School Threat Response: Algona-area schools locked down after a threatening call to Bishop Garrigan about a gun, then lifted shelter-in-place before dismissal; investigators say there’s no sign the wider community is at risk. Retail Crime Push: The U.S. House passed Rep. Dave Joyce’s bill targeting organized retail crime and supply-chain theft, sending it to the Senate. Biofuels Breakthrough: The House cleared year-round nationwide E15, a big win for Iowa’s ethanol economy—though the Senate fight is still ahead. Carbon Pipeline Shakeup: Summit Carbon Solutions is rerouting its CO2 pipeline out of more Iowa counties and shifting the plan toward Wyoming after legal and political pressure. AI Conflict Fight: Court filings say OpenAI CEO Sam Altman holds over $2B in stakes tied to companies doing business with OpenAI as Musk and state AGs press self-dealing claims. Local Cost Crunch: Polk County is weighing shared services to cope with Iowa’s new 2% property-tax cap.
