Good morning, Dubuque.

Dubuque Main Street removed its interim tag from David Barba and named him Executive Director.

Barba started as a development coordinator in May 2024 and was interim director in January, and he will serve as Executive Director working with stakeholders—business owners and residents—to revitalize downtown.

On Monday afternoon, Dubuque Police said that at the intersection of Locust and 10th Street in downtown, James Thill (82) ran a red light and collided with Tammy Huntington (51)’s vehicle, injuring Thill and causing minor building damage before he was taken to MercyOne Medical Center.

An Eastern Iowa woman named Tana Torres from Hiawatha pleaded guilty to three counts of prostitution and conspiracy for forcing a Dubuque teenager into prostitution last July with co-defendant Jarod Anderson, who was found guilty of human trafficking and related charges, and Torres now faces up to 8 years in prison — Anderson faces a life sentence.

Due to extremely dry conditions, Dubuque County requested the State Fire Marshall enact an open burning ban today after fire departments reported a rise in grass, brush, and field fires over the past two weeks.

The ban permits exceptions for outdoor fireplaces, barbeque grills, and trash burners (incinerators made of metal, concrete, or masonry with no openings greater than one square inch) until conditions improve.
