Iowa House votes to regulate traffic cameras

News

April 10th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa House has voted to establish statewide regulations for automated traffic cameras that generate tickets for speeding and running red lights. Republican Representative Phil Thompson of Boone says tickets could only be issued if a vehicle is caught going at least 10 miles an hour over the posted speed limit. “While I certainly would prefer to ban these outright,” Thompson says, “the longer we sit around and do nothing on this, the more we’re seeing these systems being abuse across our state.”

Representative Brian Best, a Republican from Glidden, says after years of wrangling, it’s clear there’s no perfect answer, but it’s time to act. “Without this amendment and this bill…I think there’s going to be a lot of unwanted and unneeded traffic cameras that are going to keep springing up,” Best said.

The bill would require revenue from traffic camera tickets to be used on law enforcement budgets. Republican Representative John Wills of Spirit Lake wants to go further and ban all traffic cameras. “We don’t have to be found guilty just because our car was there, our license plate was there,” Wills says.

If the bill becomes law, cities that want to have traffic cameras would have to get a permit from the Iowa Department of Transportation. Cities with fewer than 20-thousand residents could not have mobile cameras that change locations. The bill passed on an 85 to 12 vote and now goes to the Senate.

Carbon pipeline related bill clears Senate subcommittee

Ag/Outdoor, News

April 9th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – A House-passed bill that would give property owners resisting a proposed carbon pipeline a new legal option has cleared initial review in the Iowa Senate. Senator Jason Schultz, a Republican from Schleswig, is working on some adjustments to the bill, but he says it’s time for the legislature to do something. “I do believe this is the correct thing…to give people an opportunity to know the fate of their land without waiting three years,” Schultz said. “That just seems cruel and unusual.”

Under the bill, property owners along a proposed hazardous pipeline route could go to court after a permit application is filed for a ruling on whether developers would have eminent domain authority to seize land for the project. Property owners who don’t want the carbon pipeline on their land are urging senators to pass the bill. Kathy Carter of Rockford says they need relief.

“We need relief from the unending stress,” Carter said. “We need the relief of the worry of how do I afford to continue on, all in an effort to protect my own property.” Jeff Boeyink, a lobbyist for Summit Carbon Solutions, says if the bill becomes law, it would have a chilling effect on Summit’s pipeline, as well as natural gas pipeline development. “At its core, this bill has been written to frustrate infrastructure development,” Boeyink said. “There’s just no doubt about it.”

Another lobbyist for the company told senators that Summit has paid 158 million dollars to over 12-hundred Iowa landowners who’ve signed voluntary easements for the pipeline — accounting for nearly 75 percent of the pipeline route through Iowa.

Clark Named Wooden Award NPOY

Sports

April 9th, 2024 by Seth Tiegs

LOS ANGELES — University of Iowa All-American Caitlin Clark was named the Wooden Award National Player of the Year, which is presented annually to the most outstanding women’s basketball player who achieves tremendous on-court success, for the second straight season. The announcement was made on Tuesday by the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
Joining Clark as a finalist for the esteemed award are Cameron Brink (Stanford), Paige Bueckers (UConn), Hannah Hidalgo (Norte Dame), and JuJu Watkins (USC). All five players are invited to Los Angeles for the 48th annual presentation of the Wooden Award.
The Wooden Award Gala will honor the Men’s and Women’s Wooden Award winners and will include the presentation of the Wooden Award All-America teams in Los Angeles on Friday, April 12. Honorees were certified by their universities as meeting or exceeding the criteria of the Wooden Award.
The most dominant player in women’s college basketball recently led the Hawkeyes to their second straight National Championship and finished the season leading the nation in assists (8.9 assists per game) and in scoring (31.6 points per game). She became the first player to finish No. 1 in both categories in back-to-back seasons. Clark owns a career 3,900+ points and she recently became the first Division-I player to record 1,000+ points in back-to-back seasons. She is also the only player in NCAA DI men’s or women’s basketball history to lead her conference in scoring and assists in four consecutive seasons.
Clark is the first time that an Iowa women’s basketball player has won the Wooden Award. The West Des Moines, Iowa, native helped lead the Hawkeyes to their second National Championship appearance in school history in her final season.
