Income rule change could cut Linn County spouses' support
About 14 Linn County residents with spouses in institutions face possible income cuts as the Iowa Department of Social Services considers rules to limit how much the home spouse can receive. Public hearings are set for next Wednesday at the United Way Building and Thursday at the Iowa City Public Library. The changes align with federal Medicaid rules, basing eligibility on the institutionalized person’s income alone. Public input and written responses are invited to Gwen Hall.

The Marion City Council will consider for the first time a ban on selling drug paraphernalia, modeled after Cedar Rapids regulations. City Attorney Don Hoskins and Police Chief Robert Zier say the ordinance aims to curb local availability and prevent wider issues, with final approval possible at the 7:30 p.m. meeting. The council will also vote on a rental housing inspection fee plan charging 15 dollars per inspection, with three year reinspections for passing units and annual lists for failures.
