Des Moines Pope Visit Draws 130000 Central Iowans
A KCCI poll via Selection Research Inc. shows about 130,000 central Iowans plan to see Pope John Paul II in Des Moines. Ten percent definitely will attend, 63 percent definitely will not, and results exclude travelers from outside central Iowa. Plaintiffs challenge Lenox Community School District closure as First Amendment concerns, with state reimbursement for two purchasing agents and debate over closing only near the papal site.

Gov. Robert D. Ray says a special session on Iowa property tax is unnecessary and should wait until January. Democrats back the move to correct inequities and avert a possible 20 percent rise in commercial property taxes next year. House and Senate minority leaders are co-sponsors. Ray notes counties are affected and Republicans differ in view.
