I am writing to express my concerns about Iowa House File 852, the act relating to a "real-time electronic repository" to monitor and control over-the-counter products containing any detectable amount of pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, etc. This new act is very expensive ($230,000 to $288,000) to be payed out of the State General Fund, plus an ongoing cost of $30,000 to $86,000. Does the State of Iowa need to spend this much more money when the current laws have proven to be effective?

Yeltsin, will be playing next week.
Mason
Proper's debut album, There Is
a Moth in Your Chest, is
utterly scattershot. It's a 12-course meal for which there appears
to have been little thought put into the progression or the entirety.
