Kopel rebuffed on court cost hassle
Linn County will not enforce a court ruling requiring Cedar Rapids to pay court costs until the Iowa Supreme Court rules. County officials considered contempt actions or withholding fines, but the county attorney said no action until the high court decides. The dispute stems from the 1973 unified court change and may involve $80,000 to $100,000. The Supreme Court ruling is expected about a year.

Social Security amendments raise taxes and retirement rules
The House approved a Ketchum amendment to remove wage limits for Social Security recipients by 1982 and raise taxes to fund expanded benefits. It would set a maximum tax of 3025 in 1987 for high earners and keep physician and lawyer retirees working, while another Fisher proposal would study extending coverage to government workers. The body also backed borrowing authority from the Treasury to prevent insolvency and rejected removing this power.
