[applause] governor reynolds: ok. mr. president, mr. speaker, lieutenant governor, legislative leaders and members, justices and judges, my fellow iowaans. two years ago some people were living in california but they were looking for something else. something away from the hustle and bustle, the crowded highways and high cost of living. they had visited the city of elkhorn in shelby county and fallen in love with it. so when a restaurant came up for sale, they made the leap and put their faith in iowa. they bought an acreage outside of town, packed their belongings, and began to build a life and introduce themselves and their two daughters to the community. they opened their restaurant in march of 2020. and you all know what came next. but the mullers quickly realized that the iowa way of lif

[applause] two years ago, about the time the mullers were moving to iowa, i stood here before you at the beginning of the new decade. i talked about how far we've come in 10 years. about how we'd gone from a time when families lost their life savings, iowaans lost their jobs, and our state government lost control of its budget. to a time of record low unemployment, a budget surplus, and record investments in k12 education -- k-12 education. but most important, i talked about a vision for our future. about the need to be bold. to show the world that iowa truly is the state of opportunity. the pandemic delayed some of our efforts, but it certainly didn't change our direction. in the last eight months alone, we've invested $300 million more in broadband, strengthened funding for mental

frederick law olmsted senior was offered the iowa agricultural college. agricultural college predated the 1862 moral land-grant act but it provided a major stimulus for each state to establish an institution devoted to teaching and what we will call engineering. in itself black citizens were denied access to the land-grant colleges prompting their champion vermont senator justin smith sponsor second act in 1990. it established 19 institutions in the former confederate states. olmsted and scientific farming was a supporter of the schools as evident by the author of ohio state and with considerable interest in energy he would become somewhat involved in the design of five landgrab's institutions, cal berkeley, maine, massachusetts, cornell and rhode island his sons were involved in another landgrab school including alabama a&m which is a block landgrab school plus they revive their father's work at the university of maine. in addition to the campus planning project father incense carried out correspondence with several other land-grant institutions and ofte

iowa state, i mentioned this earlier, iowa state has researched and suggested maybe as much as 30% of corn acres today may not require any fertilizer at all. if we can provide producers with censor materials and censor information and technology that will allow them to more accurately understand precisely where and how to utilize fertilizer, we could potentially lower those input costs. finally, i think it's important for people to take advantage of the program we recently announced and split the nitrogen program at risk management, the idea, potentially, to obtain some protection if you make the decision to split your nitrogen and apply it only once a year as opposed to twice a year. if there are crop reductions, maybe there is a way you can be compensated for those reductions. i think there is a multitude of things we need to be doing in the long term and the short term. folks need to take advantage of the tools that are available. >> i absolutely appreciate that, and as we continue to discuss this, further down the road, i want to talk more about precision agriculture as we roll th

max gordon shows us some of what they're dealing with this weekend into more in iowa. temperatures in the teens, but this is the eighth greatest two day snow on record in iowa, seeing 14.3 inches of snow. not only did iowa see heavy snow across the state, this storm also brought strong winds. some gusts at the des moines airport was powerful as 40 mph. that caused tricky travel conditions across the state. there was reduced visibility in some areas because of blowing snow large drifts built up, especially in rural areas and roads were slick . last night, our crew had quite the journey driving 90 miles from fort dodge northwest a year to our hotel in des moines. it was very slow going in some places as plows struggled to keep all the roads clear. even though it's the weekend. there are still a lot of folks headed to work. we caught up with a few of those folks digging out their cars here in des moines, it said. five inches, um i was not prepared for you know, like a foot and a half in my car to be snowden. so this is a first for me. i've never experienced this before. s

i was born and raised on a small iowa farm town. i think we have all been hearing about the guest: i have always believed if i cannot sell my message to the coffee shop -- i was going to sell it. we have all been hearing about the confusion and mixed messages and unclear messages coming out about the pandemic. we have to be clear, this is an evolving science situation. we are learning more all the time. i say somewhat joking, also with some seriousness, there are days i feel and know less about this virus now than i did six months ago. we have to communicate very clearly. we have to communicate what we know very clearly and we have to communicate what we are going to do to find out the uncertainty and how to address it. we have not done that. we have not done so that the average american feels "i know what is going on." that has become an important part of the trust in our communities. people will stay with you if you tell them as honestly as you can, as clear as you can, what it is we know, what it is we do not know. a good example

our numbers are up in iowa. when you look at hospitalizations, 81% of those are unvaccinated, and then moreover, the icu bed, which was the bed that my dad needed, 83% of those people are unvaccinated. so, getting vaccinated just seems to be common sense. my dad was a good neighbor. he would do anything for anyone, so it seems to me that people should just be good. be good to your neighbors. be kind. >> julia, did you guys hear this from hospital workers as well, as you were pleading for your dad to get a hospital bed, that it was because of these unvaccinated people that there was no room, no space for him? >> yes. after my dad had passed, we met with the -- we met with a couple different surgeons at iowa city, and one of the surgeons said, almost minutes after he passed, your dad needed specialized care. and we were like, yeah, we know. we've been waiting to get in to get that specialized care. and then later, we talked to the second surgeon, and she said that typically, in the last -- they would have taken da

as you know iowa has the most -- and they are working tirelessly to ensure iowa has a fiber broadband connection however to my understanding the third round of reconnect program puts a 15-point disadvantage on grant applications because they are companies are nonprofit and cooperatives. i find that really concerning. mr. secretary these are local family-owned commercial companies who serve in rural iowa. based on your track record in serving rural to america. would you consider abiding this policy? >> i'm happy to look into a congressman. i would say there are a number of criteria hereoont that would potentially play into the advantage of the companies mentioned the rural location of the company the economic need of a particular area of iowa and the factct that affordable serve and the prices being paid and the opportunities are vulnerable populationss. there are ways to offset what you may perceive to be a disadvantage. >> i would just say this to private sector companies competing with government i think that's very wrong. they are being pushed out. >> wait a minute, cooperatives. y

iowa, you are done with this. the dakotas saw a foot of snow from this a lot of people getting part of this storm. kind of a midwest piece of this. then there is the south piece of this. we have winter storm watches in effect. and then when you go over here across parts of the southern appalachians we have winter storm warnings in effect and ice storm. so the ice is probably going to be the most destructive of this. areas from around greenville, south carolina over towards maybe greensboro, north carolina. and through charlotte. some of those spots potentially seeing crippling ice from this that's going to be overnight from tonight and into tomorrow we see the bulk of that this the future track of the storm. pink there in towards tomorrow morning and that's where we will see that icing and probably mostly an ice event for you. then eventually tomorrow afternoon into evening this moves up the east coast and as it does, looks at this point that most of the i-95 corridor seeing snow to start and transitioning into ra

here to explain is republican iowa governor kim reynolds. governor, great to see you. so iowa, just to give folks an idea, you used to have the second high number of tax rates in the country. you had nine separate tax -- i guess that wasn't working out too well for you. how are you changing that? >> yeah, we are changing that, and i'm really excited about it. when i took office of in 2018, we were -- we had the fifth highest tax rate in the country, and when i implement the new tax bill that we put forth in the legislature this year, we'll have the fifth lowest. david, one of the reasons we're able to do that is because iowa was a state that kept our economy open, we kept employees employed, employers with work force. and because of that, we're seeing our economy continue to grow. and that's after tax cuts and informing in foundational priorities. we still ended last fiscal year with a surplus of $1.24 billion and over a billion dollars in cash reserves. so we're overcollecting, and it's time to give that money back to hard working taxpayers. and so we're going to go f

i'd encourage all of my colleagues, such sudden experts on utah and iowa and other election laws, to look at the 2018 election laws and see how they compare. what legislatures did is exactly what you'd hope they'd do. respond to a crisis, and when the crisis is over let's evaluate how much of that we want to keep as part of our permanent system and how much was only in crisis? what do these laws do? in utah, the state legislature determined that the chief election official of utah could get the names of deceased individuals and give them to county officials who would take their names off the rolls. that's listed as one of the things that makes it harder to vote. harder to vote for dead people. that's fine. i actually asked this question in a hearing of someone who -- one of the election monitoring people who said this was difficult. i said what about that? they said, the social security is often wrong. well, if anybody is going to get something straightened out pretty quickly, it would be a living person who no longer is getting their social security check because the social security
