Branstad hints at veto over lottery advertising cuts
Gov. Terry Branstad signaled a likely veto of a budget provision cutting the Iowa Lottery advertising budget from 4 percent to 3 percent starting July 1. He defended marketing the lottery and praised Lottery Commissioner Edward Stanek while lawmakers, including Sen. Andy McKean, argued the move signals a shift in gambling oversight and raises concerns about promoting gambling to minors. Branstad noted the lottery targets adult audiences and pledged further talks with Stanek about campaign timing and content.
