Sodders: It’s not too late to stop Governor Branstad from abandoning children in serious need of help
Senator comments on AFSCME legal effort to block closure of Toledo facility
“I joined this effort because Governor Branstad is abandoning Iowa children in need of serious help. I hope it will provide an objective, public review of Governor Branstad’s mismanagement of the Iowa Juvenile Home. For many years, the state of Iowa has invested in providing care for children who can’t be helped elsewhere. The goal of this lawsuit is to stop Governor Branstad’s shameful attempt to abandon that responsibility.”
