No repeat needed of Branstad as governor

In my opinion, the Branstads believe they deserve privileges that the rest of us are not entitled to. How else do you explain Mrs. Branstad's objection to the people of Iowa touring the governor's mansion, or their son, while driving on the wrong side of the road, causing an accident in which two people were killed. He was charged with a misdemeanor and fined. Anyone else would have face two counts of vehicular manslaughter.
Terry Branstad as governor encouraged corporate farms, such as DeCoster's, and contributed to illegal immigrants by backing Iowa Beef Processors, which advertised for workers along the Mexican border. We do not need a repeat of Branstad as governor.
