AARP official defends no free lunch fix for Social Security
Evelyn Morton of AARP Iowa says the Social Security imbalance is long term not a crisis. She warns against private accounts and stresses trade offs, noting the system can pay full benefits until 2042 and nearly three quarters beyond with no changes. The discussion aligns with Iowans and presidential candidates ahead of the Jan. 19 caucuses.

Marion voters cool to tax for sewer upgrades plan
A Marion committee called Citizens for Marion's Future backs a tax levy of up to 67 cents per 1000 dollars in assessed value to fund about 12 million dollars in sewer upgrades and related projects. If approved on November 4, the owner of a 100 000 dollar home would pay roughly 35 dollars yearly with no ending date. The levy could raise about 500 000 dollars annually under current base.
