Vermont Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders wrapped up his latest swing across Iowa last night.
He spoke to a crowd of a few hundred last night at the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City.
“Tragically instead of seeing good paying jobs, education and health care coming to our rural communities, we are far too often seeing despair, depression and people losing hope.
Sanders repeated common themes like Medicare for all and investing in rural America.
Sanders credits Iowa for launching his political revolution four-years ago. He says his ideas were seen then as radical, but now people are embracing them.
Sanders stopped in several other cities, including Spencer.
Warren Buffett says it's hard to know how a trade war between China and the United States would impact the economy if President Donald Trump follows through on his latest tariff threat because so many other countries are affected.
Buffett made the comment after holding his annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting over the weekend in Omaha.
Trump said over the weekend that he may impose 25 percent tariffs on more Chinese imports.
Buffett says Trump is making a threat that may bring the Chinese to the table. But it's impossible to predict the outcome because both countries' leaders are used to getting their way.
And, over the weekend the Rose Hill neighborhood gained a new playground with a splash pad.
The park is dedicated to firefighters and opened on International Firefighters’ Day on Saturday.
That’s Sioux City Mayor Pro Tem and council member Dan Moore.
“It was a lot of teamwork that came into this to make it what it is today. And, it just is, isn’t it just a beautiful park?”
The park is located just north of the existing Rose Hill Park near 14thand Grandview Boulevard.
This is the fifth splash pad in Sioux City.
