(Radio Iowa) The Des Moines Register/C-N-N Iowa Poll released this weekend shows four-out-of-five Iowa Caucus-goers have not settled yet on a candidate.

Teresa Keenan of Atlantic had narrowed her list down to three candidates when she got to the Steak Fry.

Trent Kutchara of Council Bluffs has narrowed his choices down to Warren and Sanders from a field that he SUGGESTS is too crowded.

Seventy-three-year-old Dan Corsair of Indianola is deciding between Booker and Buttigieg.

(Radio Iowa) The Missouri River is out of its banks, again, forcing the Iowa Department of Transportation to close a 20-mile stretch of Interstate 29 as well as a section of I-680. D-O-T engineer Austin Yates says about a mile of I-29 is underwater and the water is up to two feet deep.

The National Weather Service warns even trying to drive through a few inches of water is extremely dangerous and not advised. Interstate 29 is closed from Council Bluffs to Loveland, 20 miles to the north, while I-680 is closed from the Missouri River to the I-29 interchange. Yates says they’re keeping a close watch on several sections of roadways in the region.

Yates says the D-O-T expects the highways to be closed all week, based on the forecasts for the Missouri River. Closures have been frequent in western Iowa due to persistent flooding since early spring.

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — A judge has ordered jurors to resume their work Monday in the trial of an eastern Iowa hog farmer accused of using a corn rake to kill his wife.

The Telegraph Herald reports that the jury deliberated for nearly three hours Friday in a Dubuque courtroom after closing arguments regarding 43-year-old Todd Mullis. Mullis is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of Amy Mullis on Nov. 10 at the farm about 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of Dubuque.

Prosecutor Maureen Hughes said Friday that Mullis had wanted to kill his wife for years and was irate over her affair.

Mullis’ attorney suggested that Amy Mullis startled someone in the farm’s shed where she was found, prompting that person to impale her in the back with the corn rake.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Sioux City teacher accused of sending critical letters to her superintendent and other district leaders is appealing her firing.

The Sioux City Journal reports that Julie Fischer’s petition for judicial review says the Sioux City Community School District board’s decision to terminate Fischer’s employment violated her First Amendment right to free speech. Fischer is asking for a reversal of the board’s decision, reinstatement and an award of back pay and benefits. No hearings have been scheduled.

The school board voted to fire Fischer even though a judge cleared her of criminal charges. In March a judge dismissed six counts of harassment Fischer faced, saying the letters were free speech, not harassment.

The board has said Fischer was not terminated because of the letters, but because she violated the district’s Mandatory Cooperation in Workplace Investigation Policy and Code of Ethics. The board ruled that Fischer made false statements and provided misleading information during the district’s investigation.
