(Radio Iowa) – It was once the fastest and best service available — but the 3-G network phone service is now going away. Iowa Utilities Board spokesman, Don Tormey, says you may be without service soon. “If your mobile phone is more than a few years old — you may need to upgrade your device to avoid losing service before your mobile provider shuts down its 3-G network. And that transition is beginning with some providers this month,” Tormey says.

He says the impact depends on how you see your phone. “Some consumers like to switch their phones all the time whenever they’re eligible for an upgrade. There’s others, if there’s nothing wrong with their phone they don’t want to mess with it,” he says. “If people have had their phone for more than a few years, they should really check with their provider to see if they are impacted by the 3-G transition.” Phones aren’t the only thing that might be impacted. He says if you have a medical device, tablet, smartwatch, vehicle s-o-s device, or home security system that uses 3-G service, you’ll want to check with your provider as well.

You can find out more information on the I-U-B website. He says you can also go to the F-C-C’s website. “And this transition is going to take some time — it’s not all going to happen in the month of January. It’s a phase out, so it happens over time,” Tormey says.Tormey says the phaseout is will vary by company and their timelines.

(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds will deliver the annual “Condition of the State” address tonight (Tuesday) — and she’s promised to reveal details of what she has described as a bold, yet practical plan to cut income taxes.  “Iowa is moving in the right direction and I’m — and we’re — determined to build on the progress and the momentum that we’ve seen over the last couple of years,” Reynolds says. Reynolds signed a bill into law last June that eliminates the state inheritance tax and cuts personal income tax rates. This follows income tax reductions she approved in 2018.

“Despite tax cuts and record investments, the storms, the droughts and a worldwide pandemic,” Reynolds says, “we still managed to end Fiscal Year 2021 with $1.24 billion surplus and a billion dollars in cash reserve.” Democrats say the surplus wouldn’t have been possible without the billions in federal pandemic aid from the Trump and Biden Administrations. Reynolds took over as governor in mid-2017. Since then, Reynolds notes the state has endured unprecedented events like droughts, flooding, two derechos and a pandemic.

“As we all begin 2022, I really couldn’t be more hopeful about Iowa’s future and there are many reasons for my optimism, but at the top of the list is the strength and the resilience of Iowans in the face of adversity,” Reynolds said. The governor is scheduled to deliver her “Condition of the State” address in the Iowa House shortly after 6 p.m. tonight (Tuesday).
