From Facebook. Timothy P Banse comments, "Tell us about why you missed all the meetings and what you were thinking when you defied the governors' [sic] order to fly the flag at half mast [sic, re Charlie Kirk], and the time you foolishly vowed to hold ICE accountable ... Me: Timothy asks three questions, and I offer three answers: 1. I took one week off last year: two absences. Every other absence was to tend to my ailing dad. He's dead now. 2. I do not work for the governor. I do not work for the legislature. I work for Johnson County, and no, I will not honor bigots. 3. https://www.federaloverreach.org
Screenshot of the Press Citizen, and a photo of candidate Greg Erceg. He's in a blue polo, smiling, with his back, I think, to a high point of the Mississippi. A bald eagle is doing bald eagle shit over his right shoulder.

Lowering flags: A victory for pique Although Senate File 2430’s text didn’t change from Reynolds’ proposal to final passage, it still rates as the Legislature’s biggest waste of time this year. The law will allow the attorney general to sue if a local government ignores the governor’s proclamation to lower U.S. and Iowa flags to half-staff. A Johnson County supervisor saying he didn’t want to lower the flag after the 2025 political assassination of Charlie Kirk prompted the move. The only thing worse than the supervisor's indiscreet choice is this petty bill, which should be Exhibit A for people wanting to argue the Legislature should have devoted time to their pet issue this year.
One of the times we saw them for instance was outside waiting for our busses, where this Chevy D/K pickup on lift kit tractor tires comes roaring through the parking lot...
