Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A House panel has approved a bill allowing anyone to file a complaint with the attorney general’s office alleging a business is employing an illegal immigrant. The measure requires the attorney general, county attorneys and local police to investigate the complaints.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa health officials are appealing a Polk County court decision ordering the state to list both members of a same-sex marriage as the parents of a now-two-year-old child. State officials say the January decision addresses children born to a lesbian mother who conceived through the use of an anonymous sperm donor, but doesn’t resolve cases of same-sex couples who conceive in other ways.

ONAWA, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say it appears there was no burglary at a business where a shooting happened in the western Iowa community of Onawa (AHN’-uh-wah). Officials say Darren Hieber initially told police he was shot in the leg Sunday night while interrupting a burglary at his business. Police now believe he was shot by an employee. No charges have been filed.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two women face several charges for allegedly attacking employees during a shoplifting incident at a grocery store in Des Moines. Police say several workers were injured in the fight Saturday at Dahl’s Foods. Karolann Harris and Marie Harris are charged with first-degree robbery, willful injury, criminal mischief and assault.

Riverside Bond & Glenwood RPS votes today

News

February 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

Patrons of the Oakland-Riverside and Glenwood School Districts will be heading to the polls today for different reasons. In the Oakland-Riverside District, voters will decide on whether or not to approve a $13.3 million bond issue for construction of a new K-through-12 building.

The facility would replace the district’s three separate buildings, in Oakland, Carson, and Macedonia, with one building to house students in all grades. It would be built on approximately 70 acres of land located a mile south of Oakland. With the sales tax bonds and cash on hand, the project’s total cost is $21,608,000.

A similar referendum failed last year when it received only 53 percent of the vote. The measure must receive a 60 percent super majority, in order for it to pass. Polls are open at the Oakland and Carson Community Centers and Macedonia City Hall Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Voters in the Glenwood School District are facing a decision on whether to renew the district’s revenue purpose statement (or, RPS), which allows for the expenditures of revenues from the statewide local option sales tax. Approval of the referendum by a simple majority would extend the statement for another 16 years. The current RPS is set to expire next year. The state’s penny sale tax law sunsets in 2029. School officials have said they would use the funds to reduce the district’s debt.

The polls are open at the Glenwood American Legion Building from noon to 8 p.m.
