Black mold has forced Gov. Terry Branstad and his wife, Chris, from their upper-floor residence at the governors mansion at Terrace Hill in Des Moines, an aide confirmed today.
The Governor and First Lady are fine. They left the house upon returning from the trade trip to Brazil and Chile on Saturday, said Jenae Jenison, the governors deputy communications director. We are still awaiting final estimates, but it will most likely be at least 3 weeks before they can return. Do note, the rest of the Terrace Hill is still safe for visitors and tours.

Or maybe not. But it seems to me that a guy who wants to cut things which cost money, such as Union workers wages should go ahead and pay for the cleanup himself.

Maybe they could hire Union labor and get the job done right the first time.
