State moves to add bobcat trapping in all Iowa counties

The Iowa Natural Resource Commission is starting the process of changing the rules to open up bobcat trapping statewide. DNR furbearer biologist Vince Evelsizer says the native animals were wiped out during the late 1800 and early 1900s, but made a return in the 1990s. “There’s a lot of indications from our information and from the field that the bobcat population is flourishing in most parts of the state,” Evelsizer says.

The search firm filed a countersuit, accusing the school district of defamation, but CEO James Guerra says all parties agree that blame belongs with the former superintendent.

UIHC task force leaves cause of higher Mission Cancer bills untouched

A small task force the Iowa Board of Regents assembled to review issues with patient billing after University of Iowa Health Care purchased the state's largest cancer treatment clinic says more could be done to help patients understand billing and access financial support. The task force, however, was not assigned to do anything about the biggest factor that has made former Mission Cancer & Blood patients' bills higher under UIHC.
