At a public meeting yesterday, several Waterloo residents criticized the proposed school budget.

Dr. Christopher Okiishi from Meadowlark Psychiatric Services explains that severe storms in eastern Iowa can trigger anxiety and post-traumatic stress in some residents, as memories of events like the 2020 derecho linger.
