Marion eases no cost permit for natural landscaping
Marion updates city code to add a natural landscaping policy under Ordinance No. 25-05. Parks director Seth Stanshelm says the change removes discretionary enforcement of noxious weed rules and requires a permit to switch from lawn to native, managed landscaping with grasses meeting specified standards. The policy aims to formalize prairie support while ensuring permit review by officials.

Reynolds signs bill cutting Iowa unemployment tax for business
Governor Reynolds signed Senate File 607 at US Erectors in Pleasant Hill detailing a $1.2 billion five year cut in unemployment insurance taxes. The reform halves the wage base, caps rates at 5.4 percent on wages up to about $19 000 per employee, and reduces tax tables to spur reinvestment in workers. Dems criticize the move as risky for Iowa workers.
