Rule Soon on Little League Insurance Case in Iowa
Iowa official William Timmons will issue an order to stop American Casualty Insurance Co. from pressuring Little League teams to purchase insurance. Three Iowa leagues lost franchises after failing to buy coverage. Dr. Creighton Hale says policy requires all leagues to insure with one firm, but Little League denies control over pricing. Revenue outlook shows a $2.5 million increase in state revenue for the year ending June 30, totaling $180.3 million versus $177.8 million last year.

A dispute arises over the new liquor by the drink bill. It sets license costs at 1000 for establishments outside incorporated areas, while Rep. William Scherle of Henderson argues the intent was not to penalize small platted villages where a 500 fee would apply. The bill’s authors defend the statewide license framework amid concerns from small town operators.
