COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Two thousand people — including 400 children — are on a waitlist at a single dental clinic in Council Bluffs; local healthcare professionals say Iowa's Medicaid reimbursement rates, and a shortage of providers, can force neighbors to drive hours to get care in western Iowa. "The need here in the southwestern part of Iowa is just overwhelming," said Joel Dougherty, CEO of All Care Health Center. The nonprofit is breaking ground on a new dental facility that will more than double the number of patients it can serve — up to 8,000 neighbors. "You can leave Minnesota, on the western half of this state, and if you don't stop here you're going to get all the way to the Missouri Border without finding someone who takes adult Medicaid patients, which is just unacceptable," Dougherty said. The waiting lists for children are long, too, according to Council Bluffs Community School District's lead nurse, Shawna Dunn.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Council Bluffs neighbor Carly Sorensen has spina bifida — the same condition that future U.S. Senator Josh Turek has. For her, his election to the U.S. Senate feels personal. KMTV first interviewed the Sorensen family nearly three years ago about Turek's impact on disability visibility. Carly Sorensen, 24, has known Turek pretty much her whole life. When she was a child, her family met Turek through the larger spina bifida support system in Council Bluffs. "Josh is a really great guy, He's fun. He's fun to be around," Carly said. Her mom, Megan Sorensen, says that given the close race, she tried not to get her hopes up for their friend. "And then you start realizing it probably is going to happen. It's indescribable," Megan said. They talked with the lawmaker often in 2023 and 2024, when Turek tried to get Medicaid reform through the Iowa legislature.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Early voting is surging in Pottawattamie County, and a local election official says it's because of two high-profile races at the top of the ballot. County Auditor Mary Ann Hanusa says 10,200 neighbors had cast absentee ballots by the end of the day on Saturday — on track to double the number from four years ago. "For the first time since 1968, Iowa has an open US Senate seat and an open governor's race at the same time," Hanusa said. "Yeah, it was definitely the governor's race and the senate race in Iowa," said Sarah Beth Ray. "My party's asking me to get out and vote so that's what I'm going to do," Kenneth Toms said. "And it's the first time that I can recall that it's pretty close to evenly split, so that really ups the stakes of coming out to vote," James Ray said. Council Bluffs Republican Mark Ford attended a rally for Council Bluffs native — and Democrat — Josh Turek on Sunday.

The Briefing: Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek spent the final hours before Iowa's November 3 election in Council Bluffs, his hometown, closing a campaign that could reshape control of the U.S. Senate. Turek and Republican Ashley Hinson are deadlocked in the polling average, with forecasters rating the race a toss-up heading into Election Day. A Turek victory would end an 18-year Democratic drought in Iowa Senate contests and give the party a critical building block toward reclaiming the Senate majority. A Homecoming on the Final Day Josh Turek spent the last full day before the election exactly where his political story began: knocking doors in Council Bluffs. The western Iowa city anchored his closing "At the Buzzer Tour" on Monday — the final day of early voting statewide — before he swept east across Iowa for a last round of rallies ahead of Tuesday's election. The choice was both strategic and symbolic.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — A retired Council Bluffs school teacher who was trying to understand why her Medicare supplemental premium jumped by more than $250 now has an answer — and relief — after her insurance company reversed the increase. "The story aired on Wednesday and I was called on Friday," Frederiksen said. Geri Frederiksen had a big problem. Her insurance company, Mutual of Omaha, told her the premium for her Medicare supplemental insurance was increasing. But then came a letter with good news. "….We discovered that we made an error and your premium should not have increased from $468.83 to $726.03," Frederiksen read from an email. Her new premium is $515 per month — an increase of $46. Asked how she felt when she got that call, she said, "Oh, my goodness. The relief — happy — it was such a weight lifted. Yes, I was thrilled." Frederiksen wasn't alone. Mutual of Omaha says it identified a system issue that resulted in an incorrect premium adjustment for 92 Iowans.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Council Bluffs missed out on $4.3 million in revenue from Google in 2024 because of an old utilities ordinance that Mayor Jill Shudak says wasn't even legal. At the mayor's town hall Thursday, neighbors also expressed concerns with the city's management of a 2009 tax abatement for the tech giant. UTILITIES FRANCHISE FEE Everyone who buys electricity pays a franchise fee. That fee, the mayor explained, goes to the city for the use of its land for things such as power lines. Shudak says the fee is supposed to be the same for everyone, but that wasn't the case. "Google's rate was held at 2% no matter what everyone else paid," Shudak said. She says the city's outside counsel determined the 2011 ordinance, which created the carve-out for Google, is not allowed under Iowa law. It was recently corrected by the city council. "Lifting that cap means one rule for everyone," Shudak said.

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter It's one of the bigger cities in the state, but it used to be called something completely different. In fact, it was actually founded by... Pilgrims? I know what you're thinking. The Pilgrims (the ones you learned about in grade school) weren't anywhere close to Iowa when they set up shop in what would one day become the United States, right? And that's absolutely correct. But... those weren't the only pilgrims in history in search for a better life. These pilgrims came a few centuries later, and they were also looking for a better life, but just so happened to be passing through the state of Iowa along the way. In doing so, some of them set up shop in the far-western part of the state and founded a small town of Kanesville. The town of Kanesville no longer exists because it would later change its name to Council Bluffs. And those who call that area "home" can thank the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for the town's existence.
