Reynolds touts skills plan to lift Iowans at Central City fair
Gov. Kim Reynolds argues the Future Ready Town program and private public partnerships will boost Iowa workers beyond high school with a goal of 70 percent education by 2025. She cites United Way figures showing 37 percent of households struggle to meet basic needs while noting wage limits and child care cliffs affect advancement. Reynolds notes progress with personal income rising and fewer people on food stamps, but stresses focus on career skills over raising the minimum wage.
