Dear John,

A new state audit today revealed that Governor Branstad’s administration made 11 additional undisclosed secret settlements, bringing the taxpayer’s bill for these terminations up to $700,000.

Branstad denied that any more secret settlements existed. Jack requested that the state auditor conduct an independent audit to determine what was true. Turns out, Branstad wasn’t being truthful.

Please make a contribution of $10, $25, or $50 to our campaign and end the lies. (https://act.myngp.com/Forms/4855451435421468416)

First he claimed that hush money deals never existed. They did. “Branstad and his administration denied for weeks that any hush money payments were made until documents published online by the Register on April 8 proved otherwise.” (The Des Moines Register, 8/28/14)

Then he claimed that they had no knowledge about any of it. They did. “Top officials in Gov. Terry Branstad's administration were warned about documents showing the state paid…confidential settlement agreements.” (The Des Moines Register, 6/26/14)

The level of openness and transparency from this governor’s office is disturbing. The growing number of scandals in this state is disturbing. And the governor’s continued mismanagement of our taxpayer dollars is unforgiveable.

His attitude towards merit workers, judges, and anyone who doesn’t agree with him is a cause for concern to any Iowa wanting to be proud of their leadership. He’s acting like a bully who knows he’ll get away with it.

Let’s hold him accountable. Please contribute $10, $25, or $50 to our campaign to elect Jack as the new governor and restore integrity to Iowa government. (https://act.myngp.com/Forms/4855451435421468416)
