It s too early to know how local entities can use their latest federal stimulus money.
Des Moines County Board of Supervisors Chairman Tom Broeker stressed that message at a forum Friday, saying there hasn t been any guidance yet on the scope of local spending.
Broeker was the only elected official to speak at the Greater Burlington Partnership s Eggs and Issues forum, at which representatives from the county, cities and school districts of Burlington and West Burlington were asked to share their plans for money received from the American Relief Plan Act. We don t expect clarification until after the arrival (of the money), Broeker told the forum s virtual attendees.

Southeast Iowa auditors struggle to make sense of elections bill
The Hawk Eye
A bill sitting on Gov. Kim Reynolds desk leaves southeast Iowa county auditors asking one question why changes Iowa s election laws?
The bill, formally known as Senate File 413, includes sweeping changes to Iowa s election laws regarding how elections must be conducted. There s checks and balances in the system we have now, Des Moines County Auditor Terri Johnson told The Hawk Eye Thursday. Some people just don t understand the system and what we do.
According to Johnson, people throughout the state familiar with elections urged the Legislature during hearings on the bill not to pass it, though at least one person also testified she thought she had heard someone being able to vote twice, once in person and once by mail. Johnson, however, said what more likely happened is the person had turned in their mail-in ballot to election workers to be able to vote in person.
