From who hd iowas high channel 13 news at nearly three quarters of a Million Dollars in unemployment checks paid out mistakenly by Iowa WorkforceDevelopment Last year. May never be recovered. Good evening. Im lynn melling. Thank you for joining us has been a member of the workforce created should be able to keep those checks because it wasnt their mistake. Money its worth. Mike dasilva has the story. 02 12 2735 it was really workforce developments fault. Iowans came forward and pointed it out and said i want to return the check and they said no. thats why state senator bill dotzler believes the iowans who received unemployment checks in 2014 due to an error by Iowa Workforce development. Should be allowed to keep that money. Even though they got money that they werent supposed to. Dotzler, whos a nonvoting member of the Iowa Workforce development board, is proposing that iowans should not have to pay the cant get blood out of a turnip and when somebodys been laid off and they dont have any resources, youre gonna have to go through procedures of garnishing wages and all that. Andy roberts of the plumbers and Steamfitters Local Union 33, is the chairman of of the Iowa Workforce development board. Roberts is in favor of dotzlers proposal. 01 50 1524 i just feel that what its gonna cost for the state of iowa taxpayers to recuperate this money is far more, outweighs the amount that youre gonna receive back in. both dotzler and roberts think that money would be better spent trying to go after folks who try to defraud the system intentionally. And to make sure that mistakes like this dont happen again. The taxpayers we spoke with agree. 01 58 58 and i think that what they should do is look at preventing this things from happening in the future rather than trying to go back and reclaim money thats already been dispersed because trying to get that back is just gonna waste more money. 01 59 13 02 00 1123 because thats government agencys error so, and the money plus it cost them more. 02 01 0016 i think that its time to just drop it, because it was a big snafu obviously.

But did it caused controversy Justin Surrency explains how his innocence is now causing legislators to change hunting laws in the state of iowa a judges decision to clear joe franz friday of with hunting over bait charges was more than personal i think the verdict that was handed down today is a victory not only for my family and i but also for all the hunters in the state of iowa because i think its been a landmark decision. in august of 2014 franz bought land outside of the Melcher Dallas area in Marion County in preparation to hunt palmer, a large buck many considered a lifelong dream. such a beautiful creature. in october, franz fulfilled that dream. i never imagined in a million years that id be so fortunate, i thank god for the opportunity. but over a year later the dnr accused him of hunting over bait any time bait is in the vicinity and obviously being used to attract wildlife to the area being hunting. franz areas previous owners and made sure they wernt an issue by calling the filming the process. i contacted the dnr officer a he instructed me to cover up the everything was good. the dnr shouldnt be trying to make it more difficult to thin the deer herd than it needs to berepublican state senator Mark Chelgren hopes to pass new bills to put an end to what he believes are vague baiting laws. Across the state its been handled differently based on the interpretation of different what we need done. The dnr says they are willing to change we want to be able to work with both legislators and hunters to come up with something people can understand in the field. And its what franz wanted to see, but now, despite the victory hes no longer sure if he wants to be a part of. I have no plans to go hunting anytime soon, it actually feels like part of my soul has been ripped out. Another issue state senator chelgren hopes to address is the dnrs authority to take a hunters items before they are convicted of any charges. Franz has been without his bow, rifle and trophy buck since the accusations were brought forward. The dnr says it will return the items. Warm weather means. Melting snows. And ice jams.
