State lawmakers drop several issues

Iowa lawmakers used what's called a funnel this week, to drop some bills and narrow their workload. Among those they let go....a bill legalizing online poker. That's a dead issue now. And preschool programs will remain free for all 4-year-olds instead of switching to a voucher system. Also, the state won't set limits on fines from the automated cameras that nab speeders and red-light runners. The Republican push to define marriage as solely between a man and a woman also died.
