Gas tax dispute stalls Bergman road bill in Des Moines
In Des Moines on April 2 the House blocked a senate amendment and insisted on keeping the 4 cent Baseline gas tax within the Bergman secondary road bill prompting a return to the senate for more action. The impasse, worsened by Senate ruling that gas tax provisions cannot be reconsidered, risks killing the measure this session and forces potential conference action between chambers. Members voting and absent lists are given, with debate centering on whether to recede from the house position amid pressure from Poweshiek and Linn counties.
