Iowa GOP Third District Republican Congressional candidate David Young and Republican Senator Charles Grassley are barnstorming the sprawling 16 county district in advance of next month’s General Election. During their visit to the KJAN studios today (Friday), Senator Grassley spoke fondly about Young – his former Chief of Staff.
Grassley was asked however, if Young is too tied to Washington, having worked there for 20-years, and might be “out of touch with Iowans.” He said “Nobody can level charges what-so-ever against him that he’s out of touch [because of his Iowa roots].” The 46-year old Young, who’s from Van Meter in Dallas County, is locked in a tight race with former state lawmaker, 48-year old Democrat Staci Appel from Ackworth, for the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Congressman Tom Latham. He says just because he has had experience working with Senator Grassley, doesn’t mean he’s a “Washington Insider”, as some would accuse him of being.
He said “I have had the best mentor in the world. Senator Grassley taught me how to listen, how to penetrate this government when the wheels of government are stuck.” The said he’s learned how to identify upcoming rules and regulations that affect Iowans and what they expect from government.
Grassley also reiterated his support for Red Oak Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst, who is running against Democrat Bruce Braley for retiring Senator Tom Harkin’s seat. Grassley said if Ernst is elected, Democrat Harry Reid won’t be running the Senate and there won’t be as much gridlock.
Young says unlike his opponent, who he claims “Will not be ready on day one,” he’ll hit the ground running when he is elected to office, and strive to bring Congress back in-line with what Americans want and expect from their government. Young says he wants to bring common sense back to Washington, by listening, asking questions and remembering “Who the boss is…The people of the Third District.”
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Inmates at a Rockwell City prison were found in possession of pills, cellphones and a hammer in a series of incidents last month raising questions about security. Records released to The Associated Press show one inmate was trying to break into the woodshop at the North Central Correctional Facility. He had pliers, a putty knife and a hammer. The inmate later revealed a hidden compartment containing a cellphone and iPod.
Another inmate had a cellphone he used to make calls outside the prison and for Facebook. A third inmate said cellphones – considered dangerous contraband under Iowa policy – were for sale inside the prison for $120.
Officers discovered 400 pills that initially were suspected to contain cocaine and Demerol. Later testing came up negative for narcotics.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has reopened the south entrance and boat ramp at the Riverton Wildlife Management Area in Fremont County, after floodwaters receded off Hwy. J46, west of the town of Riverton.
Much of the parking area at the boat ramp has a few inches of water on it, but it is still usable, said Matt Dollison, wildlife biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
The water is currently about 2.5 feet above normal crest in the main area. The walk in area on the southwest side of the main Riverton WMA tract and the Jensen tract south of the town of Riverton were both unaffected by the flood waters and are only slightly above normal crest. The north portion of the access road to the main area still currently has water on it so it is closed at this time.
October 4th is the opening day of waterfowl season and Riverton is a heavily used waterfowl hunting area.
The lawyer for an Atlantic woman accused of faking her daughter’s cancer says the woman is competent to stand trial, but unable to tell right from wrong. KETV in Omaha reports a judge granted Attorney Jay Mez’ requested the state to pay for depositions and Mez’ expert witnesses. Online court records show Mez indicated on Oct. 1st his defense of 30-year old Leatha K. Slauson would be one of “Diminished Responsibility.”
Authorities say Slauson lied about her daughter having cancer, inserted a feeding tube into the 5-year-old girl and gave her drugs and cannabis oils.
Slauson has pleaded not guilty to 20 counts, including assault, child endangerment and theft by deception. Her trial is set for next month.
