Laura, as always you give us so much important information. You are one of my go-to people when I need to know something about a situation from an investigative journalist position and when I need to know who's running for what and what you know about them and what they stand for. Thank you so much for your outstanding reporting.

Thank you. I no longer live in the DMPS district, but follow the news and know several teachers. I hope we can all statewide find radical empathy as we stumble our way forward.

I can’t easily think of a good man sitting in a jail in a country where life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is supposed to reign. I will rest on the belief that Dr. Roberts believed in his heart that he was a citizen. People believe in unseen spirits will less evidence. There really is no other explanation.

Move on. Win the referendum. Help all,students become dedicated learners. Support the faculty and staff. Build positive culture.

Comprehensive immigration reform.

Re Hinson: she has proven so far that an Iowa Republican running for office need not have a campaign based on issues. Just demonize the Democrat and that plays well with the GOP.

I just hope and pray she receives an ugly surprise on Election Night from Iowa voters.

Hey Iowa, when are you going to put the clamps on the CAFOS and their incessant and dangerous pollution? Why Iowa is so cancer prone? Meanwhile, Grassley and Ernst and the boys asleep at the switch... the Farm Bill almost 800 days late and counting. Dudes, pull your heads out of the sand! Big Ag and Iowa Farm Bureau could care less about the health and well-being of their constituents or their future.

Thanks for your great coverage. Has anyone started a GoFundMe account to help Dr. Roberts with his legal fees?
