Iowans Defend Lutheran Organizations Amid Allegations of 'Money Laundering' 2025-02-07Some Iowans have raised concerns following allegations that Lutheran churches and organizations are using federal grants as a 'money-laundering operation.' Former Trump advisor Michael Flynn and Elon Musk made these claims, which were discussed during a House government efficiency hearing where Gov. Kim Reynolds testified. Reynolds did not directly address the allegations, saying she 'can't speak to that.' A local Lutheran minister defended the work of these organizations, stating they are 'rooted in values of compassion, justice, and service to the most vulnerable' and that the rhetoric undermines their essential work. Advocates Urge Des Moines to Save Historic Birdland Pool 2025-02-07Advocates are urging Des Moines city leaders to reconsider closing Birdland Pool, a historic landmark in the city's north side. The pool, which hosted early rounds of the Olympic swimming trials in 1936, is seen as an important community resource for residents who may not have transportation to access other pools. City officials have suggested closing Birdland to help address a budget shortfall, but supporters argue it plays a vital role in the underserved north side neighborhood. |
