Judge dismisses case seeking to force an election on Des Moines schools’ stadium plans
Des Moines Register: A district judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to at least pause Des Moines Public Schools’ plan to build a $19.5 million stadium in partnership with Drake University. The lawsuit filed by four Des Moines residents with the Save Our Stadiums group claimed the school district’s failure to hold a special election vote on the plan “effects a total and complete disenfranchisement of the electorate” and violated the 14th Amendment and due process clause of the Constitution.
