Cedar Rapids approves budget with tax shifts and growth
The Cedar Rapids City Council unanimously approves a $116 million general fund budget raising residential property taxes while cutting commercial and industrial taxes by 5.26 percent. The plan keeps the tax levy at 15.22 per 1000 and predicts about 3 million from traffic cameras, though a state report may prompt removal of many cameras on I 380. The budget funds new police and economic development staff and adds kennel and housing inspector positions.

Deportation Stay Sought for Iowa pastor amid rare option
Iowa City pastor Max Villatoro faces possible deportation after a 1999 drunken driving and records tampering conviction. His attorney calls a stay of removal an act of mercy, noting the process is extremely rare. A stay could delay removal but is unlikely to be granted.
