Iowa Supreme Court to hear real estate listing service case
The Iowa Supreme Court reviews a Cedar Rapids Board of Realtors challenge to the state’s Competition Law regarding access to the multiple listing service. The state contends nonmembers should pay to access the service, arguing it controls 95 percent of Linn County housing valued around $115.5 million. The board defends that nonmembers can compete without MLS access and that MLS is only one of several member benefits. The court also weighs a child custody case involving racial heritage and NAACP testimony urging adoptive parents to actively support the child’s racial identity.

Truck drivers at stops vent about regulations, log books, and deregulation. They cite miles per day limits, the fiction of log records, and the clash between movie glamor and harsh reality. Veterans describe the skill and caution needed, while others lament low earnings and costly motels as they chase pay. Mary Burke
