Jepsen bills aid families caring for older relatives
U S Senator Roger Jepsen introduced two bills to help families finance elder care, offering a tax credit or exemption and a parental trust account. The measures, drawn from the Family Protection Act of 1981, aim to keep relatives at home by offsetting health care costs and enabling up to 3000 dollars per year in trust contributions for elder care needs.

Judge Allows Iowa Cigarette Inventory Tax Collection
A Polk County judge ruled that state officials may collect a one time inventory tax on cigarettes held by Iowa distributors as of June 30. Hewett Wholesale Inc. and Witt Sales claim the levy is unconstitutional since the law imposing it took effect after the higher per pack tax began, but the decision allows collection with potential refunds if they prevail.
