Hughes calls off meeting over tax defense dispute
DES MOINES UPI Gov Harold Hughes canceled a morning Iowa Executive Council meeting amid a dispute with Atty Gen Richard Turner over hiring outside counsel to defend the new service tax. Hughes claimed only the council can authorize hiring and payments, while Turner sought private attorneys for a Davenport case challenging the tax. Turner argued he would not defend the tax, citing a prior advisory opinion, and Hughes demanded a specific counsel and amount before acting.
