Iowa court ruling resolves annexed area electric line dispute
A district court decision clarifies battles over annexed territory between Marshall County Rural Electric Cooperative and Iowa Electric Light and Power. Judge Russell J. Hill invalidated part of a 1963 tax statute, upheld another service statute, and ruled REC lines must be taxed at rural rates and disposed within six years. The case involves Nevada Story County and is likely to be appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court.
