Rinas seeks amendment to legalize clinic board control
Linn County supervisor Joe Rinas pushes an amendment to Iowa Code to allow direct county board operation of the Linn Psychiatric Clinic. He argues it reflects long existing state practice while Penningroth questions legality and motives. The board of supervisors previously declined to join the attorney general opinion request and renegotiations over outpatient care continue amid funding and accreditation concerns.

Family Savings Act Would Exempt Part of Savings Interest
Congress man Tom Tauke introduces the Family Savings Act proposing tax exemptions on savings interest. The bill starts with an $100 individual and $200 joint exemption, rising over five years to $500 and $1,000 respectively, to aid small savers including youth, families, and seniors facing taxes on interest.
