DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Republicans will take charge of the next session of the Iowa Legislature on Monday with ambitious plans to restrict abortion, decrease collective bargaining power for unions and cut taxes despite looming budget constraints.

Following an election that gave them strong majorities in the state Senate and House, Republican leaders say voters are expecting them to make changes. They add that their proposals would help spur economic growth, but they’ve released few specifics on their plans.

Democrats don’t hold a majority in either chamber for the first time in nearly 20 years, so they can do little to stop GOP lawmakers. And action could come quickly as outgoing Gov. Terry Branstad has said he plans to sign legislation into law before he resigns to become the next U.S. ambassador to China.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Organizers say a new website is helping people determine which areas of need they can meet with their charity dollars in the Omaha metropolitan area. It’s called The Landscape and can be found online at www.thelandscapeomaha.org .

The Omaha World-Herald reports that it provides a data-driven look at community life in six categories: health, neighborhoods, safety, transportation, workforce and education. The website breaks down the topics to create snapshots and compares local data with national numbers.

Sara Boyd is president of the Omaha Community Foundation and she says the website puts donors, advocates, nonprofit groups and policymakers “in a position of power” to better identify problems. The website includes information from neighboring Council Bluffs, across the Missouri River in Iowa.
