Bond supermajority rule in Iowa taxes sparks debate
Iowa counties cities and schools require 60 percent voter approval for public bond issues raising property taxes. Johnson County Courthouse expansion failed 56.9 percent despite 27 237 in favor. Some lawmakers push to drop the 60 percent rule while joint county city authorities can issue revenue bonds with 50 percent support.

Ash borer prompts cautious watch in Iowa fringe tree
State foresters see emerald ash borers in a white fringetree in Ohio but deem it not a major Iowa issue for now. The pest, which has killed millions of ash trees since 2002, could threaten olive family trees like lilac and forsythia, though these are less at risk due to thinner bark. More infestations are expected as surveillance continues.
