In this Jan. 2, 2007 file photo Iowa State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald takes the oath of office as his fiance Susan Lowery, right, holds his Bible during a swearing-in ceremony for statewide elected officials in Des Moines, Iowa. Iowa politicians are scrambling to comply with a new and unusual state law that bans them from using taxpayer dollars if there's a whiff of self-promotion. The Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board plans to release at least one advisory opinion next month on the law, which goes into effect Sunday, July 1, 2018. The provision prohibits statewide officials and lawmakers from tapping taxpayer dollars to promote their written name, likeness or voice through various platforms like television and radio.
