Lake Delhi FEMA appeal backed by state officials
The Lake Delhi community's appeal of FEMA's denial of disaster aid will be strongly supported by the state. Officials argue the dam provides essential governmental services and that FEMA's decision to withhold funds for silt removal contradicts the dam's public role. The taxing district has 60 days to appeal, with FEMA 90 days to respond.

Dooley Withdraws From Johnson County Supervisors Race
Mike Dooley withdraws from the November 2 Johnson County Board of Supervisors race after errors in his nomination petition.

Dooley cited confusing rules and disparaged the political climate as his reason for stepping out. Democrats Sally Stutsman and Janelle Rettig remain the only candidates for the two seats.
