The Iowa legislature, operating long after sunset, killed a rewrite of the state’s sunshine laws before adjourning for the year. As the session drew to a close, the Senate passed the bill, which closed many loopholes in the public records and meetings laws and sent it to the House as part of the budget bill. Well after midnight, the House removed that section and passed the budget as it adjourned. (4/30/08)
