161735P.pdf   02/07/2017  Acciona Windpower, etc.  v.  City of West Branch
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1735
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Kelly, Circuit Judge, and Montgomery, 
   District Judge] 
   Civil case - Contracts. The district court did not err in determining 
   defendant City of West Branch breached the parties' contract in which it 
   agreed to rebate a portion of plaintiff's taxes for eight years if 
   plaintiff would expand its business into the City; the district court's 
   interpretation of the contract is consistent with its plain language and 
   gives full effect to all of the agreement's provisions; the agreement does 
   not violate Iowa law as municipalities have the ability to make the kind 
   of tax rebate payments contemplated by the agreement; claim plaintiff 
   impermissibly changed its theory of damages on the eve of trial rejected.
