Iowa Law Seeks Corn Shaped License Plates
Rep. Joe Flynn of Decorah predicts approval in the next session for a bill requiring the motor vehicle department and the center board to design license plates resembling an ear of corn. The proposal, passed 83 to 3 in the house, would need senate approval and another bill to legalize the plates. Flynn argues the corn motif would advertise Iowa as the corn state wherever cars travel.
