Cedar Rapids chicken ordinance a quiet success with few complaints
Cedar Rapids legalized up to six hens per household last summer. Only a handful of noise complaints emerged, mostly from roosters. Permits are low at 18, with about 75 residents having taken the required class through Indian Creek Nature Center. nearby Palo and Iowa City discussed similar rules. Palo reports five families with hens and no issues. The ordinance faces October review and remains largely controversy-free.

Iowa Justices Resolutions Take Months Amid Impeachment Push
GOP lawmakers contend the Iowa Supreme Court overstepped its constitutional authority when it struck down a 1998 law defining marriage as between one man and one woman. Opponents say the ruling amounted to activism, aiding same sex marriage. Impeachment resolutions target Chief Justice Mark Cady and Justices Appel, Hecht, and Wiggins, with no full House action this session due to pending papers. A Polk County lawsuit challenging ballots in the 2010 retention vote was dismissed for lack of standing.
