His longtime associate, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, was found guilty and sentenced for grooming young girls for Epstein to abuse — many as young as 14 when the abuse began.The Associated Press contributed to this developing report.

Student loan borrowers will struggle with repayment, CFPB warns

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:58:21 GMT

(NerdWallet) - After more than three years on the back burner, monthly federal student loan payments will finally resume 60 days after June 30 — and 1 in 5 borrowers could struggle when that happens, according to a new analysis from the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.Many borrowers could also fall behind on other debt obligations when student loan payments resume. More than 1 in 13 student loan borrowers are currently behind on other bills, an increase from before the pandemic, per the June 7 CFPB report, which analyzed a sample of about 32 million borrowers with outstanding federal student loans.President Joe Biden’s one-time debt cancellation plan could impact these findings. The Supreme Court is expected to decide by the end of June whether the proposal to erase up to $20,000 in student loan debt per borrower can be implemented. But even if the Supreme Court upholds Biden’s student debt plan, payments will still resume on any remaining debt later this summer.The CFP...

Local non-profit looking for storefront before new school year

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:58:21 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Teacher Reuse, a local non-profit that provides teachers with free school supplies, is in search of a new storefront to operate out of before the start of the new school year. Shelly O'Donnell, a former teacher, started the non-profit last year and operated out of a building owned by Hays Consolidated Independent School District. O'Donnell said she was allowed to stay in that building from August through October, but had to get out because the building was being used for voting during an election. The non-profit moved to another building in Kyle but now it has no storefront, and does not have enough money to lease a building. O'Donnell moved all the donated teaching supplies to four storage units in Buda. O'Donnell has written letters to school districts, spoken to multiple city councils, and has even written Tesla C.E.O. Elon Musk to try and find a permanent, or even a temporary, space. "We can't keep this stuff in storage, we have to get this stuff out to teac...

Opinion: Mike Johnston’s first test as Denver mayor: housing, homelessness and Denver’s living room

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:58:21 GMT

Mike Johnston ran a hard race to become Denver’s new mayor, but now just across the finish line, the real work begins.For example, how does the new mayor handle the decision to close the public seating in Union Station to anyone who hasn’t made a purchase? Known as “Denver’s living room”, something is being lost when a taxpayer-funded building’s seating area is suddenly closed to the non-paying public, a rule that had been in place but seldom enforced. However, Union Station, where Johnston held his election night victory party, was never intended to serve as a daytime shelter for the unhoused. Denver has been unfairly vilified post-pandemic for these kinds of problems – the same problems that plague cities like Grand Junction, towns like Gunnison, and suburbs like Aurora. Johnston will have to address expensive housing, growing crime rates, especially among teens, homeless encampments, and empty office space abandoned in favor of work-from-home arrangements.But if Denver, und...

For two Colorado counties that haven’t “de-Bruced,” the fiscal alarm is growing louder

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:58:21 GMT

Arapahoe County just fired a fiscal warning shot across the bow.In a little-noticed news release issued this month, Colorado’s third-largest county painted a dire picture of “critical services at risk” for its 655,000 residents “without modernizing finances.”A further read shows that what Arapahoe County is in fact doing is teeing up a request for “additional funding” — i.e. a tax hike or permission from voters to keep millions of dollars beyond what the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, allows. It is, in large part, an acknowledgment by the county that fundamental changes to the way it raises revenue are needed if basic governmental functions are to continue at current levels.“The county has always prized fiscal conservatism and keeping a tight belt,” Commissioner Jessica Campbell-Swanson said minutes after addressing a crowd of hundreds at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds last week during the State of the County a...
