Branstad Expects to Win Workforce Cut Fight in Court

Gov. Branstad says he expects the state Supreme Court to uphold his veto of funding for Iowa Workforce Development offices. According to KCCI, he says it's a test of the authority of his office. Branstad used a line item veto to cut $3-million for running Workforce Development offices, and replaced them with computer terminals at libraries and other places. A Polk County judge's upheld a lawsuit claiming the Governor's action exceeded the power of his office.
