he was found walking along the road in illinois about 110 miles from the prison. jack/ots: governor branstad wants to privatize medicaid. that plan has some iowans and state senator rob hogg asking how this will benefit everyone. hogg is also the chair of the state senate oversight committee. in an email to governor branstad, hogg asks for specific details on his plan. hogg says that he and other iowans doubt that this plan will save money and on behalf of the oversight committee he is formally asking for evidence that privatizing medicaid will save the state millions of dollars. jack: local 5 asked the governor about his plan during his weekly press conference today. under the umbrella of medicaid, is a program called hawk-i. it's an option for families who need insurance for their kids. "22:48:51- why would you consider transferring the administration of that program to out of state companies? 22:49:10 branstad - we're doing what 25 other states have done. going to a manages care system to better coordinate benefits.

10:08 pm
the hawk-i board was not asked if it approves of the governor's decision to try and privatize the hawk-i program. some of the board members, including state senator janet petersen, are not happy about it. "13:03:20 i imagie most members of hte hawk-i board would say if it's not broken why fix it. i would imagie if we had an opportunity to vote on it, we'd keep the existing program as it is. " jack: there could be a legal issue here as well. the iowa attorney general is looking at whether the governor overstepped when he made the decision to privatize hawk-i without approval from the board. but none of this is a done deal, even though the out of state companies have been picked. the federal government has to give the okay on these changes. stephanie: coming up on local 5 news at 10...30 years ago, a magical moment happened at kinnick stadium--it's one fans will never forget. we'll have a hawkeye flashback to 1985. jack: but next, a dry spell and lots of wind is causing the perfect conditions for
