Wow! What a year. 2021 might not have been topsy-turvey and tumultuous as 2020 for many people, but it was still full of thrills, scares, joy and in some cases, heartbreak and hardship. It only seems appropriate that the forecast calls for single-digit, potentially record-low temperatures in the last week of the year, doesn’t it? Many went into 2021 with a positive outlook, and for many, it was a vast improvement to 2020. Students stayed in school nearly the whole year. Sports...

LINCOLN COUNTY—The total population of the United States grew by 22.7 million, or 7.4%, between 2010 and 2020, according to census data. However, that growth rate didn’t hold in Lincoln County.

DAVENPORT-The statewide process of redistricting has been confusing, bizarre and unconventional. Not so at the county level, where the proposed commissioner redistricting maps that occur every 10 years with the advent of new census data indicates just one change.

The change was brought before a public hearing at the...
