Dirksen Amendment debated amid Iowa legislative actions
A Iowa legislator reports on action this week as the Dirkson Amendment's push for a constitutional convention and state apportionment autonomy dominates. He notes Senator Strathman and Rep. Corey supported the resolution, while he opposed it, citing respect for the Constitution. The Senate approved funding for Board of Regents operations at about ninety two million dollars with a contested anti-riot amendment. A truck licensing bill and road tax changes were discussed, with notable increases for pickup and larger trucks and shifts in road fund allocations. The House also backed the Dirksen plan and reaffirmed Supreme Court influences on apportionment, while the author expresses concern over recent court decisions.
