AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Iowa Politics & Families: Gov. Kim Reynolds says Iowa has set up a system to invest Social Security Survivor Benefits for kids in foster care, so the money is available when they turn 18. Health Care: A temporary federal ban on Medicaid reimbursements for routine care at Planned Parenthood and similar clinics has ended, restoring coverage for services like screenings and birth control (states still decide how to implement). Food Safety & Labor: A claim tied to the Taylor Farms cyclosporiasis outbreak says farm workers weren’t allowed bathroom breaks; federal inspectors previously found violations at facilities, but a review found no support for the “no breaks” allegation. Housing & Economy: Iowa’s unemployment rate holds at 3.2% statewide, and farmland values across much of the Midwest rose about 1.9% in early 2026, with Iowa the only slight dip. Cybersecurity: Chick-fil-A says loyalty accounts in 10 states, including Iowa, were hit by credential-stuffing, potentially exposing names, emails, and payment details. Local Government: Sheldon City Council may hire a consulting firm to restart its city manager search after a resignation. Sports: Johnston beat Pleasant Valley in a Class 4A state baseball quarterfinal, while Iowa’s Field of Dreams game vs. Kansas is set for this fall.
