Des Moines, Iowa — There was a two-fer at the Capitol to celebrate Tuesday’s palindrome date.
Representative Dustin Hite of New Sharon presented this closing argument on a piece of legislation.
The bill about procedures in criminal courts was not controversial and passed unanimously — but not before Representative John Wills of Spirit Lake put in his two cents worth.
That’s Representative Rick Olson of Des Moines. His two bits were that it was a simple bill and Hite had described it accurately. Tuesday’s date was a palindrome worldwide, for counties that list the month first and for those that put the date first in the numeric sequence. The last universal palindrome date was more than a decade ago, on the 11th of November — or 11-11-11.
