Churches United depletes Cedar Rapids emergency fund
The Churches United emergency assistance fund in Cedar Rapids has run dry after 13 to 14 months of rent and utility deposit payments. The fund committee, led by Ethan Sproston, will halt those payments but continue other aid while churches consider next steps. The cash balance dropped from 13000 to 610, prompting appeals for increased contributions to prevent housing denials.

Cedar Rapids lawyer appeals contempt conviction
C R lawyer Gary Robinson asks the Iowa Supreme Court to overturn a Linn District Court contempt ruling and 48 hour jail sentence. His motion argues Judge Larry Conmey exceeded authority and erred by basing findings on unsafeguarded evidence and denying cross examination while ordering payment to the Indigent Court Fund and 50 hours of free legal service as purge conditions.
