Apparently the GOP-controlled Iowa Legislature didn’t get the memo.
Members of the majority party now embrace big, meddling government. They excel at stripping decision-making authority from cities, counties and even private practitioners and businesses. Their obsession with micromanaging others is particularly egregious this legislative session.
Among what they are trying to do:
Ban traffic cameras
Local traffic ordinances are enforced by local law enforcement. Yet Sen. Brad Zaun, R-Urbandale, wants to strip from police an enforcement option. He has sponsored, again, a bill prohibiting the use of most traffic cameras and ordering the removal of most existing ones. Senate Study Bill 1176 is opposed by police chiefs who told lawmakers the cameras reduce speeding and accidents. Cameras also generate revenue for law enforcement, meaning Zaun’s bill would literally defund cops.
(Clean Fuels Development Coalition) The Clean Fuels Development Coalition (CFDC) today applauded the work of the State of Nebraska following the release of a report that found higher ethanol blends are safe, efficient, and cost effective when used in conventional vehicles.
The yearlong demonstration involved 50 non-flex fuel vehicles (non-FFVs) from the State of Nebraska’s fleet “to determine adaptability, economic feasibility, and environmental impact of using E30”. According to Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts, the final report on the test indicates positive results on all counts.
“These results validate what we have known for some time now, which is that today’s automobiles can perform quite well on higher ethanol blends, at a lower cost per mile and with significant environmental improvements”, said CFDC Member Jim Seurer of Glacial Lakes Energy in Watertown, South Dakota.
