Iowa Officials Face Mixed Mile Rate Rules In 1939 Law
Backstage in Iowa politics the 1939 legislature failed to repeal the five cent mileage rate for state employees, instead enacting a four cent maximum. County workers keep five cents, sheriffs seven and a half, while the state argues the four cent cap applies to state employees. Potential annual savings cited range from 200 dollars per 20,000 miles per worker to ten thousand dollars if fifty employees travel that distance. The piece also recalls figures and memories from public officials and a future Iowa Supreme Court justice with personal anecdotes.
