Iowa Senate Death Shocks Lawmakers At Start Of Session
A Des Moines report notes Sen. B C Whitehill died on the first day of a legislative session. His death shocks colleagues who planned to name him president pro tem. A successor will be elected to serve the rest of his four year term and his widow may receive his $1,000 session compensation. An investigation into state expense accounts at the public safety department is said to have reached the governor’s office last fall. The probe highlights employee concerns over what constitutes a legitimate highway expense and the lack of tipping allowances. The state sets a $5 a day maximum for expenses, a rule some find inadequate in certain cases.
