Scott County Sheriff Faces Ethics Probe Over Parade Cars
Iowa ethics board opened an investigation into Scott County Sheriff Tim Lane over use of patrol cars in a Bettendorf Halloween parade last year. Lane says the event was public relations, not campaign related, paid personally, with his family and campaign shirts involved. The case centers on whether public resources were used for campaigning while Lane seeks re election. The board's unanimous vote triggers further inquiry as Lane defends the action and reiterates intent to participate in future parades.

Iowa lawmakers urged to standardize county recount rules
Iowa officials led by Secretary of State Paul Pate push for uniform recount procedures after 2024 primaries saw hand machine and mixed recounts in multiple counties. Bills HB 627 and HF 356 failed to advance, while current law now requires fuller recount reporting, amid concerns of future close races and multicounty counts.
