So tragic that you never have anything to write about. Oh wait, the state of Iowa never fails giving you a backlog.

Chilling on every level. A lawmaker demands private member/supporter/donor info of a non-profit and orders the 501(c)3 to keep the quiet. My God. And to think Gov. Kim Reynolds just recently passed a law to protect this information, inspired by conservatives under fire and worried about government overreach.

Why has this legislator not been prosecuted for this blatant law violation? Oh wait, sorry I forgot our Attorney General is Brenna Bird.

Requesting the information was bad enough, but what I want to know is what he planned to do with the information once he received it.

Where’s a “made man” when we need one? The only way to put an end to the “Charlie’s” of the political world is to send in the man to make him a deal “he can’t refuse”!

Maybe he could investigate the city of Davenport Iowa abuse of the Public Works Neighborhood and Code Enforcement Department to target Sikh Immigrant Business Family and destroy or steal 1000s of Dollars worth of brand new Grocery Store Coolers as "illegal debris" and multiple similar actions followed by big bill.....

Maybe he could investigate Davenport Iowa City employees Chris Haut and Beth Bringolf and Rich Oswald and their role in Hate Crimes including the destruction of Native American Religious Artwork in my yard and a Holland Mold Ceramic Art Nativity Scene on My Picnic Table as intentional Hate Crimes...?

Maybe he could get the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations report into the collapse of 324 main st especially the role of Chris Haut and Beth Bringolf and Rich Oswald and Mayor Mike Mattson and Corey Spiegal and others??

Maybe he could investigate why Matthew Woolam and Shorty Matthew Houteyshell were not arrested for harbored Felony fugitive Stetson Carter when he was arrested by the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations......and all the other crimes....why they are being protected from arrests..???

I'm writing about this on my other substack "Davenport Iowa True Crime Substack " aka :to"To Prosecutor Kelly G Cunningham."

The Iowa legislature should help end the coverup of massive crimes within the Davenport City government.....some of which led directly to 324 main st Collapse and death of my friend Ryan Hitchcock and Brandon Colvin Sr and Daniel Prien.....when the building Collapsed after city employees discriminated in favor of wealthy white landlords and against black tenants and others they openly call "lowlifes."
