Political candidates discuss ICN future and education funding
In Iowa education and the Iowa Communications Network are debated as lawmakers weigh selling or privatizing the ICN. Taylor favors a utility path to raise non government revenue while education stays the priority. Buhr and Freeburg lean toward sale if goals are met. All three praise the ICN as a valuable asset though capital punishment remains a potential vote issue for two candidates.

Departing Extension director pins hopes on new leadership
Ames AP Robert Anderson stepped aside after five years as Iowa State University Extension Service director citing drained political capital amid agency streamlining. He reorganized to cut 11 percent of staff and shift county specialists to broader roles while introducing laptops and updated offices. He urged a "white knight" to take over to move the agency beyond tradition and preserve relevance. Thomas Dorr, farmer and State Board of Regents member, says Extension is bogged down and no longer useful.
