Iowa Legislature Faces Deadlock Over Appropriations Bill
Des Moines April 13 The House rejected a second conference committee report on the appropriations bill by four votes and the Senate had earlier approved it four to one. The deadlock centers on a $269 000 appropriation for Cedar Falls and a $250 000 heat plant for Cedar Falls, with both chambers unable to agree on budget details. A tax commission bill was advanced, and lawmakers held a night session to pass minor measures while awaiting a budget conference. The session included reports on taxation reforms and proposed non legislative commissions.
