Iowa lawmakers seek art resale royalties and public access reforms
State Senator Kevin Kelly asks for a bill granting artists 5 percent of resale prices above 1000 dollars, modeled after California law, while other proposals cover safety glazing, open meetings, public employee bargaining, physician recruitment subsidies, local option gas taxes, liquor tax for rehab, ethics code, pari mutuel betting, storm sewer grates, and transferring code editor duties to the Legislature. A Saudi trade mission to North Africa and Saudi Arabia is planned for late March, aided by the U S Department of Commerce, with about 12 Iowans traveling. Protests by NOW outside a Des Moines liquor store spurred a celebratory Black Velvet sale inside, and Sen Cloyd Robinson warns against expanding 65-foot truck limits amid a tense DOT commission vote.

Iowa Secretaries Could See 5 Percent Pay Rise
A Senate compensation committee recommends a 5 percent salary increase for legislators' secretaries, boosting bi weekly pay from 264 to 392 dollars. Pay is tied to years of service and skill. The group also urges shorthand typing tests for chair secretaries. A joint resolution would route these changes through both houses if approved.
