It& #39;s the season of sick cats. I began my yesterday at the vet, spent the day running between phone calls and edits, and ended trying to shove giant pills down the throat of a wild, beclawed beast.

This morning my cat is eating again, and I have 3 new stories to share with you:

First, I have a new write up on IA House District 85. Bohannan managed to find some notable endorsers that might lend the public credibility her challenge will need to take on a two-decade incumbent. #iapolitics https://www.press-citizen.com/story/news/2020/04/22/bohannan-touts-endorsements-bid-unseat-iowa-house-incumbent-lensing/2999551001/">https://www.press-citizen.com/story/new...

Second, the @jcahcoalition is calling on @CityOfIowaCity, @Coralville_IA and @northliberty to forgive utility bills. I spoke with IC City Manager about why he& #39;s hesitant to recommend the action. https://www.press-citizen.com/story/news/2020/04/22/affordable-housing-coalition-center-for-worker-justice-push-utility-forgiveness/3003300001/">https://www.press-citizen.com/story/new...

And finally, Phil Hemingway is back in the P-C, this time putting together a Facebook Live forum for #IA02 Republican candidates this Friday with the help @joshshiney, a former @KCRG reporter.

"We still have to make this happen," Hemingway said. https://www.press-citizen.com/story/news/2020/04/22/iowa-republicans-hold-2nd-congressional-district-candidate-forum/3003402001/">https://www.press-citizen.com/story/new...
