County engineers push short term fixes on Iowa roads
Iowa county engineers report a rise from 351 million to 443 million in road funds from 1999 to 2008 while buying power fell to 293 million. Fuel costs surged, asphalt and concrete prices jumped, and crews use crack sealing to stretch budgets. They seek a gas tax increase despite governor's veto risk in 2010.

buyer connections must be disclosed in postville plant sale
Postville faces a fledgling economy as Agriprocessors heads toward sale. About 30 percent of the population has left since the 2008 raids, the plant runs at a fraction of capacity in bankruptcy, and 20 families remain under church care amid dwindling donations. The sale requires a sworn disclosure of any ties to creditors or parties in the case, including owners or managers of Agriprocessors, with hearings pending before Bankruptcy Judge Paul Kilburg.
