Liquor Control Bill Advances in Iowa Legislature
Des Moines reports the House moves the liquor control bill halfway through passage while the Senate awaits action. The bill creates state control of hard liquors, a three member commission, a half million dollar revolving fund, and permit fees. It reallocates funds to counties and schools based on teacher units and sets tax structures for incomes and clubs. The governor’s special session shows no restraint as committees face weeks of negotiating.
