Gazette Election Notes Highlight Local Races
Inside the Tuesday edition the Gazette covers City Council districts donations to mayoral candidates and Linn Johnson county polling places. A financial analysis notes it would be extreme if the margin of error worked as suggested, with Corbett’s numbers possibly stronger online due to backing among voters 36 and older. The Gazette and KCRG-TV9 voter guide at www.kerg.com/voterguide is mentioned.

Condos Rise From Apartments in Corridor Tax Loophole
Thousands in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City live in former apartments now condos. The switch lowers property taxes for landlords but reduces tax revenue for local governments and schools. Since 2008, 36 Cedar Rapids buildings converted, costing about $600,000 annually. Linn County wide about 64 buildings valued at $30 million converted, cutting roughly $500,000 per year.
