LOOSE ENDS 5/14: Community Police Initiative ×
By Pam Hersh
The bulletin board in Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street is actually an art exhibit of index cards. The theme of the pop art is:
What Have You Learned to Appreciate Because of COVID?
The responses include sentiments we all have felt this year: hugs, kisses, grandma and grandpa, siblings, streaming services, in-person school, live concerts, classical music, jazz music, grocery store clerks, baristas, and, of course, bathrooms.
I would add one more wonky thing that I never would have said prior to COVID – data. More specifically, I now treasure decision-making based on data and how one small data-induced step on my part can lead to one giant step forward for everyone.
A roundup of legislative and Capitol news items of interest for Wednesday, May 5, 2021:
ADJOURNMENT DELAY: A GOP stalemate over tax policy has the potential to drag out the 2021 session.
Gov. Kim Reynolds pitched a compromise package Wednesday she hoped would break a stalemate, but House Speaker Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford, said thereâs no agreement yet.
Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver, R-Ankeny, says his members want to resolve the tax-policy impasse before they move ahead with the fiscal 2022 state budget.
âI donât see us getting done obviously this week. I donât think weâll be done next week, so I think weâre looking at several weeks minimum regardless,â said Whitver.
