SD gov. jokes about Iowa Gov. Branstad's speeding
• SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard poked fun at Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad on Friday, saying he didn't want the governor to get in trouble for speeding to an event in his state.
• Both governors were in Sioux Falls to dedicate South Dakota's newest state park. Daugaard told the audience that as the event's start time neared, he asked a staff member to contact Branstad's staff to inquire about his whereabouts.
• But Daugaard added he told the staff member to say "don't speed to get here."
• In April, an Iowa trooper clocked Branstad's SUV going 84 mph, but the car was not stopped after it was determined it was Branstad inside. A trooper who complained about the incident was fired on Thursday. Officials say the firing wasn't related to the speeding.
