The Gazette argues against using general revenues to bail out Iowa’s depleted unemployment compensation fund but says a one time use could be justified. The fund owes about 138 million with interest and could reach 224 to 384 million by year end if no action is taken.
Obituary honors Frank Nye, longtime Gazette associate editor and civic reform advocate in Iowa. He blended reporting and editorial writing with fairness, championed rural reapportionment, and mentored public discourse. His death at 70 ends a rare journalistic voice.
A Linn County reader commends the Conservation Board led by Tom Neenan for advancing the Cedar Valley Nature Trail as a regional asset. The letter also discusses Down syndrome with personal family perspectives and urges continued support for Iowa Rails to Trails while condemning calls for institutionalization.
The text reflects harsh views about identifying productive babies and condemning the imperfect. It laments government support and cites a doctor and Mr Braden with implied callous intent. The speaker thanks Mr Reagan for giving babies a chance.
A reader celebrates Linn County area high school basketball champions Dowling Maquoketa Regis and Linn‑Mar while reflecting on values. The letter critiques House debate on a nuclear freeze, singling out Rep Jim Leach and Rep Berkley Bedell and noting misgivings about the resolution’s intent and potential political motives.
The article argues Iowa's hazardous waste dump near Waterloo operates without adequate oversight. It cites DEQ inspections, contract flaws, and potential aquifer pollution, urging compliance with the 1981 General Assembly act favoring reduction, reuse, and safe disposal practices. It warns residents about downstream drinking water risks and calls for state action.
Richard K. Alman, once Cedar Rapids city arborist and Linn County Conservation Board executive, and former Alaska state park system executive, runs a tree farm and RV campground near Anamosa. He shares thoughts in this periodical observance column.
