Iowa towns weigh meth sale curb before state rule takes effect
About two dozen Iowa cities and counties adopted local ordinances restricting pseudoephedrine sales to limit meth production. With a May 22 state law superseding local rules, officials must decide whether to enforce now or wait. Some courts plan to rescind pending local bans as statewide rules take over.

Curriculum bill aims for goals not mandates in Iowa Senate
The Iowa Senate argued Senate File 245 should set goals for a model core curriculum rather than force mandates on school boards. By July 1, 2009, 80 percent of graduates must complete the curriculum, aligning with Gov Vilsack’s aim and federal No Child Left Behind guidelines. Sen Keith Kreiman opposed the measure, warning it could erode local control and raise pressure on schools. Schools would report the senior graduation rate tied to the curriculum.
