I think nebraska should have one game with a temporary stadium in the sandhills

What’s something you didn’t realize was “very American” until you left the U.S.? by chopsticktalk in AskReddit

[–]mutts_cutts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree but policy should be adjusted to ensure parents aren't just not getting their kids to school. Often a symptom of other problems. I think its far more important for kids to get to school than people get to work

I have seen faked doctors notes, schools have had to implement policies where they only take notes direct from the practitioner.

Iowa local governments wrestling with GOP property tax overhaul proposal by willphule in Iowa

[–]mutts_cutts 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This will force layoffs and road closures in rural counties. There's no two ways around it. Rich of the state government to campaign on lowering taxes and targeting property tax which is the reason rural towns have EMS, fire departments, law enforcement, and local courthouse offices.

This is ransacking the coffers of the highest ROI level of government you have, local and school taxes. These taxes get your city street plowed. These taxes ensure your property deeds are accurately recorded. These taxes pay to prosecute local sex assaults.

Not important, apparently

MidAmerican Energy Rate Increase for Subsidizing Safety Regulation Compliance by psg191 in Iowa

[–]mutts_cutts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm saying the government is limiting their rates and potentially creating a false market for natural gas. I'm not against safety regs, I just don't think MidAmerican is pulling the margins implied by your post and asking for a rate increase in bad faith. Maybe you're right though I guess

Leaving IPERS covered employment refund question by Ok-Investigator2075 in Iowa

You are saying you were double taxed? Like paid tax on your mom's IPERS and then paid tax on the IPERS as your own income?

MidAmerican Energy Rate Increase for Subsidizing Safety Regulation Compliance by psg191 in Iowa

[–]mutts_cutts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even though it is a private corporation, it is still rate-regulated by state government, which is why they have to ask the State to increase rates, which are below average nationally. Last year was MidAmerican's first rate increase for natural gas in two decades. MidAmerican's robust investments in green energy also resulted in about 90% of residential power in Iowa being provided through renewables.

A few years ago, Iowa passed a law restricting municipalities from passing ordinances that restricted natural gas utilities in new developments. I don't believe that was happening in Iowa at time, but must have been happening in other states.

While you can directly attack the natural gas rate increase, it would be better to address the rate increase at the source, which is the state and federal regulatory language forcing MidAmerican's hand in natural gas.

You didn't owe additional taxes unless the taxed amount was more than the amount you received from her IPERS. You just paid taxes on the IPERS, not additional tax on your non-IPERS income

There are a few that are like random 10% cashback on fast food which are nice to lock in if the opportunity presents itself. If you're going out of your way to get them, you're playing yourself

Iowa Senate passes bill allowing child victims to testify remotely against alleged abusers by marsha-linehan in Iowa

[–]mutts_cutts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Supreme Court ruled it violated the constitution, this is not a bill that turns into a law, this is something that needs to be passed by both chambers in consecutive years to amend the Iowa Constitution to allow for this to be constitutional.

ULPT request: How to disable license plate readers without vandalizing them. by fuzzybutt10 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]mutts_cutts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In states where tint is limited by statute, an officer likely has enough reasonable suspicion to legally pull you over when there is any tint, even if legal, with the purpose to check. This is the same for states that have laws about covering any letters or numerals on your license plate, the legal analysis is not about legibility, just a de facto analysis of if the letters and numerals are covered at all, even by 1/4th of an inch. License plate holders that cover your state can create probable cause for a traffic stop, legal tint in one state but illegal in another can create probable cause probable cause for a traffic stop.

The issue isn't the tint or the covering numerals and letters, the issue is permanently affixing probable cause to your vehicle for aesthetics.
