Attorney General eyes special probe prosecutor
Attorney General Tom Miller weighs appointing a special prosecutor to probe allegations of improper contributions to Governor Culver s re election campaign. The move follows a DCI inquiry into donations from Fort Dodge casino backers who allegedly funneled 25 000 to Culver via a third party after receiving 25 000 from Peninsula Gaming. Miller stressed no direct conflict but cited concern over appearance while noting his office s limited use of independent prosecutors.

Gov. Chet Culver announced Iowa will accept about 35 million dollars in federal funds over four years to run its own temporary high risk health insurance pool for uninsured residents.
