Between Nov. 10 and Jan.

🏛️ Government
The Iowa Department of Transportation will inspect the Julien Dubuque Bridge on Tuesday, Feb.
10 and Wednesday, Feb. 11, closing its eastbound lanes from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and directing traffic via highways 61/151 (accessing highways 11 and 35) ahead of a rehabilitation project.
Winneshiek County District Judge ruled in favor of NICC when former president Herbert Riedel sued over his November 2023 firing, saying the board acted with just cause under Iowa Code.
The court found that the closed-door meeting to discuss a performance action plan did not violate open meetings law.
