(The Center Square) – The Richland City Council unanimously passed a one-tenth of 1% sales tax hike on Tuesday, without voter approval, to replace a $20 car tab fee funding its pavement preservation program. Finance Director Brandon Allen said Richland will begin collecting the tax revenue in April. The officials initially approved it last month, but voted again due to issues reporting the change to the state. Both the Department of Revenue and the Department of Licensing operate on different notification deadlines. The money will fund the city’s Transportation Benefit District. State law allows cities to establish TBDs to fund local infrastructure projects by either passing a tax increase or a licensing fee. The council can pass either option without voter approval, but requires their consent to increase either in the future. “We were sort of rushing,” Councilmember Jhoanna Jones said Tuesday, referencing the plan to initially start collection by January 2026. “So, I like this idea better, that we’re actually being more methodical about the process, basically avoiding the rushing … to meet deadlines that sometimes are difficult.” The council unanimously approved the creation of the city’s TBD in 2017 to help pay for a $38 million bridge largely funded by the state. Only residents pay the $20 car tab fee, which generates about $1 million annually, compared to the sales tax, which all consumers would pay to generate $2.25 million. The .01% increase only costs a penny for every $10 spent at the register but raises the total rate to 8.8% after other state and local sales taxes. When the idea came up in September, City Manager Jon Amundson said you would have to spend $20,000 in one year to raise the equivalent of one $20 car tab. “My brain wants to vote yes, my heart wants to vote no because I do not like taxes,” Mayor Pro Tem Sandra Kent said, “but the math says … this is going to be less expensive than the current tab fee." Kent was on the council when it established the TBD, and said Thursday that part of her still believes that road maintenance should be part of the city’s core services and budgeted for with existing funds. She voted in favor of the car tab fee in 2017 because an engineer said a TBD was a way to ensure the city adequately preserved the roads since the city didn’t have enough money for it otherwise. That played into Kent’s decision again on Thursday, though she cited a desire to cut taxes if possible in the future. The city of Pasco, one of Richland’s neighbors in Tri-Cities, is also considering establishing a TBD. The topic came up during the Pasco City Council’s meeting on Monday. The officials favored the sales tax over the car tab fee, as in Richland, but the dais ultimately signaled that it should be left to voters. Richland Councilmember Kurt Maier said Tuesday that he is “unreservedly in favor of this change.” He said that up until now, only city residents had shouldered the cost of pavement preservation, but this shift requires anyone coming through or working in town to pay for that. Maier joined Jones and Councilmember Ryan Lukson in thanking city staff for working on a quick timeline despite hiccups. “To be fair to staff,” Lukson said, “had we given more time to do the due diligence and go through the process, it wouldn't have been an issue. So in some ways, it feels like no good deed goes unpunished.”

The new CBS television series Boston Blue has achieved what I long thought impossible — something close to an accurate portrayal of a multi-racial Jewish-American family. The show, which quietly debuted last month as a spinoff of the hit series Blue Bloods, centers around the Silver family — a clan of police officers and elected...

On November 19, reports surfaced that Russia and the United States were quietly drafting a new plan to end the war in Ukraine. Later that day, several of the plan’s details became public, indicating that the proposal largely repeats demands Vladimir Putin has made of Kyiv since the start of the conflict. The new plan’s parameters were developed primarily by two special presidential envoys: Steve Witkoff from the White House and Kirill Dmitriev from the Kremlin. Meduza reviews who these men are and how they fit into negotiations to end Europe’s bloodiest war in decades.

An education program founded by rapper Andre “Dr. Dre” Young and record executive Jimmy Iovine and focused on entrepreneurship, technology, and design is coming to two Denver schools next fall, the school district announced Thursday. “You know how Dre said ‘let me welcome everybody…’?” Denver Public Schools Superintendent Alex Marrero said in a statement. “Well, this partnership welcomes our students into a whole new world of creativity, entrepreneurship, and future-ready learning.” Manual High School and Denver School of the Arts will each host an Iovine and Young Center for Innovation. Students at the two schools will be able to take classes that blend “design, technology, business, and the arts,” the district said. The programming will start with ninth graders in the fall of 2026, the district said. Denver School of the Arts will also pilot classes with middle school students. Melissa Boyd, an executive director of secondary schools with DPS, said the courses have names like Rapid Prototyping and Disruptive Innovation and are like nothing she’s ever seen. “We look forward to working with Denver Public Schools to unlock the superpowers of these students,” said Iovine in a statement. “Together, we’ll empower young people — especially those from underrepresented communities — to think differently, dream bigger, and lead the next wave of innovation.” Iovine and Young also cofounded the company that made Beats headphones. Manual High is a district-run school open to all students. About 95% of students at Manual High are students of color. Denver School of the Arts is also district-run but admission is based on an audition. About 38% of students at Denver School of the Arts are students of color. The Iovine and Young programming started at the University of Southern California in 2013. It has since expanded to high schools, including a standalone school in Los Angeles and a program at Frederick Douglass High School in Atlanta. Denver’s programming will be paid for through philanthropy, the district said, with the Denver Public Schools Foundation taking the lead on fundraising.

O líder da bancada do PT na Câmara, Lindbergh Farias (RJ), protocolou nesta quinta-feira (20) medidas no Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) e na Mesa Diretora da Câmara questionando a saída do deputado Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ) do país, apesar de medidas cautelares que o proibiam de deixar o Brasil. Segundo Lindbergh, o que está em jogo é a autoridade das instituições. “Um parlamentar condenado por crimes graves contra a democracia não pode fugir para Miami como se nada tivesse acontecido. A lei vale para todos e irá imperar contra o deputado fugitivo que seguiu o exemplo de Carla Zambelli, Eduardo Bolsonaro, entre outros”, ressaltou o líder do PT. Notícias relacionadas: Câmara diz que não foi informada sobre saída de Ramagem do país. PSOL pede prisão de Ramagem após deputado ser visto em Miami . Esta semana, deputados do PSOL-RJ (Pastor Henrique Vieira, Glauber Braga, Chico Alencar, Tarcísio Motta e Talíria Petrone) pediram ao STF a decretação da prisão de Ramagem, argumentando que “tudo indica que ele fugiu para os Estados Unidos”. A Câmara, por sua vez, afirmou que não foi informada oficialmente sobre a saída de Ramagem nem autorizou viagem oficial ao exterior. Ex-diretor da Agência Brasileira de Inteligência (Abin) durante o governo Jair Bolsonaro, Ramagem foi condenado na ação penal da trama golpista a 16 anos de prisão e recorre em liberdade. Durante a investigação, Ramagem foi proibido pelo ministro Alexandre de Moraes de sair do país e teve que entregar todos os passaportes nacionais e estrangeiros.
