(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Supreme Court has reinstated the law license of an attorney who was arrested last November in the Dickinson County Courthouse and charged with public intoxication. Amy Zenor resigned as Dickinson County Attorney, pleaded guilty to public intoxication and claimed she suffers from a rare medication condition that causes her to appear drunk after she’s consumed carbohydrates.
The Iowa Capital Dispatch was first to report the Iowa Supreme Court has reinstated her law license. It happened even after the court’s own Attorney Disciplinary Board concluded Zenor brought alcohol to work with her and that alcohol use was a concern when she worked for Clay County in 2018. A Dickinson County legal secretary told the board Zenor once left a cup in her office that had alcohol in it.
The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled Zenor is fully qualified to resume the practice of law and she’s now working in the Palo Alto County Attorney’s Office.
(Radio Iowa) – The Board of Regents will meet Tuesday to vote on allowing the University of Iowa to purchase Mercy Hospital in Iowa City. The proposal calls for the U-I to pay 20 million dollars for the assets of Mercy Iowa City. The U-I sent a letter to its employees saying the plan includes Mercy entering chapter 11 bankruptcy, and once that process is completed they would join the U-I Healthcare system.
The move comes after Mercy financial investor, Preston Hollow Community Capital, requested the hospital be placed in a court-appointed receivership to keep it from unsustainable financial losses. The U-I says Mercy Iowa City will continue seeing patients throughout the process.
