Branstad urges officials to cover part of health costs
Gov Terry Branstad says elected officials should pay 20 percent of state health insurance costs to lead by example. Budget talks target saving nearly 43 million by requiring $200 monthly contributions from all state employees, but unions may block changes. Branstad also backs Bill Schickel as GOP chair and dodges 2014 bid talk.
