ROCKWELL CITY, Iowa (AP) — Some Iowa landowners are raising concerns about the way workers are building an oil pipeline across their land, but backers of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline say the complaints don’t represent major problems with the project.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republicans say they’ll have the pieces in place on Election Day to take control again of the Legislature. That is a long-standing goal that would enable them to alter Iowa’s legislative priorities next year and move unhindered on a conservative agenda. State GOP leaders are pointing to their party’s voter registration numbers in key district races as a sign of possible success on Tuesday to flip the state Senate. The party has been trying to take back the Senate for several years.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Briar Cliff University is dropping its plan to buy part of a Sioux City park for practice fields after some neighbors opposed the idea. University officials say it is putting its plan to use the park on hold because of the neighborhood concerns.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Officials say that since a new recycling program began in August in Davenport and Bettendorf, the amount of recyclables collected has increased more than 70 percent from the same three-month period last year. The Quad-City Times reports that officials are crediting a switch to the “Go All In” program that allows more types of plastic and paper containers to be recycled. Also, the system no longer requires sorting of recycled materials _ it all goes in one cart.
