Branstad Rejects Drug Czar Elimination Plan

Gov Terry Branstad on Monday resisted removing Iowa’s drug policy coordinator post as part of a four year 20 million dollar state admin cuts. He cited the position’s role in administering federal drug funds strengthening forfeiture laws and directing resources to law enforcement, despite Democratic pressure to improve efficiency. Senator Murphy noted the post began as a political tool to credit Democrats for drug fighting.
