Nicholas Attacks Erbe Over Tourism Booklet Plan
Des Moines. William Nicholas accused Gov. Norman Erbe of backing down too easily on funding a Iowa tourism booklet drawing opposition from Sen. Andrew Frommelt who said the brochure could be a political gimmick. Nicholas, a Republican primary rival, proposed private funding and suggested including a photo of Erbe only if non dated. The plan, estimated at 43 000 dollars for 50 000 copies, faced criticism as Erbe hoped private support would finance the project. Erbe spoke at a breakfast news conference and hinted at future talks on property tax relief.
