Postal Union fights slower delivery changes in Iowa
Cedar Rapids Postal Service spokesman John Burianek says estimates of wider delays are too high estimating about 5 percent of first class mail impacted in Eastern Iowa. The plan extends response time to July and centers on whether to push overnight delivery city by city or allocate manpower to overnight 100 letters to Ottumwa. Overnight rates within Cedar Rapids run around 97 to 98 percent. Newspapers remain largely on first class for a year with no change. Gazette uses 8,000 papers daily with many delivered by Gazette trucks. Loss of overnight service from Des Moines would cost Iowa Electric Light and Power about $25,000 yearly in lost interest. residents urged to contact lawmakers to oppose changes.

Branstad vetoes spark Dems admonitions on budget aftermath
Democrats condemn Governor Branstad’s 30 day budget vetoes as a setback for Iowa communities and the neediest while Republicans defend cuts to a spending spree that would have drained the June 1991 balance. The CLEAN bill’s $12.6 million cut targets waste reduction and environmental programs as the governor preserves a $27.4 million natural resources commitment. Senate leaders vow to refile the agenda in January amid ongoing disputes over lottery funds and economic development. Branstad also signed an education package boosting next year spending by $140 million and adding funds for colleges, tuition assistance, and welfare program increases.
