Linn County plans $58 million budget with rural tax hike
The Linn County budget unveiled on Wednesday outlines a $58 million plan with a 2.8 percent rural levy increase to $3.35 per $1,000 of value, raising $47 for a $235,000 farm and boosting the fund balance. Public hearings are set for March 6 and 14. The 5.3 percent rise funds pay raises, arbitration for law enforcement, and salary gaps for officials, while Moody's cautions about fund reserves. A state rollback of utility values and residential assessment also lowers rural tax base, intensifying rural tax pressure despite restraint in other areas.

Tsongas says balanced budget amendment needed
Former U S Senator Paul Tsongas told an Iowa City audience that a federal balanced budget amendment is a terrible idea whose time has come to discipline spending. He blamed deficit growth on four presidencies and warned of third party bids if finances stay in disorder. The Concord Coalition aims to end the deficit with cross party support.
