Marion Wins Ruling on Social Security Exemption
An Iowa attorney general opinion favors Marion's bid to exclude its Police and Fire Departments from Social Security. The city and about 40 officers would likely reclaim roughly 240000 dollars, while current contributions total about 80000 dollars annually.

IDOT seeks higher road taxes to fund Iowa highways
The Iowa Department of Transportation will ask the Legislature to raise road user taxes and fees to cover a projected $140 million annual shortfall over 10 years. Four funding plans shift to a percentage gasoline tax, create a vehicle use tax, and divert truck weight fines into road funding. Plans would boost primary highway revenue to about $139–$144 million yearly, with extra for county and city roads.
