Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 29th of May.
Good morning, Iowa City.
🏘️ Community
The Iowa ARL removed 22 horses from three properties over two days and moved them to its Second Chance Ranch.
The group said residents can donate online + via Venmo to support care for the rescued horses.
Residents in a north side HOA report weeks of delayed pickups by LRS Waste and Disposal Services, with today’s truck arriving two days late and a three-week credit offered.
The contract extends until Sept., leaving the community stuck with recurring issues.
🏛️ Government
Starting in July, a new Iowa law lets a close adult friend (a trusted caregiver) make end-of-life decisions when a patient cannot decide for themselves.
The measure prevents care delays by supplementing the usual hierarchy of spouse, adult child, or sibling.
The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services said on Thursday that over 5,500 SNAP households had their cards canceled and replacement cards will arrive within 5-7 days.
Affected families are asked not to request new cards and may contact customer service if they need help.
🏈 Sports
The Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team will face the Creighton Bluejays on Nov.
15 at Casey's Center (tickets go on sale Monday, June 1 at 10 a.m. on Hy-VeeTix.com) in their second straight neutral-site contest.
