Major setback as Iowa House blocks transportation department
The Republican led Iowa House defeated a bill to create a Department of Transportation by a 50 to 46 vote, instead establishing a transportation planning commission to draft a comprehensive policy by July 1, 1975. The plan would include state agency representatives and two governor appointees, with funding costs reviewed by appropriations. The piece also notes rising tobacco taxes on little cigars, gambling bills, lobbyist reporting requirements, and a federal court ruling on voter registration law in Reynolds v. state.
