Politicians are going back and forth on who should name the successor to Supreme Court justice antonin scalia, after he died yesterday in texas. Many Top Republicans have ruled out replacing Justice Scalia until a new president take office. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell says voters should have a say in the matter. But democrats say 11 months is plenty of time the senate to hold a confirmation vote. Last night, president obama confirmed that he will nominate a justice in the coming months. This issue led the gop debate last night. Donald trump called on Senate Leaders to delay a confirmation vote. Florida senator marco rubio said president obama would quote ram down our throat a liberal justice, if given the opportunity. Today, more republican candidates doubled down on their stance. Sot sen.

This week, an iowa house subcommittee will consider a bill that would legalize the use and manufacture of Medicinal Cannabis oil in the state. It would allow iowans to legally purchase cannabis oil in iowa to help medial conditions. The bill would also guide manufacturer s on how to create and distribute the oil. Kcrgtv9s Forrest Saunders gives us a closer look at the bill lawmakers will take up on tuesday. Thanks to legislation, passed in 2014, cannabis oil is legal to use in iowa to help with chronic epilepsy, technically. But, lawmakers neglected to go much further. Its currently illegal to Sell Cannabis Oil in the state. Or even bring it in from other states. You cant do anything. Really, the bill we passed a couple years ago isnt being effective. Iowa House RepublicanBobby Kaufmann worked with chair of the House Commerce Committee peter cownie to create this hsb 607, announced last week. It would expand the current law, allowing for creation, distribution and sale of cannabis oil to help with; some Cancer Treatment conditions, incurable pain, ms and others. Those that need help, under this bill, will finally get it. Specifically, the bill calls for patients to get registration cards to use the oil. Meanwhile, public would issue four manufacturing licenses by the first of december. The bill would allow marijuana to be grown in iowa, but would require the cultivation and creation of cannabis oil be done in a locked facility, 1000 feet away from existing schools. I think its historic that, for the first time in iowa, weve had a republican introduce a bill on medical cannabis. Thats a big deal in and of itself. Senate democrat joe bolkcom sponsored a similar bill in 2015. It got through the dem leaning senate, but died after reaching the republican controlled house. This time around, House SpeakerLinda Upmeyer has been critical of the bill saying doctors worry theyll lose their license writing prescriptions seeing as the fda hasnt approved marijuana for medical use. Cover with quote cg she told iowa radio quote i still really believe that the fda is the arbiter of what is a medication. And making sure that the safety, the quality all those things is the same for any medication. The bill faces the february 19th funnel deadline, which means it needs approval in a house environmental officials will meet this week to discuss whats next in an investigation that found asbestos at a cedar rapids high school. The Environmental Protection commission will hold a meeting this tuesday in des moines. The commission could decide to send the case to the Attorney Generals Office for enforcement action.

The investigation found there was uncontained asbestos at Washington High School last year. The district says renovation work was happening in the area but students and staff did not have access to it. The district says it cleaned the area where it found asbestos and tested the air when the work was done. More than 100 cases of teacher misconduct in iowa have been left out of a National Database since 1990. An investigation by the Des Moines Register showed mistakes in iowas information, prompting the head of the iowa agency that licenses teachers says the state wants to make sure all the sanctioned teachers in the state are reported to the National Database.

The hawks are ranked 4th in the country, are have won 12 of their last 14. The offense is one of the best in the big ten and so is the defense. It sure sounds like a team playing almost perfect basketball. But coach mccaffery and company are quick to point out that theres still work to be done. I dont know if theres one. I think you always look at all aspects. Can we consistently win the rebounding battle every night . Can we always have a really positive assistturnover ratio . Can we consistently share the ball . You look at the number of field goals and number of assists and are there a lot of assists to the number of field goals we have . Those are the things we look at as coaches to try to be consistent in, because if you are in those areas then youre probably going to win. Still a lot of work to be done, playing for a big ten championship, but we like where were at right now and the way we continue to improve every day. Trt 40 oc . To improve every day.
