DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — As Iowa lawmakers look to wrap up the 2018 session, the two major hurdles left are passing a budget and tax cuts. Republican leaders in control of the House and Senate are spending Thursday trying to get on the same page, with no other activity in either chamber. In plans released last week, GOP tax writing committees disagreed on how deep to cut taxes, a move that has been a priority for Republicans. They also don’t agree on whether to stop allowing Iowans to deduct their federal income taxes or whether to tackle corporate tax cuts this session.

House Speaker Linda Upmeyer says a deal is expected soon. Senate President Charles Schneider says once there is an agreement on taxes, the budget should “fall into place in short order.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Court filings show that all the Younkers and Herberger’s stores in Nebraska and Iowa will be closed as part of their corporate owner’s sale to liquidators. On Wednesday a judge approved the sale of Bon-Ton Stores Inc. to a joint venture of two liquidation firms and a group of company bondholders. Court records show the liquidation sales must be completed by Aug. 31.

Bon-Ton was operating 260 stores in 24 states, largely in the Northeast and Midwest, when it filed for bankruptcy in January. Analysts say that the 160-year-old company, like several other brick-and-mortar retailers in recent years, couldn’t survive the shift toward e-commerce.
