Iowa lawmakers weigh moratoriums and rules on Cedar Rapids casino
Iowa legislators consider bills to tighten licensing rules and impose a five year moratorium on Cedar Rapids for a Linn County casino. Rep. Bobby Kaufmann plans to file a similar measure outlining when a new casino could be considered, while opponents urge data driven, transparent review by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. The debate sits amid broader talks on immigration, abortion, eminent domain for pipelines, and distracted driving laws as lawmakers face a tight session timeline.

Court of Appeals Upholds Wagyu Bull Case Ruling
The Court of Appeals upheld a 2023 jury verdict against the Baileys in the American Wagyu Breeders suit. The case centered on a full blood Wagyu bull Michiyoshi, later identified as Hiroshige, whose disappearance and misrepresentation led to $460,000 in damages. Remains exhumed were too decomposed for DNA, and the court found no procedural errors affecting the outcome.
