• Fired administrator sues Tama County, alleging libel and defamation (wcfcourier.com) — A former Tama County human resources manager is suing the county's Board of Supervisors in federal court, claiming they falsely accused her of misconduct and damaged her reputation. The case stems from her firing after disputes over wind turbine opposition, an internal audit, and a state auditor's report flagging questionable spending in her department, with a trial date still unscheduled.
