When Keith Urban asked Carrie Underwood to be a part of his song “The Fighter,” she was already involved in her “Storyteller Tour” and had little free time. She told Urban that she had a day off in St. Louis that would be her last free day before he had to finish his Ripcord album. While Keith was filming his latest video that day, he flew the song’s co-writer Busbee to St. Louis, got a studio and was in there with Carrie.

Iowa Lawmakers Put Aside Philosophical Differences On Budget
Posted on by KBOE Administrator
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa lawmakers put aside philosophical differences to adjourn the legislative session Friday, because at one point their disagreements on the multi-billion dollar state budget came down to less than $15 million.
The Republican-controlled House wanted to stop giving state dollars to family planning facilities like Planned Parenthood that provide abortions. The state funding in question totaled less than $500,000, and the proposal was ultimately dropped.
Lawmakers were also at odds over $9.7 million for salaries to the Iowa Department of Transportation. House Republicans said the agency shouldn’t get additional money for salaries amid a recent increase in the state fuel tax. The Democratic-majority Senate challenged that, and lawmakers agreed to provide half the requested money.
Differences on water quality and medical marijuana couldn’t be resolved this session.
