State Treasurer reports on 33.7 million in Iowa bank deposits
Capitol News notes that three economists from Drake and Iowa State will study whether renewing certificates of deposit for 33.7 million held by the state in 103 Iowa banks benefits Iowa's economy. The program, begun in 1965, aimed to keep money in state banks as government securities yield higher elsewhere. The potential loss from interest differences could reach about 300,000. Citizens visited the Wood home in Charles City and nearby towns are also mentioned in this brief local update.
