Judge Says Guv's Shutdown of Jobless Offices Unconstitutional

A Polk County judge's ruled Gov. Branstad's shutdown of 36-state unemployment offices this summer with a line item veto was unconstitutional. AFSCME, five House and Senate Democrats, filed a lawsuit in August. The Des Moines Register says the offices were replaced by hundreds of computer stations in places such as libraries and homeless shelters where Iowans can access online training, assistance in preparing for interviews and other job application services.
