AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Pride in Iowa City: Thousands packed downtown for the Iowa City Pride Parade and Festival, with floats, performers, and groups pushing messages like “Protect Trans Rights” and “The Library Is for Everyone,” underscoring the city’s long LGBTQ+ advocacy roots. Juneteenth in the Quad Cities: Downtown Davenport’s Juneteenth festival moved to Second Street, centering music, food, and education while organizers stressed telling the full story of American history. Education Savings Accounts fight: A Register report says Iowa ESA regulators denied an Iowa family’s application over the mother’s non-permanent visa status—even though the law focuses on state residency—raising fresh questions about how school choice is enforced. Public health & environment: A Texas investigation links Parkinson’s disease risk to pesticide exposure in the Rio Grande Valley, a reminder that farm chemicals can follow communities beyond the fields. Local listings: West Des Moines published a week of religious gathering schedules, and Iowa’s DNR flagged multiple beaches with elevated E. coli where swimming isn’t recommended.
