DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republicans argue a bill to revamp how workers are compensated for on-the-job injuries will fix a system that unfairly burdens businesses, but others question whether the current policy needs big changes.

The state House and Senate are considering identical bills intended to lower business costs by reducing coverage for some workers’ injuries, minimizing late fees for employers and allowing pre-existing conditions to decrease benefits.

Muscatine Republican Rep. Gary Carlson says the bill reflects complaints from some companies of increased workers’ compensation premiums. However, the nonpartisan National Council on Compensation Insurance found that premium costs for Iowa businesses dropped in 2017 by an average of 4.7 percent. The group says when analyzing premiums, loss ratios and lost-time claims, the overall system is fair for employers.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A former Iowa investment adviser has been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for felony theft and must repay more than $330,000 he took from seven people, mostly friends and family acquaintances, who trusted him after he professed to be a main of faith.

David William Johnson convinced clients he had access to a safe high-yielding foreign bank investment that state prosecutors say was a Ponzi scheme. Instead of investing their money, prosecutors say he used it to support his wife and 10 children.

Johnson, who is 57 and living in Texas, was ordered by District Court Judge Kurt Stoebe to repay all the money. Johnson was sentenced Wednesday in Fort Dodge after entering a plea agreement.
