"if we were to get involved in a lawsuit or the office of civil rights would come in we could lose millions of dollars." "we are foolish if we are not taking that into consideration when we deal with this because there is going to be remification in any decision we make." students and administrators will have to wait until april to see what ruling will prevail ... if the birth certificate rule will apply, nebraska would be the only state with such a highly restrictive policy ... reporting from battle creek, nebraska ... lukas voss abc9 news. jenna: a familiar face in northeast iowa today. showing support for the person who he thinks best fits the white house. his wife. the former president made several stops in iowa including one in coralville this evening to promote hillary clinton's presidential campaign. she's on top of the democratic polls. earlier in the day, bill clinton held a campaign event in sioux city. he spoke to a packed room at morningside college's yockey family room. he shared some of his wife's plans to move the country forward.
