Gronstal says Democrats drafting their own water quality plan

News

March 30th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The top Democrat in the Iowa legislature is not optimistic lawmakers can pass a bipartisan plan to spend more state money on water quality initiatives. Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal says he and his fellow Democrats want to spend “more” on water quality, but haven’t seen a workable proposal from Republicans.

“Several of the plans we’ve seen are little more than shell games, moving money around,” Gronstal says, “taking money away from somebody for the same of somebody else.” In January, Republican Governor Terry Branstad proposed shifting some state tax dollars from school infrastructure projects to water quality programs. Last week House Republicans outlined a different approach, using some state gambling taxes along with 28 million dollars in state sales taxes paid on water usage. Gronstal told reporters Democrats are hammering out the final details on their own plan to dedicate “more” state money to water quality projects, although he’s not saying how much more.

“We’re looking at some ideas that would at least, maybe, help us get started on this,” Gronstal says. Gronstal says key legislators are “working through” a host of budget decisions right now and hope to agree on a state spending plan for the next budgeting year “relatively quickly.”

Legislation to expand home-baking businesses in Iowa

News

March 30th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa legislature is poised to give Iowans running a baking business out of their home a chance to boost their income. Under current Iowa law, “home food establishments” can only gross 20-thousand dollars a year. That’s not profit, but represents total sales of the home-made goods BEFORE any expenses are deducted. A bill that’s likely to gain final approval in the Iowa Senate soon would raise that limit to 35-thousand dollars a year.

Tod Bowman of Maquoketa drew laughter and groans as he asked his fellow senators to support the bill. “In this case, you can have your cake and eat it, too,” Bowman said. Representative Linda Miller, a Republican from Davenport, spoke just before the House passed the bill unanimously this week. “This is truly a bipartisan effort,” Miller said, “…because we all like pie.” There are 319 licensed “home food establishments” in Iowa today. Lana Shope, of Indianola, has one of them. In 2009, she won the American Pie Council’s top prize with her Harvest Apple Pie recipe.

“So you could say I was the best apple pie baker in America in 2009,” Shope says, with a laugh. “But I’ve won lots and lots of ribbons at the Iowa State Fair. I love to make pie.” Shope and a business partner got a state license to operate last year and their pie “coop” now has 35 customers. Another 30 people are on a waiting list and they might be able to get one of Shope’s monthly pies if this bill becomes law. Shope says it’s mostly women who are trying to make money selling baked goods out of their homes.

“It’s another way to support and promote small, independent businesses where people are really following a passion, doing things they love to do and pleasing people who want a more unique, fresh product as opposed to a mass production item,” Shope says, “which is kind of the trend in the world of food these days.”

Funeral is today for Des Moines police officer

News

March 30th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The first of two Des Moines police officers killed in an accident Saturday will be laid to rest today (Wednesday). Officer Susan Farrell and partner Carlos Puente-Morales died when a car traveling the wrong way on Interstate 80 hit their police S-U-V head on. Farrell’s funeral is this morning at 11 o’clock. Des Moines Police Department spokesperson, Sergeant Paul Parizek says they’ve gotten responses from officers in other states who will attend the funeral.

“We’ve had phone calls from as far away as Georgia, people inquiring about the services. There’s a teletype we sent out to every agency in the nation and we’ve had a lot of response — particularly from the midwest,” Parizek says. He says the funeral procession will stretch between eight and 10 miles. Parizek says things will be congested as they leave West Des Moines and head down the Interstate to the cemetery.

He says they are expecting well over one-thousand emergency vehicles in the funeral procession. The Des Moines Department will stretch ladder trucks over the roadway to hold a large American flag. Officer Puente-Morales’ funeral is set for Friday. Two others also died in the accident, Tosha Hyatt of Des Moines was being transported from Council Bluffs to Des Moines by the officers.

The State Medical Examiner identified 25-year-old Ben Beary, of Knoxville, as the driver of the car which crashed head-on into the Des Moines police S-U-V. The State Patrol is still investigating how the accident happened.
