Legislature Seeks To Amend Municipal Court Law
Senate and house bills, authored by Senator J J Rainbow and Representative B Santos, seek to amend the municipal court statute linked to Waterloo. The change would create a vacancy and allow gubernatorial appointment if a court was established by citizen vote over 680 days before a general election, addressing a Supreme Court ruling. Willis N Birdsall’s appointment as judge sparked questions of vacancy authority, with a stay of execution keeping him on the bench pending resolution. The measure aims to enable creation of a municipal court and appoint a judge without two elections, with proponents active in Des Moines.
