Licenses Worth More From Des Moines
State Safety Commissioner Carl Pesch recommends hiring 100 more Iowa Highway Patrol troopers, boosting patrol strength from 800. He also proposes raising driving license fees to four dollars every two years and chauffeurer licenses from four to five dollars to cover costs. The idea faces skepticism as officials note safety gains and rising interstate traffic, while studies show drivers and pedestrians fault in most fatal accidents. The piece questions whether driver license renewals should include mailed expiration notices.
