Lundby pushes bill for teen runaway program funding
Iowa Senator Mary Lundby launches another effort to create a runaway assessment and treatment program. The plan would empower authorities to detain chronic runaways up to 48 hours, require parental counseling, and bar adults from harboring runaways. A previous version failed for lack of funding and was vetoed for unfunded demonstration projects.

Union accuses Branstad of misrepresenting teacher pay plan
The Iowa State Education Association criticizes Gov. Branstad’s budget for education as misleading. It argues the proposed raise from 18 000 to 20 000 does little to change actual salaries, noting the average starting pay is about 21 500. The union backs a 25 000 minimum starting wage and 35 000 for new teachers with master's degrees.
