Iowa's law enforcement officers recognize Sen. Keith Kreiman’s work for public safety
DES MOINES — State Sen. Keith Kreiman was presented with a GOLD STAR award from the Iowa State Sheriffs and Deputies Association on Feb. 3. The GOLD STAR Awards are given to no more than five individuals each year.
"Protecting Iowa citizens and keeping peace in our communities is one of the primary roles of government," says ISSDA President Curt Braby of the Louisa County Sheriffs' Office. "While we are fortunate in Iowa to have overwhelming support of public safety initiatives among our legislative delegation and state leaders, the recipients of the GOLD STAR Award have distinguished themselves by going above and beyond to respond to serious public safety and law enforcement challenges. This is a special honor that is not given lightly; it is an honor these individuals have earned through their public service."
Sen. Kreiman was honored for his leadership on several criminal justice and public safety initiatives but especially for his personal involvement in pushing for tougher laws against sexual predators with the passage of SF 340 last year.

Council to discuss ‘nuisance property’ at tonight’s meeting
"Property owners must be held accountable for the appearance of their property. Is there not an ordinance for automobiles setting idle for a period of time? The council has allowed automobile junk yards to appear one block off the square! Do we not want people to visit our town! Are we not trying to attract new businesses into the community anymore?"
