State Budget Stalemate

The Statehouse budget dispute is hardening with both parties trying to build support for their positions rather than bargaining for a compromise. Gov. Branstad says he'll start a 43-city tour to build support for a deal he reached with House GOP leaders. Branstad want's an overall budget of under $6 billion. Democrats want to spend more on schools. The state's expected to end the fiscal year with about $1 billion in reserves.
