Good morning, Dubuque.

Dubuque was ranked 16 overall and tenth among small cities for new college graduates in a Checkr survey that measured jobs, cost, and social life—its ranking mirrors last year's survey and places the city ahead of Omaha, Fargo, Sioux Falls, La Crosse, Ames, Indianapolis, and Green Bay. This recognition reflects Dubuque’s continuous appeal to young professionals.

On June 5, Dubuque police found a man's body in a parked car at the parking ramp at 110 W-4th street and said the vehicle had been there for a while with no threat in the area.

Three men were arrested by Dubuque Police after they forced open an ATM at Fidelity Bank & Trust on Cedar Cross Road and stole $33,600; they face charges of Criminal Mischief, Ongoing Criminal Conduct, and Theft— and are now held at Dubuque County Jail pending release to ICE.

Dubuque Police are investigating a death after finding a man in a vehicle parked in the 4th Street Parking Ramp yesterday at 4:45—his body was sent to the State Medical Examiner for an autopsy—with no immediate threat to the area.

Iowa Senate President Amy Sinclair said Thursday that the bill limiting eminent domain and regulating hazardous liquid pipelines is unconstitutional because it may lead to higher legal fees and lost economic development — and the measure now awaits Gov. Kim Reynolds’ decision.

Sinclair argued that the law does not protect property owners but instead favors activists.

Dubuque motorists are advised to avoid portions of South Grandview Avenue from Bradley Street south and around Carmel Road today from 6 until 10:30 due to the Grandview Gallop road race—law enforcement will close the area to allow runners and walkers safe passage.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a law that requires some Medicaid recipients to work 80 hours per month if a federal waiver is approved—about 32,000 eligible Iowans are projected to lose coverage under the new requirements.

Western Dubuque’s Quentin Nauman ran an all-time Iowa best of 3:58.65 in the boys' championship mile at the HOKA Festival of Miles on Thursday in St. Louis; he finished with a 54.7-second final lap plus had recorded historic wins in the 800 and 1,600 races at the state meet.

This achievement marks another milestone for the track star.

Iowa City High pitched to its 1.05 ERA in a double-header at Mercer Park Friday night—Wahlert won the opener 2-0 while City High took the nightcap 3-1, reflecting strong pitching from both teams.
