Iowa Democrats push to abolish death penalty and expand patrol
Iowa Democrats introduced a sweeping legislative package from Gov. Hughes’s program. Proposals include replacing capital punishment with life imprisonment, expanding the Highway Patrol by 100 officers, and appointing the agriculture secretary. Other measures raise pensions tied to salaries, tax relief for elderly homeowners, and legalize bingo for qualified groups. A payroll plan seeks higher unemployment benefits, with a new formula replacing the current $44 weekly maximum.
