Niko tarjoaa olkapäänsä Ekille hädän hetkellä. Onko niin että Niko auttaa omilla puheillaan kaikkia muita, mutta jääkin lopulta itse ilman?

Multiple listeners recently sent in a Financial Times article that asks whether humans have passed “peak intelligence.” In this episode, Cal looks closer at the data in this article to try to understand why we seem to be getting dumber, and more importantly, what are the practical steps individuals can take to avoid the trend. He then answers listener questions and ends with a tech corner segment that highlights a blind spot in current discussions of AI. Find out more about Done Daily at DoneDaily.com!

The best story of the weekend occurred at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia as President Trump decided to stay two matches longer than planned to see "the big guy" shock with world in one of the biggest upsets ever. The wrestler, Wyatt Hendrickson, is a Kansan in the Air Force wrestling for Oklahoma State and he and Trump seem to have quite a bond. You have to hear this story. Some are calling this the worst NCAA Tourney of all time as there are no Cinderellas an no buzzer beaters. That means all the attention is about the coaches and we've got three very different coaches stories for you. We lost the great Bob Davis on Friday, one week after his wife died. This is more than a story about a legendary broadcaster as we remember Davis for all he was. Tiger Woods says "love is in the air" as he announces he's officially with Vanessa Trump, Don Jr's ex. If you think Tiger has quite the dating history, wait until you hear about Vanessa's bingo card. It's just incredible. Bill Maher blasts Dems for getting simple things wrong, the mayor of Liberty, Missouri plays the KKK card on his opponent and Independence no longer has a single outdoor swimming pool.
Pick your history. Which of four stories taking place Tuesday is the one you focused in on most. Elon got the astronauts home with a mission commanded by a Kansan, Trump spoke with Putin to end a war and judges and media continue to fight to bring violent criminals back to America. It was such a wild day, if you can even imagine, the release of 80,000 files on the JFK assassination took a back seat. We are living through history folks. One of the afternoon co-hosts on KMBZ's afternoon Seinfeld radio show (a show about nothing) that has really high ratings is an embarrassment to the medium. Over and over she says she doesn't want to get political but even as the astronauts were safely coming home she called Elon Musk "an idiot" and a "racist" that's unhinged. Just be honest with your listeners and respect radio please. Chuck Schumer didn't stick his foot in his mouth on the View, he really believes the stupid things he says. Taylor Swift inspired Trav to keep playing. The Royals are all in on all blue unis and baked goods. KU and MU arrive for the NCAA Tourney first round and Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here to go over the brackets and give you a few point spread freebies.
Modern knowledge work jobs should be cushy gigs. Fixed hours, air conditioning, no hard manual labor, flexibility. So why are we so often burnt out and what can we do about this reality? In this episode, Cal draws a lesson from an unexpected corner of computer science, computer security research, about how we can fix some of the big problems of work in a digital age. He then answers listener questions and returns once again to the topic of AI in a final tech corner segment. Find out more about Done Daily at DoneDaily.com!

In this episode of the Kansas Canopy Podcast, guestRyan Armbrust, the Rural Forestry Program Coordinator, takes us on a captivating journey through Kansas' surprising and often overlooked history of trees. From the fossilized hackberry leaves that date back millions of years to the stories of early settlers navigating the state's changing landscapes, Ryan uncovers the deep-rooted connection between trees and the history of the land. He reveals unexpected tales, like how Texas invaded Kansas in 1843 and how steamboats once relied on the Arkansas River. Whether you're a longtime Kansan or new to the state, Ryan's insights will leave you with a fresh perspective on how trees have shaped the evolution of Kansas.

Lehdistökatsauksessa käydään läpi Hamasin pysyvyyttä, maanpuolustuskurssia lobbausefforttina, tekoälykauhistelua, Suomen työttömyyttä ja Trumpin mahdollista kolmatta presidenttikautta. Veikan kuuluminen: Järkeä kaivataan takaisin politiikkaan ja tunteita halutaan vääntää pienemmälle. Tämä on mielekästä siltä osin kuin puhutaan tunteessa jumittamisesta ilman yhteiskunnallista analyysia. Järkeä ei kuitenkaan ole ilman tunteellista työntövoimaa, ja järkevintäkin väittelijää yleensä ajaa voimakas lataus ja voitonhalu. Pontuksen kuuluminen: Viime jakson palautteissa korostui vasemmiston sisäisten vaatimusten kohtuuttomuus. Miten kukaan voi tehdä mitään, jos pelkää omilta tulevaa paskamyrskyä, jonka voi laukaista pienikin virhe tai laiminlyönti? Veikan vaiva: Woke-kritiikki muuttui järjettömäksi viimeistään, kun maailman voimakkaimman valtion päämies alkoi käyttää sitä transihmisten vainoamiseen ja siirtolaisten karkottamiseen. Mikä kaikki on muuttunut siitä ajasta, kun identitäärinen liberaali nettiaktivismi oli valtavirtainen kieli myös Suomen vasemmistossa? Entä oliko todella woken syytä, että Trump voitti?

Pontuksen kuuluminen: Miksi entistä idolia vastaan on niin helppo kääntyä? Ensimmäinen selitys on transferenssista eli tunteensiirrosta seuraava isänmurha. Omat fantasiat projisoidaan ihannoituun kohteeseen, mistä seuraa myöhemmin tarve tuhota isähahmo, jotta voisi itsenäistyä. Hieman jalostuneempi selitys voisi olla kiitollisuudenvelan sietämättömyys, joka on tyypillistä erityisesti miehille. Kolmas, laajempi selitys on kulttuurinen vaatimus esittää itsensä valmiina, osaavana ja itseriittoisena, ilman vaikutteita tai menneisyyden noloa haparointia. Veikan kuuluminen: Flunssatunnelissa kuukauden viettäneenä tulee kysyneeksi, palaanko enää toimintakykyiseksi. Samalla huomaa, miten hauras on ihmisen kokemus “normaalista” toimintakyvystä. Pystyvyyteen tottuneiden ihmisten olisikin välillä hyvä vähän sairastaa ja tarkastella yhteiskuntaa vaihtelevan toimintakyvyn näkökulmasta. Pontuksen vaiva: Berghain on mahdollisesti viimeinen millenniaaliutopia, eksklusiivinen tila, johon kuuluu lupaus kielletyistä nautinnoista ja itsensä kadottamisesta. Se on Elon Muskista vapaa vyöhyke, johon jonottamista on ehdotettu metaforaksi koko nykytaidemaailmalle. Berghainin legendaarisuus liittyy myös siihen, että paikasta on vain vähän visuaalista “todistusta”: maine perustuu suulliseen legendan heittämiseen. Mitä tämä kertoo haluistamme laajemmin? Entä mitä tapahtuu intensiteetin jälkeen? Veikan vaiva: Queen of Fucking Everything -sarjaa on ylistetty, mutta miten luokka esitetään sarjassa? Erottuu kaksi luokan valottamisen tapaa. Ensimmäinen on kliseinen ja ulkoisiin tunnusmerkkeihin ripustautuva, toinen taas kuvaa ihmisten jatkuvaa seilaamista yhteiskunnallisista asemista toiseen, palkkatyöstä velkaan, mielenterveysongelmiin, syrjäytymiseen, yrittämiseen ja harmaaseen talouteen.

As we approach the most consequential election of our lifetime, this episode of The Delve tackles one of the most critical issues on the ballot—abortion rights. With maternal mortality rates soaring in states with restrictive abortion laws, Chalin is joined by Head of Production Madison to dive into the tragic real-world impact of these policies, highlighting the stories of women like Brittany Watts and Amber Thurman, whose lives were irrevocably affected. We are honored to be joined by Kansas State Representative Jo Ella Hoye and fellow Kansan political superhero, Helena Buchmann, to discuss the Kansas abortion referendum and the power of voting to protect reproductive rights. Tune in as we explore how the battle over abortion laws is shaping the future of America.
Seen from an airplane, much of the United States appears to be a gridded land of startling uniformity. Perpendicular streets and rectangular fields, all precisely measured and perfectly aligned, turn both urban and rural America into a checkerboard landscape that stretches from horizon to horizon. In evidence throughout the country, but especially the West, the pattern is a hallmark of American life. One might consider it an administrative convenience—an easy way to divide land and lay down streets—but it is not. The colossal grid carved into the North American continent, argues historian and writer Dr. Amir Alexander, is a plan redolent with philosophical and political meaning. In 1784 Thomas Jefferson presented Congress with an audacious scheme to reshape the territory of the young United States. All western lands, he proposed, would be inscribed with a single rectilinear grid, transforming the natural landscape into a mathematical one. Following Isaac Newton and John Locke, he viewed mathematical space as a blank slate on which anything is possible and where new Americans, acting freely, could find liberty. And if the real America, with its diverse landscapes and rich human history, did not match his vision, then it must be made to match it. From the halls of Congress to the open prairies, and from the fight against George III to the Trail of Tears, Liberty's Grid: A Founding Father, a Mathematical Dreamland, and the Shaping of America (University of Chicago Press, 2024) tells the story of the battle between grid makers and their opponents. When Congress endorsed Jefferson's plan, it set off a struggle over American space that has not subsided. Transcendentalists, urban reformers, and conservationists saw the grid not as a place of possibility but as an artificial imposition that crushed the human spirit. Today, the ideas Jefferson associated with the grid still echo through political rhetoric about the country's founding, and competing visions for the nation are visible from Manhattan avenues and Kansan pastures to Yosemite's cliffs and suburbia's cul-de-sacs. An engrossing read, Liberty's Grid offers a powerful look at the ideological conflict written on the landscape. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In 1784 Thomas Jefferson presented Congress with an audacious scheme to reshape the territory of the young United States. All western lands, he proposed, would be inscribed with a single rectilinear grid, transforming the natural landscape into a mathematical one. Following Isaac Newton and John Locke, he viewed mathematical space as a blank slate on which anything is possible and where new Americans, acting freely, could find liberty. And if the real America, with its diverse landscapes and rich human history, did not match his vision, then it must be made to match it. From the halls of Congress to the open prairies, and from the fight against George III to the Trail of Tears, Liberty's Grid: A Founding Father, a Mathematical Dreamland, and the Shaping of America (University of Chicago Press, 2024) tells the story of the battle between grid makers and their opponents. When Congress endorsed Jefferson's plan, it set off a struggle over American space that has not subsided. Transcendentalists, urban reformers, and conservationists saw the grid not as a place of possibility but as an artificial imposition that crushed the human spirit. Today, the ideas Jefferson associated with the grid still echo through political rhetoric about the country's founding, and competing visions for the nation are visible from Manhattan avenues and Kansan pastures to Yosemite's cliffs and suburbia's cul-de-sacs. An engrossing read, Liberty's Grid offers a powerful look at the ideological conflict written on the landscape. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Seen from an airplane, much of the United States appears to be a gridded land of startling uniformity. Perpendicular streets and rectangular fields, all precisely measured and perfectly aligned, turn both urban and rural America into a checkerboard landscape that stretches from horizon to horizon. In evidence throughout the country, but especially the West, the pattern is a hallmark of American life.

Summary No guest today in what is my first episode of the new year. I promise no New Year's resolutions except one: to read and digest as many books as I can during the year. Given my interest in books, I was curious to know what some of my colleagues, friends, and family members will read in 2024. So, I contacted more than 40 of them, asking them for a brief bio, their book of choice, and why that title might find its way to their nightstand. I thought that maybe I'd hear from a few, but that many might be too busy to respond, given the fast-approaching holiday. Their responses poured in: Jesse Kohler is the President and Chair of The Change Campaign and also serves as Executive Director of the Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice. Going to read Preventing and Healing Climate Traumas: A Guide to Building Resilience and Hope in Communities by Bob Doppelt. Because the climate crisis is widely traumatizing. Promoting support across our society to work through it together is one of the most critical callings of our time. Paul McNicholls is a lay historian and author. Going to read Victory to Defeat: The British Army 1918–40 by Richard Dannatt and Robert Lyman. Because what happened to the British Army between the First and Second World Wars explains why they were summarily defeated by the Germans and had to be evacuated from the beaches at Dunkirk in 1940. Frank Zaccari is a best-selling author and CEO of Life Altering Events, LLC. Going to read The Passion Test by Janet and Chris Attwood. Because over my long time on the planet, my passion – or what I thought was my passion – has changed many times. Now, in my semi-retirement, this book will help me focus on finding my next passion where I can make a difference. Neil C. Hughes is a freelance technology journalist, podcast host and engineer, and the producer of "Tech Talks Daily" and "Tech Fusion" by Citrix Ready. Going to read Freedom to Think: Protecting a Fundamental Human Right in the Digital Age by Susie Alegr. Because this title will deepen my understanding of the intersection between technology, privacy, and human rights in the digital age. Melissa Hughes, Ph.D. is a neuroscience researcher, speaker, and author of Happy Hour with Einstein and Happier Hour with Einstein: Another Round. Going to read Misbelief by Dan Ariely. Because the human brain is so incredible and so incredibly flawed (and because I read everything that Dan Ariely writes!) And Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things by Adam Grant. Because we all have hidden potential begging to be discovered. Valerie Gordon is a former Emmy-winning television producer who brings the Art of Storytelling for Impact and Influence to audiences and corporate leaders. Going to read Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things by Adam Grant. Because I found his previous works to be insightful and helpful in my business as well as in meeting my own goals. I recommend it to anyone interested in the human mind and its impact on realizing our potential. Rich Gassen is a print production manager at UW-Madison and also leads a community of practice for supervisors where we explore topics on leadership and staff development. Going to read Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things by Adam Grant. Because I have always sought to improve myself and those around me to achieve more through better processes, incorporating efficiencies, and harnessing strengths. I feel that this book will bring me to another level in being able to do that. Sarah Elkins is a StrengthFinder coach and story consultant, keynote speaker, podcast host, and the author of Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will. Going to read Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson. Because I've become especially sensitive to representation over the past few years, and I talk about wanting to support all people. Reading a book by a person of color and understanding her back story is one way to help me do that. Diane Wyzga is a global podcaster, a story expert who helps clients clarify ideas and amplify messaging, and a hiker – who walks the talk. Going to read The Perfection Trap - Embracing the Power of Good Enough by Thomas Curran. Because as I've become aware of our culture's dangerous obsession with perfection, I want to learn to step away from my own focus on it. Bill Whiteside is a retired software salesman who is now writing a book about Winston Churchill and a little-known event from World War II. Going to read Larry McMurtry: A Life by Tracy Daugherty. Because after spending the past five years researching my book with my nose in books about Britain and France in 1940, it's going to be refreshing to read just for fun once again. McMurtry's personality and career as a bookstore owner and a highly regarded author – “Lonesome Dove," “The Last Picture Show” and “Terms of Endearment” – fascinate me. Mark Reid is a maker of traditional handmade Japanese paper and host of the Zen Sammich podcast. Going to read The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham. Because the main character's internal moral challenges and the battle with societal expectations are compelling for me to read about and contemplate. Mark O'Brien is the founder and principal of O'Brien Communications Group, a B2B brand-management and marketing-communications firm, and host of The Anxious Voyage, a syndicated radio show about life's trials and triumphs. Going to read Lyrical and Critical Essays by Albert Camus. Because as a longtime fan of Camus' existential work, I look forward to stretching my thick Irish noggin to let in a tad more light – as I always try to do. Hope Blecher is an educational consultant and the founder of Hope's Compass, www.HopesCompass.org, a non-profit that helps members of the community and visitors to interact with survivors of the Holocaust and children of survivors through arts, music, poetry, prose, and more. Going to (re)read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exuperty. Because I experience something new each time I read it. And Art Matters: Because Your Imagination Can Change the World by Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell. Because I'm curious about what these authors will say that will help me continue on my own pathway of exploring art. Christine Mason is the Cultivating Resilience podcast co-host, educational psychologist researcher, entrepreneur, and yoga instructor/mindfulness coach. Going to read From Beirut to Jerusalem by Thomas L. Friedman. Because Friedman knows the region exceptionally well, this book will provide me with a greater understanding of the underlying regional and religious tensions and conflicts and also prepare me to lead others in a deeper discussion toward a potential resolution and peace. Tammy Hader is a retired accountant, a lifetime Kansan, a storyteller, a caregiver, and an author. (See above.) Going to read Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam. Because our relationships – our social capital – continue to be degraded in the current environment, so I want to study it, defend against it, and learn how to shift myself and my community into improved connections. Cindy House is the author of Mother Noise, a memoir about her recovery from addiction. She is a regular opener for David Sedaris on his book lecture circuit. She is also my memoir instructor. Going to read Art Monster: Unruly Bodies in Feminist Art by Lauren Elkin. Because the book looks at women artists and their work as a reaction against the patriarchy. In these days of watching the GOP war against women, it seems especially important as a woman in the arts to consider how my work can be a protest against extreme political positions. Susan Rooks – the Grammar Goddess – is an editor/proofreader who helps nonfiction/business content authors of books/blogs/websites and podcasters and their episode transcriptions look and sound as smart as they are. Going to read Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia, MD. Because as I age, I'm interested in doing everything I can to stay alive in a healthy manner. Steve Ehrlich is a lifelong educator and has an equally long-standing calling in fly fishing. He combines those two loves in classes on the lessons of fly fishing and its treasured literature for personal and professional growth, renewal and healing, and social change. Going to read An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us by Ed Yong. Because I've always been intrigued by the interconnectedness of things, especially the things we can't fully understand. Such a mystery is at the heart of this book, which is about how animals are connected to one another in so many ways and in a manner that most of us have difficulty comprehending. Annette Taylor is a rogue researcher of evolutionary psychology. Going to finish We Are Electric by Sally Adee – but doing so scares me... Because it seems like the author is justifying our “merging” with AI or at least romanticizing our ever increasing entanglements with technology. And since I like to simplify life using a cave-dweller perspective, this idea freaks me out. Leon Ikler is a commercial photographer primarily shooting tabletop and small room scenes in the studio along with a mix of location work. Going to read Democracy Awakening by Heather Cox Richardson. Because in these contentious times with the nation so divided, I like how she frames today's issues against what has taken place in the past. I feel it is essential to know our history so we can try to avoid making the same mistakes again. Rita Grant is a former award-winning video producer. Going to reread The United States of Arugula by David Kamp. Because it's a great reminder of how our current American culinary landscape was created. I'm ending with Rita because she also sent in another suggestion. Not a book, but a song – "You Can't Take That Away From Me," sung by the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald. As Rita noted, "The lyrics will stand the test of time. They're a testament to what we hold in our hearts and imagination that can never be taken from us."

In this episode, AJ interviews Dr. Kaye Monk-Morgan and Shaun Rojas of the Kansas Leadership Center (KLC) where Kaye is the President and CEO, and Shaun is the Senior Director of Civic Engagement. Their discussion emphasizes the importance of building a culture of civic leadership and engaging with community members to address their concerns and build stronger, healthier, and more prosperous communities. The conversation also touches on the idea that leadership is an activity rather than a title or position, and the need to develop skills and engage in activities that promote leadership.

And Missouri should see $1.7 billion of that money. Alabama is set to get about $1.4 billionArkansas just over $1 billionIndiana more than $850 millionKansas over $450,000Iowa over $400,00According to administration estimates some 24 million folks are without high speed internet access to their homes, many of which are located in the areas largely represented by and governed by Republican members of congress like Jason Smith in the Missouri 8th District one of the single most impoverished districts in America. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, noted Federal money glut who pretends to hate the government for political points said that the money will “greatly assist our ongoing investments in Missouri's broadband infrastructure”This comes as part of the Biden administrations “Internet For all” initiative. “What we're doing is, as I said, not unlike what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did when he brought electricity to nearly every American home and farm in our nation. Today (Vice President) Kamala (Harris) and I are making an equally historic investment to connect everyone in America to high speed internet, and affordable high speed internet, by 2030,”So far none of the Republican governors have denounced this redistribution of wealth as a massive government overreach or bloated spending. Wonder why? https://missouriindependent.com/2023/06/27/white-house-unveils-42-5b-to-connect-every-american-to-high-speed-broadband-internet/https://arkansasadvocate.com/2023/06/26/white-house-unveils-42-5b-to-connect-every-american-to-high-speed-broadband-internet/LIBRARY MEETING DRAWS A CROWDMore than 350 people crowded into a St. Charles County library board meeting Tuesday night, in Missouri, a new chapter in a fight about a library employee's clothing choices.The heated meeting included three hours of public comment, centered on a woman's complaint that when she visited a branch of the Library, an unnamed worker was wearing makeup, nail polish and also had… (gasp) a goatee. LGBTQ supporters were swift to push back on the woman's complaints, and they showed up in droves Tuesday night to counter complaints by the woman and her supporters.Some say the employee is dressing like a stripper, and only appropriate for night clubs. The public comment portion of the meeting lasted three hours before the board decided to end comment and allow others to simply email their diatribes. Sadie Anderson, who described themselves as being the partner of the library staff member, urged the library board to continue to support the employee.“My partner is having to do something that no person on earth should have to do, they are having to fight for their mere right to exist,” Anderson said. “My partner, myself, and every single person in this room should be able to express themselves and feel comfortable in the clothing they choose and wear those clothes without fear of ridicule. It is as simple as that.”https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/stcharles/more-than-350-people-pack-st-charles-library-meeting-in-fight-over-dress-code-lgbtq/article_363f3d66-1069-11ee-afd9-a7e1bfb0bc7d.htmlKANSAS VOTING RIGHTS CASE GOES SUPREMENo, they didn't add sour cream and tomatoes - but the Kansas election law from 2021 is being challenged in court and it's headed to the Kansas state supreme courtto review portions of a voting rights lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of mandates created in 2021 in response to election fraud conspiracy theories - all of which were lies.The question is whether Kansans' right to vote is undermined by state law restricting the number of advance ballots a person can deliver to an election office and the new state law requiring election volunteers to verify signatures on advance ballots.The plaintiffs challenging the laws filed have asked for an injunction during the pendency of the case.Davis Hammet with Loud Light, one of the groups involved in the case. said “It should be concerning to every Kansan, the idea that you do everything right, and then the state just alleges that someone didn't think your signature match so your vote isn't counted.”The law also created new penalties for touching somebody else's ballot, distributing ballots or altering the postmark on an advanced ballot. Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed both bills, but was overridden.So if you're in Kansas, keep your hands and arms inside the voting booth at all times.Wisconsin Elections Commission Still Impacted By Trump's Big LieThe Wisconsin Elections Commission failed to reappoint administrator Meagan Wolfe in a vote Tuesday that three Democratic commission members are banking on to protect her from a Senate confirmation process - Wolfe is expected to lose a confirmation vote. Democrats argued a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling in 2022 allows Wolfe to remain in the seat indefinitely — defying the efforts of election deniers to oust her after falsely accusing her of helping to steal the 2020 election, a claim that has been shown to have no merit, and is simply put: Not true.Before the “Big Lie” of 2020, Wolfe was unanimously endorsed by the commission for the administrator's job in 2019 and confirmed by the Republican majority in the Senate. It appears that while she was qualified to do the job prior, the only change is that she told the truth in 2020 which made former President and current federal indictment facer, Donald Trump, grumpy.Biden won Wisconsin by over 20,000 votes but that didn't stop Trump and his supporters from attacking Wolfe, who again was confirmed by a republican state senate, and claiming that she was a secret democrat or Biden agent, among other baseless attacks.Earlier this month, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on a campaign by some Republican state senators against confirming Wolfe for another term. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/06/28/election-commission-fails-to-reappoint-wolfe-in-maneuver-to-keep-her-on-the-job/Iowa Governor Costs Taxpayers For Keeping SecretsThe Polk County District Court approved an agreement between the governor's office and three Iowa journalists and their media organizations following the Supreme Court's decision allowing an open records lawsuit to proceed in April.The Governor's office agreed to pay $135,000 (of tax payer money) in legal fees and costs incurred during the legal battle, as well as agreeing to undergo a one-year period of judicial oversight in regard to open records requests by the plaintiffs to ensure the office continues to comply with the state Open Records Act. In other words, Iowans will also be paying for judges to babysit the Governor's office because they can't play nice. Thomas Story, an attorney for the ACLU of Iowa, said:“Throughout this litigation, we have emphasized one crucial point: that nobody is above the law,” “The Iowa Supreme Court reinforced that point and set valuable precedent that supports the right of all Iowans to a transparent, responsive government at every level.”https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2023/06/26/district-court-approves-settlement-in-open-records-lawsuit-against-governor/Missouri Independent, Arkansas Advocate, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Kansas Reflector, Wisconsin Examinor, and Iowa Capital Dispatch
