6:27 am
police chief says the deadly june 9th shooting officers was justified. this morning a the minutes leading up to a bizzare chase unarmed man local five's kattey ortiz has the story. it starts with a routine hay road. while an officer is running plates ... 28 year old ryan bolinger pulls up next to him in the middle of the road. (move your car out of the way!) the officer repeatedly tells him to pull over elsewhere. (move your car out of the way you're going to get hit! - my life's in danger) you can quickly see bolinger outside of his car - he gets back inside, and takes off ... starting a low speed chase (he pulled up next to me at a traffic stop and got out of his car ... started running around on the highway then jumped back in) enter officer vanessa miller who was called to help. this is video from her dashcam. bolinger makes a u- turn at the
6:28 am
(we're gonna turn around, we're turning around) bolinger is blocked -- the first officer in the front and miller in the back. in a matter of seconds .... bolinger gets out of his car and runs up to miller's window. (we're running -- shots fired) once bolinger is on the ground .... miller is shaken up. (are you okay? yea. he came up to the window. right up to my window. we're alright) des moines police chief dana wingert cleared miller after an extensive internal review and says she feared for her life .... and did what any reasonable person would do. scanner traffic never suggested that bolinger was armed and he was never found to have had a weapon on him. (but it also didn't indicate anything about him not being armed. that's where you put yourself in that officer's shoes. in that split second she has to make that decision. if we want to speculate about why she didn't do this or why she didn't do that, let's speculate if he had a firearm. if he had ill intent, and he does have a firearm, and she attempts to put her car in reverse, now we could be talking about a tragedy in a whole different light.) elias:
6:29 am
miller is on personal leave. officer vanessa miller is on personal leave. this is different from the administrative leave that was done following protocol after the shooting. done following protocol after the shooting. the chief did not want to answer when she would come back ... if at all. sabrina: in the western iowa city of harris, a project in the western iowa city of harris, a project is moving forward with a tax plan that will divert millions of dollars into a fund for future projects. it's called "tax increment funding" the money is coming from a wind farm near harris iowa. "tif" funding essentially borrows against
6:30 am
the projected revenue of an existing project. the dollars generated from the turbines near harris will generate more than 170- thousand dollars a year for tif projects. that's three and a half million over 20-years. sabrina: some in the greater sibley community don't agree with how that money will be used....and shared their thoughts at a public meeting farmers associated with the wind farm are furious and say no other options for raising money were ever discussed. despite their objections the city plans to more forward with the tif funding. "we have 170 people in our city, we don't have the budget, we don't have the debt ceiling like bigger cities do to take on stuff like this," said greg spaethe the mayor of harris. sabrina: the wind turbines are on the tax roll at 17 percent and this is the last year that a tif can be passed to divert those revenues. those will now help fund updates to the cities roads and sewers next spring. elias: on the other side of the state,
6:31 am
a different type of tax will help build and improve projects in cedar rapids. build and improve projects in cedar rapids. this time we're talking about a self-supporting municipal improvement district. the city council brought up the idea for the new bohemia and czech village areas of cedar rapids. the hike in taxes would go directly back into the area. the proposed change would raise commercial and industrial property taxes --resulting in about 56- thousand dollars a year for new projects. sabrina: we're back with meterologist sam schreier... sam: (sam adlibs) sam: weather adlib: sam: weather adlib:
