| Face meet palm. Too dangerous? Iowa Senate bans box-stacking tradition for pages - Quote :
- Republicans who took control of the Senate in the 2017 session have ordered Senate pages not to engage in the practice of stacking boxes anymore as a safety precaution. High school students who serve as pages began folding cardboard into boxes on Monday so that Senate members can haul their paperwork home. But they told The Des Moines Register they had been instructed not to pile the boxes into large, tall columns as pages before them have historically done for many years in the past.
- Quote :
- Senate Republicans have promoted legislation this session that has promoted gun rights and use of fireworks as "freedom" issues.
Note that their legislation makes fireworks legal in the state for the first time in many years, and allows operation of a handgun by children of any age. But the big safety issue is empty cardboard boxes. |
