wrong," said osceola county landowner, judy brueggeman. s/me landowners say they feel those dollars should help everyone g tax relief, not just one town. but the mayor says he wants to see harris grow and this tif money will help the town take the first steps to meet that goal. in harris, iowa...tommie clark...ktiv news 4." >> some of the residents say their next step is taking the issue to court. they already have a lawsuit prepared, and they plan to file it within 20 days. cooletemps are headed thiway after a couple of days of warm weather. joining us now is chief meteorologist ron demers with the first look at ouforecast. weather ad-lib we got rid of yesterday's wind but kept the warm temperatures making it an absolutely gorgeous october day. we're not going to be able to keep it quite this warm as cooler air slowly but surely starts moving in over the next few
