• Wise lawsuit against supervisors refiled, reassigned to federal court (tamatoledonews.com) — Former Tama County human resources and insurance administrator Tammy Wise has refiled her lawsuit against the county’s Board of Supervisors in federal court, alleging libel and due process violations tied to her firing. She claims a state audit that flagged over $250,000 in “questionable spending” misrepresented her conduct, while the county denies wrongdoing and awaits a yet-to-be-scheduled trial that could affect local government accountability.
