GRASSLEY AND JUDGE DEBATE FOR FINAL TIME
Late Friday afternoon Republican Senator Chuck Grassley and Patty Judge, his Democratic opponent, met in their second — and final — debate of the campaign. Grassley is a six-term senator. Judge is a former Iowa lieutenant governor.
The live, hour-long debate was hosted by WHO Radio and also broadcast live from 4-5 p.m. on WHO TV. During the discussion, Grassley repeated his assessment that the Affordable Care Act is a “disaster.”
Judge defended the Affordable Care Act, calling it a “big step” that help reduce the number of uninsured Americans and had ended discrimination against people with preexisting conditions.
The candidates also discussed water quality, Social Security reform and college debt relief. They began by addressing this week’s ambush of two policemen in the Des Moines metro.
Both expressed sympathy for the families and colleagues of the murdered officers. Judge said the case shows it’s time for careful scrutiny of gun laws. Grassley said in other, recent mass shootings, the suspect was found to have mental health issues and Grassley called for additional federal spending on mental health services.
Endangered Black Rhino At Iowa Zoo
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The public can now see an endangered black rhino born last month at Des Moines’ Blank Park Zoo. The calf went on exhibit Friday.
Zoo CEO Mark Vukovich says the as-yet unnamed calf went on display sooner than expected due to good care of the baby rhino by its mother and zookeepers.
Since being born on Oct. 11, the baby has had her first bath and gained about 50 pounds. She now weighs about 130 pounds.
The calf will be getting a name in the coming months. Beginning Nov. 29 everyone who gives at least $50 to the zoo through Dec. 31 can suggest a name. The name will picked from those suggestions and announced in January.
