Shaft plan sparks debate on reapportionment and rural vs urban impact
Monday night discussions in Wadena Algona and Newton featured Richard Clark claiming the Shaft plan is a hoax and would largely preserve current legislative power for private interest groups. George Wilson and Duane Dewes argued opponents are labor bosses and that the plan would keep Iowa rural with outmigration, while proponents like Rep. David Stanley urged progress and journalists like Frank Nye warned about county mergers altering votes under the plan.
