Iowa governor car payments and price limits debated

The article notes debate over state car purchases with a $2,000 cap per passenger car. It recalls the 1955 plan to buy a $1,992.98 Oldsmobile for Gov Leo Hoegh, with a one year buyback option. In 1966 a 1956 model replaced it for $900, no resale clause, now used by Gov Loveless. Hassett says the limit hampers purchases and suggests raising the ceiling to $3,000.
