“The last time that I had talked to Brent Heeren about the legal processes going on over here, he told me, he said it’s all political, he says I want nothing to do with it,” Supervisor Bill Faircloth said during the Monday, May 15 meeting of the Tama County Board of Supervisors.

The statement was made during discussion regarding hiring an attorney for the Board of Adjustment due to their possible issue with Mid-American Energy. Hiring an attorney for the board was eventually approved after it was agreed that the Supervisors would attempt to talk to Heeren, the current elected Tama County attorney, again.
