A Gazette editorial reflects on young adults using Oak Hill Cemetery in Cedar Rapids for Friday night role playing. Neighbors and some families express concern, while cemetery leaders note ample land and ongoing burials. The piece questions respect for the dead and suggests reviving life in death.
The piece argues that credit cards can lead to debt and high interest, noting a federal provision blocking use for federal tax payments. Congress planned to expand card use for taxes, but lobbying and negotiations removed the reimbursement language. The author praises this as avoiding government fees to issuers while warning about consumer costs.
The Gazette details a Linn County resident letter alleging council wrongdoing, counters with facts on truck bids open to all vendors, abstentions by Randy Willman, and a forgivable loan incentive to J A Printing. It notes Stan Cadwallader’s absence during the decision, defends TIF voting rules, and cites Cedar Rapids Chamber praise of Hiawatha. Oliver Merriam, city manager, defends local democracy.
A Providence Journal-Bulletin editorial opposes naming a new Foley Square federal building after Ronald H. Brown. It cites Brown’s controversial finances and potential indictments, urges holding the proposal, and recalls Rep Garmatz's later bribery trial after a Baltimore federal courthouse naming.
Ruth Kava argues for pasteurizing meat by irradiation to reduce disease causing organisms. She cites 1990s outbreaks and FDA delays, urging government support and broader use of irradiation for beef pork poultry and seafood.
