Gov. Branstad is a Republican, in office 1983-1999 and 2011-present. There is nothing to indicate that he had anything to do with the trooper speeding. It is common knowledge that cops rarely ticket other cops.

Well, I was doing some site surveys in IA a few years back and found that those folks in the Eastern (geographical) half to be somewhat unfriendly and 'rat like.

The folks in the Western half were true Americans.

I just figured that the Eastern half of IA rules the roost and makes the place a near ‘rat nirvana.

"State Patrol started a pursuit, but backed off when they learned the SUV was being driven by a fellow officer and Governor Terry Branstad was a passenger."

“Governor Branstand and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds said they weren’t aware of the event until Tuesday..."

I dunno. Sounds like another lying sociopath politician to me...
