Cedar Rapids seeks civil rights probe not mediation
City officials acknowledge Salem has strong mediation credentials but prefer a formal investigation. Jackson, the minority business enterprise officer, urges a three person inquiry by Justice Department investigators at no cost to Cedar Rapids, warning of past refusals to process complaints.
