Hahn seeks a hearing under the soldiers preference law. The dispute centers on a heavy road scraper purchase and Hahn’s dismissal of Hartman, with the machine unused and a fight over authority and pay.

Iowa license plates spark budget clash and plan talk
The legislative budget and financial control committee discussed auto license plates for Iowa motorists with potential action likely. They considered replacing the current system with permanent plates or windshield stickers and sought economizing on the program while pending further steps from the legislature. The Oakdale hospital issue loomed as lawmakers debated unallocated funds in the state board of education, which an official said could be redirected to finish Oakdale construction.
