PM
Every year that California has budget trouble
-- basically the last 10 -- another state licks
its lips and boasts how it will reap the benefits
as businesses and residents flee the Golden State.
These poachers are usually more conservative southwestern
states like Arizona or longtime California rival
Texas. So, um, add Iowa to the list. That's right,
Iowa, land of snow, farms, presidential caucuses
and ... snow. In an interview with The Times, the
state's Republican governor, Terry Branstad, boasted
how he balanced the state's budget without raising
taxes .................................more

out the tuition increase," Dan Dooley, a senior
vice president with UC, told the regents at an unusual
one-day meeting in Sacramento to call attention
to their three days of lobbying lawmakers alongside
student leaders.........more
