Ottawa urged to back affordable housing plan on 17th Street
An editorial argues Ottawa should embrace a 48 unit apartment complex on 17th Street built by a Springfield developer seeking state tax credits. The plan would target incomes from 16 000 to 27 000 dollars yearly with rents 375 to 540 dollars, while stressing need for market rate housing and more multi family development. The piece urges annexing land and government support to meet Ottawa's top need: affordable housing for working families.

Beef pricing pressures spur calls for price reporting and access
Developments this month point to growing pressure for how cattle prices are set. A Nebraska federal judge allowed a lawsuit against IBP by 10 cattlemen alleging collusion to depress prices, while a USDA study found no conclusive proof that major packers kept prices low in the 1990s though they control about 80 percent of the market. Mandatory price reporting could help producers monitor price movements daily and over time.
