Iowa Utilities Board will decide whether Alliant Energy can raise electric rates by 14.2 percent overall with residential class increases around 16 percent.

Lessons from a volatile decade for investors

The 2000s delivered mixed results with a 25 percent gain in 2009 but overall losses, driven by two major bear markets. A diversified mix of 60 percent stocks and 40 percent bonds would have grown $10,000 to about $13,800, while retirees in a 30/70 S&P 500 to bonds blend reached roughly $15,300, underscoring risk reduction through asset mix.

Colorado minimum wage becomes first in nation to decline

Colorado's minimum wage will drop 3 cents to the federal level of 7.25 per hour in the new year, the first decline since the federal minimum was adopted. The state ties its wage to inflation, and a 0.6 percent CPI drop caused the decrease while the federal floor remains 7.25. Alaska increases to 7.75 next.
