DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad will head to a Des Moines high school to sign an education reform bill into law. Branstad plans to sign the bill in the auditorium of Des Moines North High School on Monday morning. The education plan approved by the Legislature includes more basic school funding for the next two academic years, as well as increased money for districts that adopt a program to raise minimum teacher pay and offer leadership incentives. A task force will review teacher evaluations and some restrictions on home-schooling will be lifted.
Branstad made education reforms a priority of the legislative session, arguing that Iowa’s public school system has gradually fallen from among the best in the nation to middle of the pack due to years of complacency.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Russ Cochran won the Principal Charity Classic on Sunday for his fourth career Champions Tour title, closing with a 5-under 67 for a one-stroke victory over Jay Don Blake. Cochran finished at 11-under 205 at Wakonda Club. The left-hander, two strokes behind second-round leader Duffy Waldorf entering the day, broke a winless streak that stretched 35 tournaments.
Blake shot 69. He bogeyed the par-3 17th with his first three-putt of the tournament to fall a stroke behind. He had a chance to force a playoff, but his birdie try on the par-4 18th missed to the right. Waldorf had a 71 to tie for third at 9 under with Mark Calcavecchia and Kirk Triplett. Calcavecchia and Triplett shot 67.

Vogelsong broke several bones in his right hand May 20.
Belt slammed the first pitch from reliever Randy Choate into the gap in left-center to bring in Brandon Crawford and Gregor Blanco for a 4-2 lead in the seventh inning. Crawford began the rally with a single off St. Louis rookie Tyler Lyons (2-1).

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A legislative compromise has been struck on low-income health care, but now Iowa starts the complicated process of putting the plan in place. On Monday the state will kick off a series of public hearings to explain the proposed health care plan recently approved by lawmakers. The hearings are a step the state must go through to get federal approval.
But after the dramatic debate during the legislative session, these hearings are likely to stir up little controversy. State Sen. Jack Hatch, a Des Moines Democrat who advocated for Medicaid expansion, says he expects limited criticism. He says, “I think everybody is going to be supportive.” Under the plan, the state will seek federal funding offered to states that expand Medicaid to provide benefits to low-income residents.
