Venison donation program in 1991 faltered due to funding gaps
The 1991 venison program failed as deer overpopulation was not seen as a problem and a $1 hunting license surcharge, sponsoring by state Sen. Dennis Black, funded lockers and the Food Bank of Iowa. The effort distributed venison via HACAP and Salvation Army, aiding multiple counties while hunters gained a meat source and herd management incentive.

Iowa Governor Culver plans a budget proposal due January 30 that likely includes a cigarette tax increase of up to one dollar per pack, potentially raising 80 million to 150 million to curb teen smoking and back health programs. He rejects a gasoline tax rise, while lawmakers weigh highway funding needs and overall tax levels.

City Golf Fees Rise to Match Regional Rates
City Council approved higher golf fees as cast by City Manager Jim Prosser to align with public and private courses. Golf Director Tom Laurenz cited declining rounds from 184,000 in 1999 to just over 150,000 in 2006, boosting revenue by about 255,487 annually. Despite worry that higher rates may drive customers away, the city’s rates remain lower than Des Moines Coralville Cedar Rapids and other peers.
