Iowa Legislature Ends Session With Mixed Reforms And Debates
The Iowa General Assembly wrapped up a turbulent 90 day session returning to normal operations. Major actions included tax and capital expenditure debates, a beer law revision, and school funding plans, with gains in teacher contracts and rural salaries overshadowed by failures on four year terms and constitutional changes. New board members were appointed, and a land deed to return tribal lands was enacted to protect Indian mounds in northeastern Iowa. Gifts and tokens of goodwill were exchanged among lawmakers and officers.
