Branstad to keep salary

Gov. Terry Branstad won't follow the lead of Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, who announced yesterday he'll lower his salary to $1 to help address a state budget shortfall. Branstad is collecting both a $130,000 salary as governor and a state pension worth more than $50,000 from his previous service in government. A spokesperson for Branstad says he's already taken a 47 percent pay cut by leaving the private sector.
