Signs stolen in Iowa City's debate over bar age

IOWA CITY (AP) - Supporters of Iowa City's 21-and-older bar law say more than 100 of their yards signs have been stolen.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen says members of the group 21 Makes Sense, which is backing the city's ordinance, reported the signs were taken over the weekend from around Iowa City.

The group's Nick Westergaard has called on the group opposing the 21-only law to condemn the theft.

Matt Pfaltzgraf, a University of Iowa student leading the anti-21 group, says he doesn't know who stole the signs and hopes those responsible are caught.

The law will be on the Nov. 2 ballot. Voters are being asked whether they want to repeal the ordinance, which prevents those younger than 21 from being in a bar after 10 p.m. The age limit had been 19.
