Impact of flood property tax abatement not known

September 4, 2009 By

The impact is still not known for the property tax forgiveness the Linn County Supervisors approved this week for flood victims. The supervisors voted to forgive the property taxes for thousands of flood victims who were not able to use the flooded property. The loss of tax revenue hits schools at a time when their budgets are already tight.

The Cedar Rapids School District says it supports the tax abatement, but district director of business Steve Graham says they aren’t sure how it will affect their bottom line. Graham says, “We don’t know what the impact is going to be financially at this point in time and we’re very hopeful that in mid-October we’re going to know with some specificity what that’s going to be.”

Part of the problem is that flood victims must apply for tax abatement, and it’s unknown how many will apply. Taxes will only be forgiven for however long the property wasn’t used. The decision will likely means millions of dollars in lost revenue for the city of Cedar Rapids as well.

City councilman Chuck Wieneke says the recently approved local option sales tax could help recoup some of the cost but not all of it.

“This disaster affected this entire city and this is an example of how this entire city is going to be paying for a portion of the recovery of this city and I think that’s forgotten sometime by folks that were not directly affected by the flood,” Wieneke says.

Representatives from Cedar Rapids, the county, and school district say they will ask the state legislature to compensate them for the revenue lost to the floods.

State Patrol expects busy travel holiday

September 4, 2009 By

Despite the economy and the fact the school year is underway, the Iowa State Patrol is still expecting plenty of traffic this holiday weekend. Trooper Scott Miller, who works at the Council Bluffs post, says the highways and interstates will be busy.

“Even if people stay close to home and camp at a local campground, they’re still going to get on the road,” Miller said. “Even if it’s a shorter trip than normal, there will still be quite a few people out there.” Miller is encouraging Iowans who are making a trip this weekend to allow plenty of time to get to their destination.

“The other biggie is…don’t be a distracted driver. Don’t use your cell phone while you’re driving and definitely don’t text while you’re driving,” Miller said. “If you can, pull over to the side of the road or wait until you get to your destination.” In addition, motorists are advised to expect road construction delays.

“Everyone knows there is quite a bit of road construction still going on and that could cause some delays, especially with the heavy traffic volume we’re expecting,” Miller said. The Iowa State Patrol has added extra troopers to monitor roads through Monday. During the Labor Day enforcement effort in 2008, the Iowa State Patrol arrested 47 motorists for O.W.I. and issued over 2,000 citations for speeding.

Man arrested in Oklahoma for western Iowa murder

September 4, 2009 By

TrujilloAuthorities in Oklahoma have arrested a man wanted for a February murder in western Iowa. Twenty-year-old Luis Trujillo-Mendez will be charged with first-degree murder for the death of 27-year-old Lorenzo Nambo Garcia of Denison.

Garcia’s body was found in a ditch near Dow City in late February. Crawford County Sheriff James Steinkueler says Garcia disappeared on January 5th.

“On this date, a witness reports seeing…an acquaintance of the victim driving by the residence on two occasions,” Steinkueler says. “…The witness left the area on personal business and never saw the victim again.” [Read more...]

Train takes some Hawkeye fans to the stadium

September 4, 2009 By

Some Hawkeye fans hoping to avoid traffic congestion in Iowa City are hopping the train to get to the game. Iowa Northern Railway rents its so-called “Hawkeye Express” to the University of Iowa athletic department for use on Saturdays during the football season.

The six-car, double-decker train can haul up to 6,000 fans to each game. Riders board the train in Coralville, near Highway 6 and the Coral Ridge Mall, and they are delivered to the base of Kinnick Stadium. [Read more...]

Second “Meals from the Heartland” effort underway

September 4, 2009 By

meals1While many Iowans are planning a barbecue for the last summer holiday, others are putting together millions of meals to feed the hungry.

Bruce Nelson is one of the organizers of the Meals from the Heartland effort that’s underway at Hy-Vee Hall in downtown Des Moines.

He says they have funding to package 3.6 million meals, and need about 45-thousand more dollars to reach their goal of four million meals.

The meals are sent to starving people in South Africa, Haiti, and Jamaica. The volunteers are putting all the ingredients for the meals into bags that can then be cooked. Nelson says the meals have a rice base, a vitamin caplet, a hydrated vegetable mix and a protein mix that are all put into the package and will feed six people. He says with the volunteer help to put them together, they can help feed thousands at a very low cost.

meals2Each bag costs $1.50 and that breaks down to 25 cents per meal for the six people. This is the second Meals from the Heartland effort and Nelson says the response has been even better than the first time around.

Nelson says they have been overwhelmed with volunteers from across Iowa coming to the event. Last year they had 12,000 volunteers and this year they have over 14,000 volunteers helping to package the food.

Nelson says they could still use donations to get them to four million meals. He says you can donate to the effort by going to Meals from the Heartland website, and a donation of $25 will help feed 100 people. Nelson says they can also use more volunteers to help with the packaging which runs from 9 A.M. until 8 p.m. through Monday. Nelson says volunteers can go to Hy-Vee Hall and come in through the Vets Auditorium entrance

Iowa Farm Bureau president heading to Washington

September 4, 2009 By

president_craig_langThe President of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation is heading to Washington today to meet with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

Craig Lang says with so many farmers struggling to make ends meet, he wants to talk to the former Iowa governor about how to bring back profitability to the ag industry. He says it’s been especially tough for livestock farmers.

“Especially the pork and dairy industry and you’d have to throw the cattle industry in now too, because the amount of loss per animal going on and it continues to happen and the price hasn’t adjusted in the way we think the price should adjust to bring some profitability back to those livestock sectors,” Lang said.

He plans to press Vilsack about finding more places for producers to sell their beef, pork and milk. “The need to move ahead on bilateral trade agreements because we think those are so important. Colombia, Peru, let’s strengthen South Korea, let’s get the China market open back up,” Lang said.

Lang also plans to discuss what he calls the “heavy regulatory burden” handed farmers by the federal government. Adding to the concerns of Iowa farmers this year, Lang says, is the severe hail storm that ruined crops in large portions of the state.
