12-22-14 Texas Gov. Rick Perry comes to Iowa; No-Cash Cab; Interstate baby

Texas Governor Rick Perry has hopped on the roster of politicians to attend next month’s Freedom Summit organized by district four representative Steve King…joining the likes of Sarah Palin and Donald Trump…January 24th.

A Des Moines cab driver was assaulted over the weekend for refusing to accept a torn twenty dollar bill for the fare he picked up downtown at Court Avenue and Third street. The passengers becameangry…assaulting the driver both in and out of the cab…and departing with the fare unpaid.

Iowans are still abuzz about baby Ariel…born in a van…hurtling toward Des Moines on I-80. Her dad…Danny…was driving as fast as he safely could…but not fast enough for his 7 pound…1 ounce daughter. They were met by an ambulance in the parking lot of a Casey’s near the Altoona exit and spirited to Unity Point Health.
