If approved by the Jacksonville City Council, a marker would be installed at Kings Road and Canal Street on Aug. 25, a day before the first anniversary of the shooting, when a white gunman took the lives of three Black people.

After the federal government finished sending out the last of its COVID stimulus checks, many states took up the mantle, using special funding and budget surpluses to issue their residents tax rebates in 2022. This "state stimulus check" trend continued last year, with a couple of states sending refunds up to $200 (in Virginia) and rebates up to $1,000 per taxpayer (in New Mexico).

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

These 5 Cities Are Becoming Unpopular With Baby Boomers: Here’s Why

Washington State

Issued by: Washington State Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Program. A 34-year-old installer and a co-worker were installing gutters on a two-story residential home. They started the job about 6 a.m. The installer’s first task was to prepare the upper roof edge so he could hang the gutters. He went to the back of the house and used a ladder to get onto the roof of the patio. His co-worker was in the front of the house forming the gutters they were going to hang. While standing on the patio roof, the installer started prying between the upper roof shingles and the fascia to make a space to attach the gutter flashing. As he continued prying toward the corner of the upper roof, he reached the edge of the patio roof on which he was standing. He either did not see the patio roof edge and stepped off or was extending his reach and lost his balance. He fell 13 feet to the concrete patio. The employer, who had just arrived, and homeowner found him around 7 a.m. on the patio with his pry bar nearby. He was wearing a tool belt but not the personal fall protection equipment that was available in the work truck. Emergency responders declared him dead at the scene. After the incident, investigators found that the employer did not have a written incident prevention program or fall protection work plan, did not provide fall protection training or ensure workers used fall protection, and did not document safety meetings.
