Iowa Lags in Tourism Ads Budget in 1966
Iowa spent just 10 000 on tourism advertising in 1966, far below Florida and New York, as the Iowa Development Commission pushes for funds to expand the program. The department asked for 159 500 annually for the next biennium, but the governor recommends 90 000, with related appropriations likely trimmed. Nebraska Ohio and California reportedly spend nothing.
