The Gazette lauds Sen. Chuck Grassley and a bipartisan group for introducing the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2015 to reduce mandatory minimums for non-violent drug offenses, widen judicial discretion, and ease safety valve access. The bill seeks fairer penalties, cut minimum terms from 10 to 5 years in some cases and 20 to 15 in others, and remove life terms for three strikes, while adding penalties for cross-state domestic abuse and support for known terrorists.
The letter writer cites alleged preferential treatment in the University of Iowa presidential search, quotes Regent Mary Andringa's urging language, and critiques political fundraising at large.

Williams argues Sowell’s Wealth Poverty and Politics presents a global view of wealth and poverty, stressing geography culture and politics.

Republican lawmakers on the Administrative Rules Review Committee largely approved a Department of Revenue clarification that would give manufacturers a 30 to 90 million dollar annual tax break without a legislative vote.
