State attorney fee fund stalls as tax bill blocks payment
A $32 million supplemental appropriation to reimburse court appointed and contract lawyers stalled amid a $45.7 million tax policy and spending package that the House and Senate cannot agree on. State claims will not be paid in the meantime, hitting younger lawyers like Cuccini hardest as they rely on court appointed cases for income. Some veterans fear hardship as they contemplate retirement, while the defender’s office reports about $1.5 million in outstanding claims. Negotiations expected to resume next week with potential Senate action on indigent defense funding.

Palo considered as site for second nuclear unit
MidAmerican President William Fehrman hinted Palo as a potential site for a second nuclear reactor at the Duane Arnold Energy Center during a Iowa Senate subcommittee hearing on Senate File 390. Experts say two plants could share regulators and drills though ITC Midwest transmission would need upgrades. Palo mayor Paula Gunter anticipates local discussion at a town meeting in two weeks.
