• Lance Ehmcke resigns from Sioux City School Board (kwit.org) — Sioux City residents should know that School Board Director Lance Ehmcke has resigned and plans to move away for health reasons, creating another vacancy on the board. Colleagues praised his service, and the board may appoint a replacement unless residents petition for a special election, following a similar health-related departure earlier this spring. 
• Officials aiming for more commercial flights & runway modernization at Sioux Gateway Airport (kwit.org) — Sioux City leaders are weighing a sweeping new master plan for Sioux Gateway Airport that could top $600 million, including runway extensions and more commercial flights. With more than half the funding projected from the federal government and just 6% from the city, plus a fresh $10 million state grant for runway rehab, officials say outside dollars are key to modernizing the facility shared with the 185th Air National Guard.
• Mason City man faces at least 20 years in federal case (radioonthego.com) — A Mason City man has pleaded guilty in federal court in Sioux City to meth distribution and firearm charges tied to more than a pound of pure meth found south of town. He admitted helping move drugs from Des Moines toward South Dakota and now faces at least 20 years in prison, with sentencing still to come.
