Despite rains in some areas, fire danger remains high in the northeast. Hunters should be ready to extinguish small fires or contact local officials if fires cannot be put out. Avoid unnecessary burning and caution with trash fires to protect land and property.

Two tax proposals outlined by Governor Hughes
Governor Harold Hughes unveiled two tax ideas at a Waterloo speech to the Iowa Federation of Labor. He urged repeal of the personal property tax on household goods and proposed a double tax credit on the home stead exemption for seniors 65 and over, with eligibility based on income under 3,000 dollars and property value under 2,500 dollars, scaling down as values rise. He also suggested extending the credit to renters, noting rents comprise about 235 percent of property tax.
