After long lines for early voting, Pate says officials reviewing options

Seventy percent of Iowans who voted early this year did so in-person, either at a satellite voting location or in their county auditor’s office. Secretary of State Paul Pate says some voters waited in long lines to vote early and there may be options to ease that congestion in 2028. “Whether we have more satellite voting sites, whether the actual county administrative office or auditor’s office takes some different approaches to how they lay out their physical format to accommodate,” Pate said.

Iowa’s pheasant season is underway

Iowa’s pheasant season is underway and Mick Klemesrud with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says now is a good time to come back to the hunt. Klemesrud says bird populations are as high as they’ve been in years, and that should provide a great time. “Pheasant hunting is a lot of fun, it’s exciting. You get the ‘rush of the flush,’ is what Pheasants Forever would push. And that’s true. It’s fun to see a rooster flush and see a dog work; you have that friendship and camaraderie and time outdoors,” Klemesrud says. If it has been awhile since you’ve chased the ringtails or you are new to the sport, he says the DNR website can help you. “And if you don’t have a place to go hunting, we do have options on our website, the Iowa Hunting Atlas, where you can go find all the public land that gives you an idea of what should be there for game. If you’re looking for something to do, come back out and give pheasant hunting a try,” he says. Klemesrud says the opportunities to find birds will get better later in November as the final crops come out of the fields. The pheasant season runs through January 10th.

Des Moines Warns New Iowa Tax Law Could Gut Growth Tools, Cost City Millions Yearly

Des Moines officials are warning that a new Iowa property tax law could quietly undercut one of the city's main tools for financing growth, even as the city plans adjustments to address an estimated $11.5 million deficit for fiscal year 2027-2028 and anticipates roughly $5 million in cuts for fiscal year 2028-2029. At a work session Monday, city staff told the Des Moines City Council that a 2% cap on property tax revenue growth, combined with new restrictions on tax increment financing, could make it far harder to capture new revenue from development projects going forward.
