Then, lasas may, the iowa Supreme Court ruled unanimously to dismiss it. Kcrgtv9s Dave Franzman takes us to toledo, to see whats next for the empty prime real estate. Even though the state of iowa walked away from this juvenile home, the expenses go on. One state representativ e figures its costing taxpayers 375thousand dollars a year for security, maintenance. So the Iowa Department of Human Services is feeling pressure to find a new owner. The state has been wanting to gift the property over to the city of toledo but again the buildings post a problem. Theyre too expensive for the city to take oveve toledo mayor dave svoboo echoes those feelings saying the city of 23hundred has a budget of three Million Dollars a year and adding the expenses of maintaining nearly a dozen buildings would be too much. But he would like a part of the property. The southern half is empty land with Athletic Facilities like a nearlynew outdoor tennis and basketball court. He says its practically a readymade city park. Eventually, it might develop part of it into housing if somebody would show some interest in it. Its just all kind of up in the air.

B the stateght have no other choice. That was tv9s Dave Franzman a couple of weeks ago, the director of dhs sent a letter to the city of toledo expressing a need to do something with the old juvenile home.

We have 76 percent of the School Districts in iowa raising property taxes, which is a regressive tax, and one that the legigiature is forcing them to rely on, so these are the options that they are exercising. Lets keep in mind that the approved 140 Million Dollars of increased revenue going to the schools. Clearly they can build their budgets on that.
