State transportation unit backs aviation fund change
The Iowa Transportation Commission endorsed replacing the aviation fuel excise tax with a 3 percent use tax and converting jet fuel sales and aircraft sales taxes to use taxes. The move would raise about 1 to 1.5 million dollars annually but reduce general fund revenue by about 1.5 million, with aims to boost airport improvements as needs grow. Al Hoover of the Aeronautics Division argues current funding is inadequate for future requirements.

October housing starts fall as Fed curbs credit
The Fed's expansive anti inflation move raised rates near 16 percent for top bank customers and mortgage rates over 13 percent in some states. October housing starts fell to 1.76 million from 1.91 million in September while building permits dropped 13 percent as economists warn of sharper declines ahead. Michael Sumichrast of the National Association of Home Builders predicts 20 percent to 25 percent monthly drops by January.
