Handcuffing of mother not state agency's fault
Iowa Department of Human Services officials said they were not to blame for the handcuffing of a woman whose children were removed. DHS spokesman John Fairweather said a DHS employee was only an observer during the Polk County deputies’ action. The emergency order was requested by a juvenile officer, not the department, per the Iowa Court of Appeals decision overturning the removal.

Warden warns Iowa reformatory ripe for riot
Des Moines reports Warden John Thalacker warned the Iowa Board of Corrections that Anamosa’s Iowa Men's Reformatory faces riot risk due to rising violent inmates, staff shortages, and higher inmate-supervisor ratios. He urged adding 38 staff at a $960000 yearly cost within a $15.25 million budget.

Off track betting seen as revenue option for Iowa racing
Iowa officials study simulcasting to televise live races to other tracks or teletheaters in cities without tracks. If the state covers telecasting costs, profits hinge on increased parimutuel tax from higher wagering. Simulcasting could protect Iowa’s racing from neighboring states and may bring jobs, but capital costs could hurt on track business.
