Supreme Court upholds utility rate ruling on unneeded Louisa plant
Iowa Supreme Court rules 7 to 0 that the Iowa Commerce Commission acted within a zone of reasonableness in denying a profit return on the 650 megawatt coal plant in Louisa County built by Iowa Illinois Gas and Electric Co. The decision preserves costs for consumers while allowing recovery of direct investment, but denies stockholders a return on excess capacity. The court rejects challenges by the Office of the Consumer Advocate and addresses tax calculations used in the rate decision.

Audubon County District Court must reopen the case over the 1982 death of 3 year old Christinia Rae Duede after the Iowa Supreme Court ruled 5-0 that alleging social worker malpractice is not barred. The suit accuses state employees Glenda Farrier and Deb Kopf of negligent supervision related to the child’s death following severe abuse by her mother Joan Duede Palma in Extra. The dispute heads back to district court to determine facts and potential liability.
