Branstad plan to fund psychiatric residencies in Iowa
The Gazette editorial supports Gov Branstad proposal to spend 4 million dollars on matching grants for Des Moines hospitals to establish psychiatric residency programs. It argues in-state residencies boost retention of new psychiatrists, noting data that in-state training increases lifelong Iowa practice likelihood to 75 80 percent. It cautions the plan won’t solve all mental health gaps but sees it as a solid step toward easier access to care for Iowans with serious mental illness.

Cedar Rapids casino bid blocked by Iowa gambling panel
The Cedar Rapids effort to land a casino is unlikely to succeed as the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission protects existing investments. Despite flood protection needs and poll support, market studies show Cedar Rapids would cannibalize Riverside and Isle properties, with the commission unchanged and Branstad possibly reshuffled next year.
