AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Insurance Fraud Crackdown: A Walcott man, Stanly Blythe, faces 24 charges after an alleged identity-theft scheme that used family members’ names and forged signatures to open policies, with investigators saying it involved at least $36,360 in premiums. Consumer Protection: The Iowa Insurance Division also revoked a Missouri producer’s license and ordered restitution after findings that she targeted retired postal workers with high-commission annuities tied to Thrift Savings Plan liquidations. Public Safety & Health: Iowa’s DNR says Lower Gar Lake has been removed from the impaired waters list, while health officials warn lead exposure still lurks in older homes and urge routine blood lead testing for young kids. Weather Watch: Forecasters warn of potent storms and flash-flood risk across parts of the Midwest and East, alongside lingering wildfire smoke and extreme heat. Iowa Events: RAGBRAI Day 3 runs Tuesday from Guthrie Center to Boone, and the Iowa Barn Foundation’s all-state barn tour returns Sept. 19-20 with 108 stops. Sports: Iowa and Kansas will meet in an Oct. 10 exhibition at the Field of Dreams.
