CALIFORNIA – Starting July 1, landlords will only be allowed to collect one month’s rent for the security deposit on a rental property. Assembly Bill 12, signed into law last October, says regardless of whether the residential property is unfurnished or furnished, only one month’s rent can be charged in addition to any rent for the first month paid on or before initial occupancy.

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s day two delivery at the Republican National Convention was a drastic departure from the “unity convention” gimmick that the party had promised.While referring to the “battle” and “struggle” for control of American life and slamming Democrats as the “party of self-destruction,” the Louisiana politician took a moment to nod to one of his favorite, and most dangerous, conspiracies: the “great replacement theory.”“We cannot allow the many millions of illegal aliens they’ve allowed to cross our borders, to harm our citizens, raid our resources, or disrupt our elections. We will not allow it,” Johnson said. “My friends,...

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

When it comes to venues to catch a Saturday game in the fall, very few can even hold a candle to LSU’s Tiger Stadium.
With a capacity over 100,000 and a propensity to draw big-time night games, it’s one of the most feared places to play for visiting opponents. While quite a few stadiums around the country provide a unique home-field advantage, they just don’t make them like they do in Baton Rouge.
ESPN’s staff recently ranked the top 25 stadiums in the country, and it really should come as no surprise to see LSU’s right at the top in the No....

I recently had a conversation with a legislator about the work done on property tax relief this year. As he campaigns for reelection, this lawmaker is often hearing from constituents about rising property taxes and their frustration about government inaction. However, the Legislature has not been inactive on this issue. In the most recent legislative session, lawmakers passed four separate bills addressing property taxes, each of which will provide substantial relief. In his conversations with constituents, the legislator has been urging patience, rightly noting that legislation is not an overnight fix and that overreacting now would cause greater problems in the future.
