Con in Iowa
The Iowa Campaign Finance Disclosure Commission voted to investigate funding methods of two groups backing a constitutional convention. Iowans for Tax Relief provided the bulk of Yes for Less Taxes Committee funds, with 216,530 of 225,913 coming from that Muscatine group. ISEA emerged as major benefactor to the Committee to Protect the Constitution, contributing 31,500 of its 41,271 receipts. The dispute centers on sources of funds and the risks and costs of a convention, with backers urging a tax limit and opponents warning of unlimited amendments.
