Des Moines residents should start to see refund checks from the city’s illegal franchise fee arrive in their mailboxes in November, The Des Moines Register reports. The city owes about $30 million to tens of thousands of residents from the illegal fee it unlawfully tacked onto the bills of MidAmerican Energy customers more than a decade ago. The slow payout has drawn the ire of many people waiting for their checks.
