Des Moines booze cost could fund city needs
A Cedar Rapids Gazette column argues Des Moines spends about 1.75 million dollars yearly on alcohol. It claims that money could finance debt payoff, five city halls, a $25,000 church in each precinct, 40 miles of streets, and a new state capitol, suggesting large license costs should bear more city expenses. It notes similar sums in other cities, including Cedar Rapids, and questions the reaction of spenders to higher costs.
