DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The biggest unknown for the annual Drake Relays has always been the weather. Conditions could be a big factor this year — especially with every athlete’s training geared toward making and then peaking at the Rio Olympics.
Drake has lined up stars like LaShawn Merritt, Kirani James, Jenny Simpson and Brittney Reese to compete in this year’s meet, which starts in earnest Thursday and runs through Saturday. But the forecast calls for rain on Saturday, which could lead to athletes deciding to pull out rather than risk an injury that would keep them out of a trip to Rio.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An attempt to keep alive a bill that would allow the sale of fireworks in Iowa has fizzled out and is considered dead this session. The Senate Ways and Means Committee agreed Wednesday to hold off any further discussion on legislation that would have allowed the retail sale and use of consumer fireworks such as firecrackers and roman candles. Current law allows sales of novelties like sparklers.
The move comes as lawmakers try to adjourn the legislative session. Sen. Bill Dotzler, a Waterloo Democrat, says there wasn’t enough committee support to advance the bill for a floor vote and the measure is dead.
The proposal is separate from another fireworks bill that failed this year. The latest bill would have added restrictions on when the fireworks could be used.
