HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — In 2024, Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro could face a more complicated sophomore year in charge of Pennsylvania after his first year brought a highway collapse, a budget stalemate and friction with allies and adversaries as he navigated the battleground state’s political divides.He is under pressure to respond to a court ruling that Pennsylvania’s system of public school funding unconstitutionally discriminates against poorer districts.His administration must also oversee a presidential election that, four years ago, was marred by a barrage of right-wing conspiracy theories, Donald Trump-allied efforts in court to overturn it and threats against election administrators.And Shapiro, viewed nationally as a rising political star, must navigate the nation’s only politically divided legislature in which allies and adversaries alike are wary of him.In his first year in office, Shapiro showed himself to be a low-key operator who took a hands-off approa...

Harvard president’s resignation highlights new conservative weapon against colleges: plagiarism

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 08:05:41 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The downfall of Harvard’s president has elevated the threat of unearthing plagiarism, a cardinal sin in academia, as a possible new weapon in conservative attacks on higher education.Claudine Gay’s resignation Tuesday followed weeks of mounting accusations that she lifted language from other scholars in her doctoral dissertation and journal articles. The allegations surfaced amid backlash over her congressional testimony about antisemitism on campus.The plagiarism allegations came not from her academic peers but her political foes, led by conservatives who sought to oust Gay and put her career under intense scrutiny in hopes of finding a fatal flaw. Her detractors charged that Gay — who has a Ph.D. in government, was a professor at Harvard and Stanford and headed Harvard’s largest division before being promoted — got the top job in large part because she is a Black woman.Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist who helped orchestrate the effort, celebrated her dep...

New California law 'great' for tenants

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 08:05:41 GMT

(KRON) – New housing laws are going into effect in 2024, and one of them aims to make renting a little more affordable.Starting July 1, landlords will have to rescript security deposits to one month’s rent. Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 12 into law in October. PG&E proposes additional price hike Paul Prouty, with National Commercial Property Management in the Bay Area, says the new law is “great” for tenants. They manage more than 500 properties, with roughly 1,500 tenants.He says this new law will help potential tenants who may have a hard time qualifying.“If you have credit trouble, or whatever the issue is, which would want to make a landlord charge you two months security deposit… this restricts that,” Prouty said. And, if you’ve already paid a double security deposit, Prouty has a tip for you:“Talk to them about getting some of that money back, they are not required to give it back to you, but reasonable people will be reasonable and work it out with you.”
