DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government says automakers will end up recalling 42 million vehicles with potentially deadly air bag inflators made by Takata Corp.

The National Highway Safety Administration released a schedule for further recalls on Friday. It’s another step toward recalling about 69 million inflators that can potentially explode with too much force and spew shrapnel into people. Some cars will have both the driver side and passenger side air bags replaced.

Recalls are being phased in through the end of 2019.

Eleven people have been killed by Takata inflators in the U.S. and as many as 16 worldwide. The government says 180 people have been hurt in the U.S. alone.

Nineteen automakers are now affected by the recalls. So far only 12.5 million inflators have been replaced.

A 43-year-old North Platte woman has been accused of stealing money from a mentally disabled man.

According to Investigator John Deal, North Platte police began an investigation into the possible abuse of a vulnerable adult at Family Skill Building Services, 403 East C Street, on December 5.

It was reported by a 34-year-old male that a woman, identified as Ann Ponce, had convinced him to give her money on multiple occasions.  Deal says Ponce told the man she needed the money to help a friend.

The investigation revealed that Ponce would drive the man around and have him get cash advances.  The man reported that Ponce would have him take out a $500 loan each time, totaling over $3,000.

Deal says investigators learned that Ponce was not giving the money to a friend, but was instead using the money to pay off her own debts.

Deal said the victim has some mental disabilities and, as a result, it was determined that there was probable cause to charge Ponce with abuse of a vulnerable adult and theft, both felonies.

Officers made contact with Ponce and placed her under arrest.  She was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Public Service Commission is allowing a cable company to stop delivering phone books to homes in the communities it serves statewide.

The state’s phone regulator gave CenturyLink permission on Tuesday to stop delivering the phone books. The books will still be available upon request.

The commission’s spokesman, Cullen Robbins, says the order sets a precedent that could soon be applied across Nebraska. The goal is to cut back on the environmental and material costs associated with printing stacks of hard copy phone books every year.

Other phone companies, such as Windstream in Lincoln, will have to separately apply if they want to drop their paper directories. A Windstream spokesman says the company doesn’t have current plans to do so.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — An economic forecast report says low farm prices and a tightening labor market will limit Nebraska’s economic growth over the next three years.

The forecast report released Friday by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Bureau of Business Research says moderate economic growth is expected in Nebraska from 2017 through 2019. Employment is expected to rise by between 1 and 1.1 percent a year.

Eric Thompson is director of the bureau, and he says cattle prices and farm incomes are expected to remain at low levels over the next three years. He also says weakness in its agricultural sector “will cap growth in the Nebraska economy, despite strong growth in other sectors such as construction and business services.”
