The Gazette notes the 2010 Iowa Legislature began a brief push to trim spending and reorganize government. A $700 million one time budget fix left a looming next year’s gap, with education health care and safety protected using federal stimulus and reserves.
Readers debate health care reform with claims that tax powers justify penalties for not buying insurance. Other letters protest child abuse coverage, mental illness in court, car homicide charges on private property, and the value of arts in education.
A reader urges police enforcement for noisy motorcycles arguing that the March 23 editorial fails to curb the issue. The letter notes friction with loud riders and calls for tickets after experiences on First Avenue during weekend afternoons.
A March 19 story notes a proposed new high tech Cambus tracking system at the University of Iowa with an estimated $125,000 upfront cost and $50,000 annual operations. Brian McClatchey questions the plan amid budget cuts and tuition hikes, arguing the funds could be spent elsewhere while praising the ability to track buses.
The Iowa Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality is a big civil rights victory yet its lasting legacy feels small and personal. The author matches Jennifer Hemmingsen in noting the vivid changes a wedding brings while acknowledging the broad social shift unfolds one marriage at a time.
