Iowa Congressman David Young continues his schedule of hosting open meeting events with his constituents, with two more Open Office Hours events this month. Open Office Hours are a resource for Iowans who reside in the Third Congressional District to meet one-on-one with the Congressman to discuss opinions, concerns, and ideas about the issues being discussed in Congress or to get casework assistance with problems they may be having with a federal agency or program.

Young’s Scheduled Open Office Hours include:

Wednesday October 18, 2017:

10-a.m until Noon at the Lied Public Library – 100 East Garfield Street, in Clarinda.

1:30-p.m. to 3:30-p.m. — Tabor City Hall – 626 Main Street, in Tabor.

Residents of Iowa’s Third District who are interested in meeting with Congressman Young are encouraged to attend any of the Open Office Hours events. Individual, ten-minute meetings to discuss personal concerns, opinions and possible casework needs will take place with constituents in attendance on a first-come, first-serve basis. Participants must be residents of one of the 16 counties of Iowa’s Third Congressional District, which is comprised locally, of Adair, Adams, Cass, Dallas, Fremont, Guthrie, Madison, Mills, Montgomery, Page, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Taylor, and Union Counties. .

Constituents with further questions regarding Congressman Young’s Open Office Hours events should contact Congressman Young’s Des Moines Constituent Services Office by telephone at (515) 282-1909.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The Des Moines airport board has approved a plan to create a premium parking option at its parking garage that will cost travelers $20 a day. The Des Moines Register reports that the figure is four times the $5 charge for a day at an airport economy lot. The board’s meeting agenda item for Tuesday’s meeting said the new option is “expected to draw those travelers willing to pay a little more for convenient parking very close to the terminal.”

Airport officials say spots in the garage’s short-term parking area often go unused, while long-term parking spaces regularly are filled. The premium spots will be on the garage’s first floor, directly across from the terminal building entrance. Long-term parking in the garage runs $14 per day.
