(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Democratic Party chair Rita Hart says she’s working to ensure the party has leadership at the local level.  “We’ve got some counties that don’t even have a county chair. They have no structure whatever,” Hart says. “And we have counties that are totally engaged, have got tons of volunteers and have raised a lot of money and then we’ve got everything in between.”

Democrats have temporary county chairs in Ida, Louisa, Marion and O’Brien Counties. Hart was the Clinton County Democratic Party chair when she was elected in January to lead the state party. She spoke this weekend at a fundraiser for Kossuth County Democrats. “In November, I am sure that you guys felt the same way I did: a little upset, a little depressed, a little despondent…Not too many of you thought, ‘Therefore I’m going to run for state chair?’ Did ya?” Hart said and the audience laughed.

Hart cites Republican Brenna Bird’s defeat of Democratic Attorney General Tom Miller in last year’s election as a great example of why rebuilding the party at the county level is important. “Why didn’t we elect him? Because he lost by 20,000 and some votes and 92,000 Democrats who voted in the cycle before did not vote in that election.”

(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Sheriff’s Department reports five arrests.

On Sept. 19th, 29-year-old Bianca Linette McGhee, and 29-year-old Antanea Lashay Burton, both of Des Moines, were arrested at the Kum-and-Go in Stuart, by Stuart Police. Both were charged with Theft in the 3rd Degree after admitting to stealing several bottles of liquor from the store valued at more than $416. Police discovered several other bottles of liquor in the women’ vehicle, for which they could not provide proof of purchase. A strong odor of marijuana was also coming from the vehicle. A clear plastic bag of a green leafy substance thought to be marijuana, was found in the center console. McGhee said the vehicle was hers, and the pot belonged to her “baby daddy.” An additional investigation revealed the women had also been in the Adair, Walnut and Neola Kum-and-Go Stores, but nothing was stolen from the Walnut or Adair stores, because they were notified in advance to be on the lookout for the suspects. Two bottles of liquor were determined to have been stolen from the store in Neola.

McGhee’s charges were enhanced to Theft in the 3rd due to prior convictions for Theft in Iowa and Nebraska. She was additionally charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance/Marijuana, and transported to the Adair County Jail in Greenfield. Both McGhee and Burton were released later that day on bond amounting to $3,000 and $2,000 respectively.
