On Monday, Sept. 28, President Trump announced that a new steel mill will be built near Fort Madison in Lee County, Iowa by Mesabi Metallics. This is incredible news, not just for Iowa, but for the nation. The announcement is a once-in-a-generation economic victory for Iowa. Mesabi is making a ...
September was a very wet month, and we are all very appreciative of a dry forecast for October. Harvest season could be interesting this year. The Board of Supervisors signed a contract to hire an Engineer in Tama County, with a start date of Oct. 5. Thanks to everyone who assisted during ...

The school field trip tragedy late last month at Lake Macbride State Park again demonstrated the adage that a rumor can travel halfway around the globe while the truth is still putting on its shoes. Government silence during a public crisis or mass-casualty event creates an information vacuum ...
