Davenport Settlement Probe Awaits Court Ruling

The investigation by Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand into payments made to three former city staff members in Davenport is stalled as legal battles over access to closed session recordings unfold. Despite the completion of most document reviews, the city has contested the auditor's request for these recordings, citing attorney-client privilege, leading to a case now awaiting a decision by the Iowa Supreme Court. In the backdrop, settlements totaling over $1.9 million were agreed upon with former employees alleging harassment, bias, and discrimination by officials, stirring questions about the city council's handling and timing of the settlements disclosure.

Thousands of Iowans start their day with Daily Davenport

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“I'm a senior citizen here in Davenport, and this newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use Daily Davenport to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
