CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — A northern Iowa woman has been accused of injecting her mother with insulin in an attempt to kill her. Floyd County District Court records say 44-year-old Jennifer Bean is charged with attempted murder. Bean’s next court hearing is scheduled for Friday.
A court document says Bean injected her mother on Nov. 6 in Charles City. The document says the insulin caused the woman to have low blood sugar that, if not treated, could have resulted in the woman’s death.
The documents also say Bean struck and pushed her mother and took away a phone when her mother tried to call 911 for help.
(Radio Iowa) — The head of the Environmental Protection Agency says U.S. drivers WILL have access to E15 gasoline next summer. Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler is trying to alleviate concerns about the timeline his agency has proposed for moving to year-round sales of E15. “We will be able to go to year-round E15 by next summer. This is a commitment by President Trump,” Wheeler said.
The published agenda by the EPA shows E15 rule making will begin in February. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and other ethanol supporters say that timeline would make it difficult to deliver E15 for the 2019 summer driving season. Wheeler insists the normal rulemaking process will be completed in time. “So, that does take a little bit of time but our people are already working on it and we’ll be putting out the proposal and getting those comments and then finalizing it before the driving season,” Wheeler said.
The Renewable Fuels Association has said the EPA should expedite the rulemaking process so drivers and the industry have the assurance of next summer’s E15 availability. According to Wheeler, all deadlines will be met for it to be available.
(Radio Iowa) — The administrators of state agencies soon will begin presenting their budget outlines for NEXT year to Governor Kim Reynolds in a series of hearings. The leaders of nine state agencies will make their cases to the governor this (Tuesday) afternoon at the statehouse. Reynolds, a Republican, spent much of the summer and fall out on the campaign trail and won a four-year term in office a week ago today (Tuesday). “It’s nice to be back in the office and start to catch up on some of that stuff,” Reynolds says.
The next state budgeting year starts July 1st. Reynolds will present a proposed outline for state spending to legislators in January. The governor says tax receipts appear steady and reserve accounts are full. “It’s a much better place than we’ve been in for the last two legislative sessions and I’m looking forward to that,” Reynolds says. Lawmakers made mid-year budget cuts in each of the past two years after state tax collections slipped below expectations.
