Tillerson faces possible Senate hurdle on Putin ties
Three Republican senators John McCain Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham have signaled opposition questions about Rex Tillerson’s ties to Vladimir Putin. The narrow Senate margin and party loyalty could shield the nominee though Democrats plan a tough review citing ExxonMobil dealings and climate policy. The process may be lengthy with Chuck Schumer warning of concerns.

Linn County delays minimum wage start amid preemption debate
Linn County supervisor Brent Oleson proposes delaying the first $1 increase in the county wage to July 1 to allow state lawmakers time to address preemption. The change would affect the $8.25 start, with three planned increases to $10.25, while rest of the ordinance remains intact. The board will vote after discussion at the Jean Oxley Building in Cedar Rapids as lawmakers consider statewide preemption and home rule questions.
