DES MOINES, Iowa (Iowa Capital Dispatch) - Iowa is expected to spend over $1 billion more than it raises in revenues in the current fiscal year, the Revenue Estimating Conference found Friday — but Iowa Department of Management Director Kraig Paulsen said this prediction remains in line with Republicans’ expectations about the initial impacts of income tax cuts. The Revenue Estimating Conference, a three-member panel, met Friday to discuss the state’s expected economic outlook. When the conference last met in March, the members projected state revenues would decline by 9.3% in the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2026, but that the state would see a 4.4% increase in revenue growth in fiscal year 2027. With the books closed for FY 2026, Iowa saw a 7.1% decrease in revenue compared to the previous year — a drop of just under $635 million. Jennifer Acton, the director of the Fiscal Services division of the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency, said this figure means revenues for the year were $205 million higher than the REC projected.

California’s next governor must reckon with a state of extremes — where weather swings from drought to deluge, and water divides the land of backyard swimming pools from places where grandmothers fear to bathe babies in water from the tap. Climate change is raising the stakes, amplifying the cycles of wet to dry and fueling conflicts between water haves and have-nots that have defined California for generations. The next governor — Republican Steve Hilton or Democrat Xavier Becerra — will inherit these challenges, and more. Groundwater overuse and sinking land in the state’s agricultural heartland continue to jeopardize both water supply and delivery systems. The fishing industry is cratering, and farmers feel so squeezed that some are planting solar panels instead of crops. And hundreds of thousands of Californians still lack access to safe, affordable water. From this shared reality, the two candidates’ strategies diverge: Hilton is outspoken about his plans to clearcut environmental regulations in order to build more ways to store and move water to farms and cities.

BOISE — It turns out that a drug-sniffing dog accidentally touching its nose to a car’s door handle isn’t automatically an unlawful search after all. Sorting out why, and whether the dog was actually searching for drugs, is up for debate. The Idaho Supreme Court on Tuesday, Oct. 14, published its opinion on State v. Pendleton, overturning an Ada County district judge’s decision to suppress drug evidence discovered during a 2021 traffic stop. In October of that year, police conducted a traffic stop on Shawna Rae Pendleton because her vehicle registration had expired. An officer had his drug-detection dog, Edo, conduct a free-air sniff around the outside of the vehicle. Edo’s nose briefly touched the driver’s-side door handle and possibly touched the passenger-side handle. Edo allegedly alerted that drugs were present, which prompted officers to search Pendleton’s vehicle without a search warrant. They discovered methamphetamine; marijuana; alprazolam, which is used to treat symptoms of anxiety; and drug paraphernalia, leading to Pendleton’s arrest, according the court opinion summary.

by ANTHONY DAMCOTTSun, October 18, 2026 at 5:06 PMA man was sentenced earlier this week for water pollution in Lawrence County, Kentucky, prosecutors said. (WCHS)LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ky. (WCHS) — A man was sentenced earlier this week for water pollution in Lawrence County, Kentucky, prosecutors said. Josh Ferguson, 42, of Martha, Kentucky, was sentenced on Tuesday to five years of probation, with 12 months of home detention, along with a fine of $20,000, according to a press release from the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Prosecutors said the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection was notified about the discharge of brine water into the Left Fork Blaine Creek in Lawrence County. On Sept. 3, 2025, a KDEP inspector investigated an area where Ferguson owned two oil production wells, according to the release. The release said a hose that was connected to a metal brine tank ran through a field and into the creek, where it was actively releasing the waste into the water. Investigators said the water was orange with no signs of life downstream of where the hose was, and water samples indicated extremely elevated chloride levels.

Il Fornaio, a California-based Italian restaurant chain, will pay $3 million to settle a lawsuit from the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over allegations of “ongoing, continuous and severe” sexual harassment of at least 100 female employees, many of whom were teenagers, the EEOC’s Los Angeles District announced this month. The 2022 lawsuit charged the restaurant chain with creating a sexually hostile work environment for female employees and retaliating against those who reported it. Il Fornaio is headquartered in Corte Madera and operates 15 locations across California and Nevada. Supervisors and employees across multiple locations allegedly subjected female workers to repeated sexual harassment, including “forceful groping in restaurant bathrooms, multiple instances of grabbing female employees’ private parts, requests for sexual favors, and explicit references to sexual activities,” the EEOC said.
