(Radio Iowa) – A Sioux City woman who is the wife of a Woodbury County Supervisor has been released from a federal prison in Minnesota after serving time for voter fraud. Fifty-year-old Kim Taylor will now spend four months on home confinement in Sioux City. She was convicted last November by a federal grand jury on 26 counts of providing false information in registering and voting, three counts of fraudulent registration, and 23 counts of fraudulent voting.

Taylor was released from the minimum security prison in Waseca, Minnesota Friday. Her sentence is under appeal.

The charges all stem from signing up voters during her husband Jeremy’s runs for supervisor and Congress. He was never charged but did decide not to run for another term on the Board of Supervisors.

DES MOINES — A boil advisory has been issued for the City of Sidney in Fremont County due to a water main break. The incident occurred when a contractor hit a water main, resulting in pressure loss.

Repairs are being made and the advisory will remain in place until bacteria lab samples have come back negative. City officials are notifying residents via Facebook, the city website, and door to door notification.

Officials say there is no reason to believe water quality has been compromised, but as a precaution, customers are encouraged to boil water that will be consumed or used for food preparation. Water should be boiled for two minutes and allowed to cool before use. Water is safe to use for showering, laundry, general washing and outdoor use without boiling.
