EPA and Iowa agriculture feud over Clean Water Act ruling
U S EPA and Iowa agricultural leaders clash amid debates over clarifying the 1972 Clean Water Act. Senate Republicans press for closed talks with EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. Grassley calls the meeting unhelpful and warns of no change. The dispute centers on which waterways fall under federal regulation and the impact on farming.

Cedar Rapids council buys land from casino investors
The Cedar Rapids City Council agreed to buy four parcels totaling about eight acres for 415000 from Cedar Rapids Development Group LLC, the investors led by Steve Gray who had paid 2050000 for the land in 2013 to pursue the Cedar Crossing Casino. The deal follows an Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission denial of a state license in April. The city plans to market the site for development if no casino is approved and will cover demolition costs. Mayor Ron Corbett said the move preserves options and the site’s riverfront potential.
