Among the claims in the lawsuit, Hausmann said it's been blamed for issues and construction delays caused by design errors, not construction errors. Hausmann says that blame has resulted in a negative impact on the public's opinion of the company.

In the 2020 GOP primary Steve King lost to Randy Feenstra, he won support in the NW Iowa counties of Buena Vista, Crawford, Ida, Monona, Pocahontas and Sac County. All six of those counties stuck with Zach Lahn, who King endorsed, in Tuesday's primary.

"We're very strategic in the way that we make sure that our facilities and exterior of our facilities are clean and well-maintained," she said. "Our clients are not the individuals in the community and in the downtown area that are causing problems."

We first had a story about Lahn in '09:
"But Lahn, 23, has had the last laugh, nabbing the spotlight when he called out Obama in an Aug 15 town hall meeting. And the Sioux City native has turned the encounter into more than a fleeting 15 minutes of fame."

Lahn, a business owner from Belle Plaine and Siouxland native, who moved back to Iowa just more than two years ago, narrowly defeated three-term congressman Randy Feenstra to claim the Republican nomination for Iowa governor in Tuesday’s primary elections.

In this cycle, Besch sought to build a grassroots coalition to take on Rowley but also drew controversy for posts she's made about the moon landing being fake, the hantavirus being "propaganda" and the deadly fires in Maui possibly being the result of "directed energy weapons."

Republican Dave Rowley survived a primary challenge Tuesday in Iowa Senate District 5.

Here's the 2023 pipeline map. Worth noting that Lahn is winning Lyon, O'Brien, Plymouth, Cherokee, Ida and Crawford.

Not surprisingly, it's taking a while for the sprawling Fourth District to get Democratic primary results for all 36 counties. With 24/36 reporting, former state legislator Dave Dawson is leading with 4,235 votes to 3,931 for Ashley WolfTornabane and 3,797 for Stephanie Steiner.
