Gorsuch deflects on ethics and politics during hearings
Judge nominee Neil Gorsuch told Sen Blumenthal he is heartened by integrity but disheartened by attacks on judges. He dodged questions on Roe v. Wade, money in politics, and gun rights, stressing no Republican or Democratic judges exist, only judges bound by law. He refused to comment on past or future cases and emphasized leaving personal views at home.

Crestwood Ridge housing plan seeks fresh bid after rezoning defeat
CommonBond seeks a successive application to rework Crestwood Ridge at 1200 Edgewood Rd NW after the City Council rejected a rezoning amid neighborhood opposition. Changes include a new turn lane, underground cistern, expanded green space and sidewalk access to Jackson Elementary, with 75 parking stalls and 36 units for 60 percent area median income, four market-rate units, and 10 percent homeless housing. The Iowa Finance Authority tax credit remains at stake with a June deadline for land purchase and 10 percent project spend.
