During a work session Wednesday, the Board of Supervisors compared possible bond repayment timelines ranging from 10 to 20 years, each with a different annual tax impact and total interest cost. Officials said a longer repayment period would lower the annual tax impact but increase the total amount of interest paid over the life of the bonds.

Graham died July 11 at age 71 following an aortic dissection, ending a public service career that spanned more than three decades.
Graham’s remains arrived at the U.S. Capitol, where the Republican served for more than 30 years as an indomitable dealmaker who talked and laughed and badgered his colleagues into action. His flag-draped casket was carried inside by an armed forces team. Later, around 2 p.m., a funeral will be held at Washington National Cathedral with lawmakers and foreign leaders, a testament to his stature on the global stage.

- Description
- The world began bidding farewell Tuesday to U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, the four-term Republican lawmaker whose influence stretched from the state’s Upstate communities to the halls of power in Washington and foreign capitals around the world.
Graham died July 11 at age 71 following an aortic dissection, ending a public service career that spanned more than three decades.
Graham’s remains arrived at the U.S. Capitol, where the Republican served for more than 30 years as an indomitable dealmaker who talked and laughed and badgered his colleagues into action. His flag-draped casket was carried inside by an armed forces team. Later, around 2 p.m., a funeral will be held at Washington National Cathedral with lawmakers and foreign leaders, a testament to his stature on the global stage.
“Lindsey was a towering figure,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune Tuesday morning.

- Description
- Democratic candidate for governor Rob Sand says he supports Iowa’s new law limiting student access to screens in classrooms, but says more needs to be done to protect children online.
“Nothing is more important than keeping our kids safe, and today, that increasingly means figuring out how to keep them safe online. As a dad and former prosecutor, this has always been my top priority. That’s why today (Monday) I’m releasing a comprehensive plan that aims to help keep Iowa kids safe online,” said nominee for governor Rob Sand. “That starts with getting them offline and focused on just being kids. As governor, I’ll build on my record of keeping kids and communities safe across our state by holding Big Tech companies accountable for exploiting and profiting off of our kids.”
Sand’s plan would ban social media for children 15 and younger and require parental consent for 16- and 17-year-olds.
