Branstad to offer 2015 plans in Condition of State speech

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad will lay out his 2015 budget plans in his Condition of the State address.

Branstad is scheduled to address the Iowa General Assembly on Tuesday morning. He is expected to renew support for expanding broadband Internet and cracking down on bullying, as well as offering a pledge to secure more funding for Iowa's bridges and roads, many of which are considered deteriorating or deficient.

Branstad said Monday that this would be a tight budget, noting that the state is still paying for a property tax cut and other commitments. But Branstad said enough money was available for a fair and sustainable budget.
