GOP platform outlines tax restraint and education support
The 1972 Iowa GOP platform favors tax reform without rising overall levies, promotes efficiency, and urges limited tax increases only to address specific problems. It calls for increased funding for the state civil rights commission, parks, community colleges, and the three state universities, plus rapid development of the Great River Road. It also endorses voluntary reorganization of school districts to cut costs, expands welfare aid for families with unemployed earners, and adjusts the child support rule to allow 18 as the majority age. Funeral details note Leonard W. Pickard's Thursday services at Pleasant Plain Friends Church with burial in Friends Cemetery and Sherman-Eden Funeral Home handling arrangements.
