Alliant seeks 18 percent rate hike as earnings slip across units
Alliant Energy requests regulator approval for an 18 percent electric rate increase for Iowa customers of its Interstate Power and Light unit amid broader earnings declines. First quarter earnings rose 66 cents per share due to one-time tax gains, but underlying profits fell. Wisconsin sales to industry slid 15 percent and a wind-connection unit remained weak. About 36 construction jobs are being cut or redirected, with a one week furlough for non critical staff and 401(k) match suspended. Executive turnover includes Cedar Rapids VP Chris Lindell leaving.

Regents map $6 million cut in 2010 ISU budget plan
ISU Extension budgets total about $100 million with 7380 percent from state money and 980 000 contacts with Iowans last year. Plans include eliminating summer commencement and reducing benefits for some staff while keeping vacancies up to 200 and cutting the Saturday MBA program. Regents face reductions across UI ISU and UNI as $86 million in state funding is cut in 2010 but $80 million offset by one time stimulus.
