Well, what do you know, I've been at the @DMRegister for one year today. 😃📒🖊️📰
today i saw a duck family crossing university avenue and it made me really happy
Stopped into work today and had this special going away gift on my desk from @RandyPete. Legendary @DMRegister sports writers like @ByRickBrown understand why it’s such an honor to have it.
With that, I’ll be off for the next few weeks to use up some much needed parental leave I didn’t use after Bennett was born. So, no @IowaCubs or Cyclones news for a bit. I’m sure I’ll miss some important stuff. But nothing is more important than spending time with these two.
Iowa State just went under center with its quarterback and omg, what a way to send @RandyPete out.
@KimNorvellDMR @DMRegister Appreciate the English lesson up top. It’s a question of statutory interpretation, and my observation was that some people get more charitable interpretations than others. The DSM city council has a history of such “creative interpretations” of open records laws
Iowa cities sure do love those secret meetings. Appreciate the Register for shining a light on this
