State Senate Democrats Move Ahead on Budget

The Iowa Senate's passed spending bills to pay for the departments of the judiciary, economic development, and transportation. Democrats are pushing an almost $6-billion budget package which they'll be sending to the GOP controlled house. There will be 13-spending bills in all. Gov. Branstad says the package is a step in the right direction, but there should be deeper tax cuts and changes to Medicaid funding.
