Amazing amounts of rain fell in very small areas again tonight. The northern counties were hit hard with over 5 inches of rainfall reported just north of Emmetsburg. There was also a severe thunderstorm warning for Palo Alto and Pocahontas Counties.

There will be more strong thunderstorms Sunday night and Monday morning. It will be interesting to see if the early Sunday storms over western Iowa will take away some of the storm’s steam by the time the storms move into central Iowa Sunday.

A special investigation by the State Auditor’s Office has turned up more than $90,000 in overbilling by Indianola’s city attorney.

The report shows John Hoyman, who also represented Indianola Municipal Utilities, overbilled for his services between 2006 and 2012.

Hoyman was hired by the city in 1986.

During an interview with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Hoyman admitted to falsifying monthly invoices to the city for prosecution services. He claims though the hours on individual invoices were inflated, he provided an equivalent amount of legal services for the city.

Hoyman was suspended from both positions at the end of August of last year.

The report has been turned over to several law enforcement agencies as well as the Warren County Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges.
