The Gazette argues Iowa should lower the bar for compensation to inmates wrongfully convicted, noting only two of 17 years have received pay under a 1997 law. It urges case by case review, cross checks with other states, and better transition support for released prisoners.
A Cedar Rapids letter recalls the Hach tavern's demise after floods in 1929 and 2008, thanks Save CR Heritage and Beth DeBoom, and notes descendants from Pisen Bohemia. It praises Rockwell Collins retirees and local volunteers for community service and outlines ways to connect with United Way and 211.
Michael T. Appel and Lyndsay A. Harshman urge Iowa officials to protect on campus graduate and professional programs and funding. They argue the board of regents funding model would shrink general fund support by about 60 million annually, threaten state benefits from UI research and service, and harm retention of graduates. They call for incentives to retain talent and for collaboration with the legislature rather than harsher competition among universities.
Matt Brandt of Cedar Rapids writes on the 70th D-Day anniversary, urging reflection on sacrifices and freedom. He recalls local veterans lists from Allamakee County and honors those who died, including his own father’s WW II service, urging peace and remembrance.
