Iowa Supreme Court rejects Cedar Rapids firefighters protest
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled the city did not violate state law when it submitted new labor proposals in private sessions after an initial offer. The decision upholds lower court rulings and limits the union argument that all changes must be public. The ruling may not affect future bargaining but keeps conflicts with Fire Chief Gorman ongoing.

Iowa Supreme Court rules ignorance of age not defense in child exploitation case
The Iowa Supreme Court held that defendants charged with sexually exploiting a minor cannot argue unawareness of the victim’s age as a defense. The decision rejected a Scott County photographer’s claim that strict knowledge standards violate free expression. The case involved Gary C. Gilmour, a Davenport photographer, and a 17-year-old woman.
