Funding for a Sioux City facility where law officers are trained to thwart meth traffickers is closer to getting a one-million dollar boost. Iowa Congressman Tom Latham says the House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday approved the money for the Methamphetamine Training Center. Last year, more than 800 meth labs were broken up in Iowa. Just two years before, the number was only in the dozens. The facility has already been used to help train more than eight-thousand law officers from the four-state region.
