The Gazette endorses a ten year local option sales tax extension to fund flood protection in Cedar Rapids. CREST gathered nearly 5,000 signatures to place the measure on March 6, arguing the city should continue flood protection and seek federal and state support.
A reader column argues that inner city renewal rests with the church, not government, citing II Corinthians and historic public figures. It laments mainstream churches leaving cities, urges civic faith and generosity, and contrasts moral duty with policy limits. It warns against reliance on government for virtue and highlights community acts and ongoing debates on public policy.
Petitions filed with the Lian County Board of Supervisors by CREST push a 10 year local option sales tax measure for Cedar Rapids and nearby areas. Backers aim for a straight yes or no flood protection vote in March, with implications for the east bank plan and Harrison Elementary School. The fate depends on federal budget details and state funding, plus citizen input on design and priorities.
