Riley proposes wife’s half of marriage property in Iowa bill
Iowa Senator Tom Riley introduces a measure to require that half of marital property be awarded to the wife when a couple’s estate is settled. He notes current law grants the wife only one third if the husband dies without a will, and argues most couples intend equality without a will. He says even with the bill a will remains desirable.

Oberthien Opposes Pre Trial Release in Probation Plan
Cedar Rapids safety commissioner John Oberthien opposes pre trial release parts of a six county probation program to be run by the sixth judicial district. Linn county Supervisors signed a contract to act as administrative agents with funding from the Iowa crime commission. The plan aims to supervise defendants on probation and provide recommendations to district court judges while shifting costs away from local funds. Oberthien urged keeping release decisions with judges, criticizing early freed defendants and urging taxpayer money to victims. Authorities say the program should be in operation by March 1 with 125000 from the crime commission and 40000 in kind services from the state.
