Iowa judges face pay crisis with calls for raises
An Iowa State Bar Association commission warns of a judicial pay crisis, recommending raises over three years to 72,000 for district judges, 62,800 for associate district judges, 75,800 for Court of Appeals judges, and 78,900 for Supreme Court justices. The panel links salaries to attracting and retaining top lawyers, noting Iowa ranks low in per capita income and judicial pay. The plan would cost about 2.72 million annually by 1990, with fees and fines funding part of the increase.

Senate approves modified supplemental spending bill in Iowa
Iowa Senate rejected the House plan for extra state spending and adopted a $10.8 million general fund package. The measure deappropriates about $5.8 million from various agencies and diverts a $7.8 million rainy day fund, with Medicaid seen as the only potentially justified cost. The bill, House File 355, goes back to the House for consideration.

No room in inn
A group called Chemical People asked Des Moines hotels to deny rooms to minors to curb alcohol and drug issues tied to state tournaments and school events. The proposal targets age 18 as the cutoff, facing potential lawsuits from venues if teens are refused. County Attorney James Smith notes hotels may set rules if not arbitrary.
