Iowa House votes to remove lottery ban by constitutional amendment
The Iowa House approved a constitutional amendment 71 to 44 to lift the 112 year prohibition on lotteries in the state. The measure allows future legislatures to regulate lotteries by statute, with opposition from Reps. Grassley and Radl who warned of crime and vice, while supporters argued it would modernize Iowa and keep bingo regulation in state hands.

Seek New Control Over Schools Vocational board proposed in Iowa
Iowa Senate hearings follow renewed drive to shift area schools from the Board of Public Instruction to a nine member vocationally oriented board. Five members would hold vocational expertise, governors appoint all nine for six year terms. Critics say academics have dominated area schools, sidelining vocational aims. Senator Eugene Hill of Newton supports the change, arguing the legislature has overburdened the public instruction board. The bill, reworked after last year, awaits debate in the Higher Education Committee with a Thursday hearing.
