VanderPlaats will not run as independent, goes after Supreme Court justices
|

10:55 AM, Aug 6 2010
by O. Kay Henderson, Radio Iowa and KGLO
DES MOINES --- Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Vander Plaats is launching a new effort in the battle over gay marriage in Iowa, a campaign aimed at the Iowa Supreme Court. Vander Plaats has run three times for governor -- in 2002, 2006 and 2010. In this past June's Republican Primary, Vander Plaats got 42 percent of the vote, finishing second. Vander Plaats had promised that if he were elected governor, he'd issue an executive order that would stop gay marriage in Iowa until voters could decide on a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage here. In April of 2009 the seven-member state Supreme Court issued a ruling which paved the way for gay marriage in Iowa. This morning Vander Plaats held a news conference outside the Iowa Judicial Building. Vander Plaats announced he will lead an effort to defeat the three state supreme court justices who are on this November's ballot in a retention election. Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Marsha Ternus is one of the three justices who are up for retention in November. The justice who wrote the gay marriage ruling is not.

AP source: Favre tells Vikings he will not return
|
|
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) - A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that Brett Favre has informed the Vikings he will not return to Minnesota for a second season.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the team had not made an official announcement. The person says the 40-year-old Favre called coach Brad Childress to say his injured ankle is not responding as well to surgery and rehabilitation as he had hoped.
With Favre, of course, nothing is ever necessarily final. He also told the Vikings last year he wouldn't play, but ultimately changed his mind and joined them immediately after they broke training camp.
Favre hurt his left ankle in the NFC championship loss to the New Orleans Saints. He had arthroscopic surgery in May.

Wetterling case --- Sheriff: Number of items seized in 2-day search

Latham reacts to Obama speech on oil spill
|
|
WASHINGTON --- North-central Iowa Congressman Tom Latham says the federal government’s response to the Gulf Oil spill has been poor and it’s time for President Obama to step up efforts. He says Obama talking about going forward all sounds good, but the concern is being two months into the disaster and what hasn’t been done and the denial of help from outside sources. Latham says Obama seemed to use his Oval Office speech on Tuesday night as more of an opportunity to push his agenda than to address fixing the spill. He says Obama spent about a third of the speech about new opportunities for more government control and higher taxes instead of spending it on solving the problem. An Associated Press poll indicates that 52-percent of Americans disapprove of Obama’s handling of the oil spill crisis. That disapproval rating is about the same as President George W. Bush had after Hurricane Katrina. Obama’s overall approval rating is stable at about 50-percent.
Latham was on the KGLO "Midday Report" with News Director Bob Fisher. A copy of the interview can be found this afternoon on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kglonews
