IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An investigator fired after complaining about speeding by the governor’s state vehicle claims he faced harsher discipline than other employees because he embarrassed then-Gov.

Kim Reynolds were riding was speeding and complained that it was a hazard. His wrongful termination lawsuit is scheduled for trial in April.

SPENCER, Iowa (AP) — No charges will be filed in the shooting death of a man who broke into a home in Spencer.
