FIVE YEARS IN. DECISION ON HOW TO CUT TAXES, ACCORDING TO REPORTS IS A NEARLY $76 BILLION
BUDGET PLAN. THE RECORD SPENDING
PLAN WOULD DEDICATE 19.6 BILLION
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND AN
ADDITIONAL TWO BILLION FOR
SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING. IS
ALSO 2.6 BILLION TO SUPPORT
PENSION FUNDS AND $6 BILLION FOR
ROADS. THE BUDGET DOES NOT
INCLUDE ANY SORT OF TAX RELIEF
PROGRAMS. A TERM FILLED WITH
HISTORY SHAPING DECISIONS THAT
SUPREME COURT IS NOW OVER THE
COURTS YEAR ENDED WITH TWO MORE
CONSEQUENTIAL OPINIONS AND A
MOMENT FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS.

TURN THAT COULD AFFECT AMERICAN
LIFE FOR DECADES, WITH A KEY
RULING ON GUN CONTROL, AND THE
OVERTURNING OF THE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO AN
ABORTION. THURSDAY, THE COURT
ISSUED TWO MORE CONSEQUENTIAL
DECISIONS, WEAKENING THE POWER
OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY. THIS IS AN HISTORIC
EVISCERATION. THE AUTHORITY OF
THE EPA TO REGULATE GREENHOUSE
GASSES AND ALLOWING THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TO END A TRUMP
ERROR RULE THAT MADE SOME ASYLUM
SEEKERS STAY IN MEXICO UNTIL
THEIR CASES ARE DECIDED.

ROE V. WADE, BUT ESSENTIALLY
CHALLENGING THE RIGHT TO
PRIVACY. MR BIDEN NOW, SAYING HE
FAVORS A LIMITED CHANGE TO THE
SENATE FILIBUSTER SO DEMOCRATS
CAN PROTECT THE RIGHT TO
ABORTION, WITH A FEDERAL LAW
PASSED BY A SIMPLE MAJORITY. THE
TOP REPUBLICAN IN THE SENATE,
MITCH MCCONNELL SAID THE
PRESIDENT’S ATTACKS ON THE COURT
ARE UNMERITED AND DANGEROUS. IN

FOOD POISONING. SO FAR, ONE
PERSON HAS DIED AND 23 HAVE
GOTTEN SICK IN THIS OUTBREAK.
THE SOURCE REMAINS A MYSTERY
HASN’T BEEN TIED TO ANY
PARTICULAR FOOD. HOWEVER, THE
CDC SAYS NEARLY ALL OF THE
PEOPLE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN
INFECTED EITHER LIVED IN OR
TRAVELED TO FLORIDA. SERIOUS
SYMPTOMS USUALLY START 1 TO 4
WEEKS AFTER EATING CONTAMINATED
FOOD. THOSE SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
FEVER, MUSCLE ACHES, NAUSEA AND
DIARRHEA. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

GALLON FOR REGULAR EXPERTS SAY,
FOR MANY FAMILIES PLANNING TO

AFFORDABLE OPTION. FOR A VEHICLE

OVER $120 CHARLOTTE TO THE OUTER
BANKS LESS THAN $140 EVEN KANSAS
CITY TO DENVER, NEARLY 1200 MILE
ROUND TRIP. JUST OVER $200, BUT
FACTOR IN MEALS AND HOTELS, AND
IT ALL ADDS UP TO LOVE TO GO TO

45% COMPARED TO WHAT THEY WOULD
HAVE PAID IN 2019. AND NOT JUST
ON AIRFARE COSTS ARE IN A CAR
