Branstad vetoes pullout of family planning units
Gov. Terry Branstad blocks three Iowa family planning agencies from leaving the state program run by the Department of Health. He vetoed a budget provision that would have let the private Family Planning Council of Iowa administer federal funds for Sioux City Dubuque and Burlington area agencies. The move preserves continuity, cites contract history, and maintains rural and low income service considerations while leaving intact the for profit ban on elderly care contracts. The measure budgets 1.2 million for the Aging Commission 2.9 million for Substance Abuse and 16.3 million for Health.
