IOWA DOT SAYS THE BIG ORANGE TRUCKS ARE READY WHEN NEEDED

We never know when winter weather is going to hit, and DOT engineer Tony Gustafson says they have the prep work done if the plow drivers are called on to hit the roadways. “Our maintenance staff and our fleet of 900 maintenance trucks are calibrated for winter, whenever that shows up,” he says. Gustafson told the Transportation Commission they still have a few more temporary winter positions to fill. “We’ve hired over 300 temporary C-D-L snowplow operators. We hope to get north of 400 for our temporary help to supplement our 1,100 permanent staff,” Gustafson says.

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

Lanon Baccam tapped to lead Gov.-elect Rob Sand’s inauguration

DES MOINES, Iowa (Iowa Capital Dispatch) - Democrat Lanon Baccam has been tapped by Gov.-elect Rob Sand to lead his inauguration team. Baccam is likely best known to many Iowans as the Democratic candidate who ran against U.S. Rep. Zach Nunn for Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District seat in 2024 — a race he lost to the Republican incumbent. The son of Tai Dam refugees, he has prior experience in politics, having served in the U.S. Department of Agriculture under former Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilasck — a previous Democratic Iowa governor — during President Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s administrations. Baccam is also a veteran, having served as a combat engineer in Afghanistan.

Feds remove pollution protections from Iowa waterways

The Environmental Protection Agency has removed several rivers and streams from the Iowa Natural Resources Department's list of impaired waterways , despite being contaminated with dangerous levels of nitrates. An environmental coalition sued the EPA over the move but the agency has doubled down on its decision. Citing high nitrate levels caused largely by farm runoff, the advocacy group Food and Water Watch and the Iowa Environmental Council took the EPA to court over its failure to protect segments of the Cedar, Des Moines, Iowa and South Skunk rivers, meaning they will not be prioritized for developing cleanup plans. Dani Replogle, staff attorney for Food and Water Watch, said the EPA offered a weak rationale for keeping these rivers off the list. "For example, by saying that we only have 362 days of data, and if we had 365 – a full year's worth of data – then maybe the percentage of exceedance days would be under the limit," Replogle pointed out. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources sends nitrate level information to the EPA, which the agency uses to decide whether to include waterways on the impaired list. Despite historical and repeated incidents of dangerous nitrate levels, the agency
