Decorah to vote again on municipal electric utility in 2025
Decorah voters will revisit a 2018 referendum goal to study creating a municipal electric utility replacing Alliant Energy. City Council set a March 2025 special election, with language yet to be decided, as proponents push for local control and lower rates amid ongoing debate with Alliant and state regulators.

Lawsuit claims nursing home delayed EMS in death of resident
A Polk County suit accuses Parkridge Specialty Care and its parent Care Initiatives along with Curana Health and two Parkridge nurses of elder abuse and negligence in the June 2022 death of 72 year old Neuang Boun Sisamouth. The filing alleges failure to call 911 for hours after signs of severe decline, leading to EMS arrival at 3 p.m. and death at MercyOne Des Moines. It cites prior state inspections and fines, plus past incidents at the facility, while denying wrongdoing.
