DES MOINES â Farm interests, fuel retailers and others whipsawed a state Senate panel Thursday over a legislative proposal seeking to push more use of renewable fuels that proponents hailed as an economic boon for Iowa-based industries and critics panned as a government intrusion that would cost drivers more at the pump.
Five members of a Senate Ways and Means subcommittee heard over 75 minutes of impassioned testimony on a bill Gov.
