Supreme Court says you’re allowed private meetings with your lawyer

September 30, 2011 By

The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled on a person’s right to a private meeting with an attorney in a drunk driving case in Ankeny. Carson Walker was stopped by an Ankeny police officer in December of 2009 and taken to the police station after failing several field sobriety tests.

Walker’s lawyer came to the police station and was allowed to talk to him via a telephone through a glass window that seperated them in two booths. There was also a servielance camera in the lawyer’s booth. The lawyer wanted to conduct his own tests on Walker before advising him on whether to take a breath test.

He requested a room where they could meet face-to-face, but police denied this request several times, citing safety concerns. Walker took the breath test and it showed he had a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit. The Iowa Supreme Court ruled the breath test should be thrown out as there was no reason to fear for the safety of Walker’s attorney and they should have been given a private, barrier-free meeting room.

The court also said the attorney should be able to block any audio or video recording during a consultation with a client unless there is a justified security risk shown.

Iowa GOP chair wants group of Florida officials barred from Tampa convention

September 30, 2011 By

The chairman of the Iowa Republican Party is asking officials at the national level to enforce new sanctions on a group of Florida Republicans.

Florida officials today announced their state will hold a presidential primary on January 31, a move which means Iowa’s Caucuses will have to be rescheduled to sometime in early January. Iowa GOP chairman Matt Strawn wants the Republican National Committee to bar the Florida Republicans who made that decision from attending the national convention this summer.  

“Any of those Republican elected officials who voted to blatantly disregard the RNC rules should not be given credentials or passes or be delegates at the convention in Tampa next August,” Strawn said during an interview with Radio Iowa. “They have shown incredible disregard for the RNC, so I do not think they should be rewarded with being able to participate in the national convention, even though it is in their backyard in Tampa.”

Republican National Committee rules allow just the states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina to hold presidential elections before March 6 and states which skirt the rules, like Florida has done, are to be stripped of half their delegates to the party’s national convention. Strawn won’t speculate on the new date for the 2012 Iowa Caucuses, but he has talked today with officials from New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina about the shifts that will be made.

“We’re going to work in concert to make sure we protect our spot in the order,” Strawn said, “but also to make sure we’re doing it at a time that doesn’t inconvenience Iowans any more than we have to.”

The date for the Iowa Caucuses will be set once New Hampshire’s secretary of state announces the re-scheduled date for the nation’s first primary.

(The headline of this story was changed at 4:02 p.m. to make clear Strawn is speaking of barring only the Florida Republicans who made the decision, not all Florida Republicans.)

Food prices expected to hold steady

September 30, 2011 By

Iowa farmers may be feeding the world but it’s still costly to feed ourselves. A new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts Iowans shouldn’t expect their grocery bill to drop next year but grocery costs also shouldn’t climb, at least not much.

U.S.D.A. economist Ricky Volpe sayd, “It’s bad news in that prices are not going to be decreasing, but it’s good news in that consumers should not expect prices to increase with the same spike, with the same sharpness, that we saw in 2011. In 2012, we’re looking for food price inflation to continue, but we are projecting the overall rate of food price inflation to slow down in 2012 and to approach more historically normal rates.”

Volpe says items in the meat case will still be the most expensive. “Particularly beef and pork because they’ve seen extraordinary price inflation in 2011,” he says. “In fact, they’ve pretty much led the charge among food categories and we’re projecting beef and pork prices to remain at or near historic highs.”

As for the remainder of this year, Volpe says food staples like bread, noodles and cereal will take a bigger bite out of Iowans’ food budget. He says, “We’ve revised our forecast for cereals and bakery products, which includes bread, upwards to four-and-a-half percent over 2010 levels.”

The normal rate of inflation on food costs is between three- and four-percent.

Four-year-old credited with saving mom’s life

September 30, 2011 By

Police are crediting a four-year-old boy in central Iowa with saving his mother’s life Thursday.

Radio Iowa’s Dar Danielson reports: Danielson :64  

It started when the child called 9-1-1 to report the problem. A Polk County dispatcher answered the call and the boy said “My mommy doesn’t feel good.”  Things got a little interesting as the dispatcher tried to find out more information.

Iowa’s congressmen applaud strike that killed two al Qaida operatives

September 30, 2011 By

Iowa’s congressional delegation is praising the U.S. military operation which killed two al Qaida operatives in Yemen. 

Congressman Bruce Braley says the two “got what they deserved.”  Congressman Tom Latham, a Republican from Ames, says this is a major development in the war on terror.

“Al-Awiaki was a conspirator in charge of propaganda. He was in charge of recruiting terrorists to strike America,” Latham says. “Attempts in New York City, certainly down in Fort Hood — all those people were inspired by him.”

The military strike early this morning killed an American citizen who was editing an on-line magazine for terrorists as well as the 40-year-old American cleric who authorities say sent at least 20 emails to the man who killed 13 people during a shooting at Fort Hood. 

“Certainly this is not the end of al Qaida,” Latham says. “But it is a very important step in eliminating this threat to the United States and to the rest of the world.” 

Two other Iowa congressmen released written statements today. Congressman Leonard Boswell, a Democrat from Des Moines, said the incident shows “the battle against terrorism never ends and knows no borders.”  Boswell praised the men and women of the military and the U.S. intelligence community for their “never-ending persistence” in pursuing these terrorists. 

Congressman Dave Loebsack, a Democrat from Iowa City, also “applauded” the U.S. military and intelligence agenices. “The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki is a significant blow to al Qaeda in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula, as he will no longer be able to target American citizens and our security interests around the globe,” said Loebsack. 

Congressman Steve King, a Republican from Kiron, is traveling and unavailable for comment.

Congressman Braley, a Democrat from Waterloo, spoke about the incident this morning during taping of IPTV’s “Iowa Press” program.

Branstad’s inviting China’s vice president to Iowa

September 30, 2011 By

Governor Branstad says one of the business contacts he made during his trade mission to the far east could yield results soon. Branstad visited Japan, China and South Korea, and he expects one of the companies he visited in South Korea to make a decision about an expansion into Iowa within “the next few months.”

“Another one is already basically partnering with the pork processing plant up in northwest Iowa to import pork from Iowa,” Branstad says. “Of course, the free trade agreement could dramatically improve pork exports to Korea and we’re very hopeful that will happen here in the not too distant future at the federal level.”

Branstad returned from his 11-day trip yesterday. The governor says the highlight was his nearly hour-long meeting with the vice president of China who visited Iowa in 1985 as part of a sister-state exchange.

“What I found just truly amazing was it really made quite an impression on him. He still had the itinerary from his visit here,” Branstad says. “…He mentioned the family from the Muscatine area that he stayed with…He was really pleased with the friendship and, also, just the hospitality and the way he was treated in Iowa.”

China’s vice president is in line to be the next president of China. Branstad is inviting him to pay a return visit to Iowa within the next year. Branstad not only spoke with government officials and business executives while he was overseas, he attended the Midwest U.S./Japan Association’s annual meeting.

“You come to a realization after you’ve been there that we are truly in a world economy and we have a lot of jobs in Iowa that are dependent on not only our agricultural exports, but we’re also appreciative of the manufacturing jobs in Iowa because of  investments made from places like Korea and China and especially Japan,” Branstad says.

The governor says a major news story he saw in Japan this past week involved an Iowa company. A major airline in Japan was the first to purchase the new 787 aircraft. Components of the plane are made in Iowa by Rockwell Collins.
