Council Bluffs trailer ban faces court action after compromise rejected
The City Council refused a compromise from the Council Bluffs Mobile Homes Assn on trailer regulation, prompting trailer residents to threaten court action to test the ordinance. Attorney Richard Strageman urged repeal or a nonconforming clause to allow current private-lot trailers to stay, but the mayor urged keeping the law. Stageman pledged to seek an injunction until the Supreme Court ruling. Gov Elthon favors sales tax boost if needed for state revenue, prefers broad-based levy. He opposes extending the tax to services, citing cost of enforcement and impact on taxpayers. Governor-elect Hoegh backs income tax as the more equitable option and calls for efficiency before any tax increases.
