Iowa lawmakers seek paths to expand child care access

Iowa politics center on two plans to ease child care deserts. Gov. Reynolds pushes a three-year wraparound grant program for preschool providers and centers to deliver full day care, while House Democrats propose expanded eligibility for subsidies, higher tax credits, a small business credit, and a wage grant fund for workers. The GOP plan advances in committee though Democrats warn funding shifts.

Iowa City's budget projects deficit as taxes hold steady

Iowa City's proposed budget for 2026 shows a general fund deficit of 2.8 million. City Manager Geoff Fruin notes shrinking backfill from state rollback changes, with utility rate hikes and a 1 percent to 3 percent rise in fees to fund operations. The plan keeps property tax levy at 15.633 per thousand, raises water 3 percent, and adds a $2 bag sticker for yard waste while maintaining the leaf vacuum. Public hearings set for April 1 and April 15.
