Steel plant executive offers SE Iowa promises — and hope

FORT MADISON — In a carpeted Quality Inn & Suites conference room, an executive in a navy-blue vest made promises to residents in the southeast corner of Iowa. First, Mesabi Metallics CEO Joe Broking promised the farmers, mechanics, local officials and others gathered there that his company would be transparent. Then, he promised them the world. Broking displayed a rendering of the company's plan: a sprawling industrial campus where employees will melt iron and turn it into rolled steel. He provided a long list of industries that could buy from the plant, from automakers to appliance manufacturers and construction materials suppliers. It will be “the cleanest, most environmentally friendly steel in the world at the lowest cost,” Broking said. “And we can do that right here in the U.S., right here in Iowa.” The promises kept coming. “Your schools are going to improve. Your housing market’s going to improve. Access to community amenities is going to improve,” Broking said. People in the crowd of about 100 whispered among themselves as he went on. “This is absolutely a fantastic opportunity for Mesabi Metallics and a fantastic opportunity for each and every one of you. And I can’t wait to actually come

Regents committee weighs enrollment growth, IT cuts to save $35M

A committee is studying how to save money at Iowa's three public universities by potentially recruiting community college and making cuts to IT. The Revenue Enhancement and Productivity Study, or REAPS initiative was established by the Iowa Board of Regents in December 2025 as a "comprehensive review of revenue streams and cost efficiencies across the Regents enterprise." The board established a target savings of $35 million over three years, which is roughly 5% of all Regent appropriations from the state general fund. The REAPS committee, which includes Regent board members and staff as well as staff from Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa, plans to deliver a report to the Regents in February. Chief Efficiency Officer and committee member Jacob Nicholson said he is "very confident that in February REAPS will deliver vetted, validated, and actionable recommendations for the board. " More: Library asks Ames to enforce an overnight camping ban on its property He provided an update at the Regents' Nov. 11 meeting in Ames, noting that the REAPS committee is reviewing several options but no final recommendation has been made. Some of the committee's cost-saving proposals include converting more of Iowa's

Even as the prices Iowans pay for things remain high, a survey finds many of us are sticking with traditions and won’t skimp on the holidays

Even as the prices Iowans pay for things remain high, a survey finds many of us are sticking with traditions and won’t skimp on the holidays. November and December are vital to retailers, as some Iowa merchants can make up for ten months of average sales in the year’s final two months. National Retail Federation vice president Allison Zeller says they’re projecting consumer spending will rise more than four percent for the holidays. Zeller says prices are up and consumers are feeling uncertain about the economy, but they’re not skipping the holidays. She says the survey finds people are planning early, looking for value, and protecting the traditions they have with their families.

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. Dr. Denise Jamieson, UIHC vice president for medical affairs , told the regents at their Wednesday, Nov. 11, meeting in Ames the group examined communications with patients and billing and financial counseling. Jamieson said it determined UIHC could inform patients earlier about what they may owe, connect them with financial assistance and work with insurers, employers and others that play a role in out-of-pocket medical costs. UIHC also could "measure whether the changes are affecting the patient experience," she said. "We want patients to focus on their treatment," she said. But the task force did not address the reason for the higher bills. In a series of investigative reports this year, the Des Moines Register Watchdog found the elevated bills showed up after the nonprofit hospital group started charging hospital
