States File Suit to Block Biden’s Student Debt Forgiveness Plan, California Spends Big but Can’t Tell if Programs Work as Homelessness Skyrockets
Description
A coalition of states has filed a legal challenge to President Joe Biden’s latest executive effort to forgive a portion of Americans' student loan debt. Norfolk Southern reached a $600 million settlement in a class action lawsuit filed after a toxic train derailment near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. Consumer prices continued to rise at an elevated rate in March, according to newly released federal inflation data. According to an audit, California is not sufficiently tracking homelessness program costs and outcomes. The Seattle Public School District says activities requiring students to provide information protected by federal and state law do not violate the statutes as long as teachers do not store the information without parental consent. And the Fed may not make the 3 to 4 rate cuts the market was expecting this year.
