President issues order limiting last-minute federal labor agreements WASHINGTON, D.C. — President [Name] has issued an executive memorandum prohibiting federal agencies from finalizing collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) in the 30 days before a presidential transition, arguing such agreements improperly constrain a new administration’s authority. The order, signed Wednesday, directs federal agencies to disapprove CBAs made in the final month of the previous administration if they create new contractual obligations, make substantive changes, or extend existing agreements. The policy does not apply to CBAs covering law enforcement officers. In the memorandum, the president cited a Department of Education agreement signed three

EVESHAM, N.J. — As schools reopen for the academic year, the Evesham Township Police Department is reminding motorists to pay attention to reduced speed limits in school zones when children are present. In a post on social media, police clarified that speed limits are lowered when children can be seen from the roadway, even if they are 100 yards away from the road, such as in front of a school during pick-up or drop-off times. The reduced speed applies whenever children are visible, not just when they are near the street. The department urges drivers to be mindful of speed

Biden Proposes Term Limits for the Supreme Court, None for Congress or Senate

Breaking Local News ReportJuly 29, 20240

Washington, D.C. — President Joe Biden has put forward a series of reforms aimed at addressing concerns about the integrity and independence of the Supreme Court and ensuring accountability for former Presidents. These proposals have generated significant debate among lawmakers and the public. In recent years, the Supreme Court has made decisions that have overturned long-standing legal precedents, impacting civil rights and reproductive rights. Ethical issues involving some Justices have further fueled skepticism about the Court’s impartiality. President Biden’s proposals aim to address these issues but have faced criticism for potentially overstepping executive boundaries. No Immunity for Crimes Committed by

JUDGE ANDREW P. NAPOLITANO: Are There Limits To Freedom Of Speech On College Campuses?

The Daily CallerMay 4, 20240

When James Madison was a member of Congress in 1791 and charged with drafting the Bill of Rights, he made two grammatical demands. One was that the word “the” precede “freedom of speech” in the First Amendment, and the other was a command in the Ninth Amendment that the “rights retained by the people,” rights too numerous to enumerate, “shall not be disparaged” by the government. This principle–that our rights preexisted the government–would be played out over and over in litigation in the centuries following the ratification of the Bill of Rights. The ratification itself was insisted upon by five

Analysis-China’s harsh sentence for Australian writer tests limits of rebound in ties

ReutersFebruary 5, 20240

By Laurie Chen BEIJING (Reuters) – The suspended death sentence handed to Australian writer Yang Hengjun in Beijing on Monday is unlikely to derail Australia-China ties but will test the limits of Canberra’s push to put relations back on track after years of tensions, analysts say. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said she was “appalled”, while observers expressed shock at the severity of the sentence for Yang, an Australian citizen born in China, three years after a closed-door trial on espionage charges. Yang was detained as ties worsened in 2019. But hopes of his release had been fuelled by a

Chinese major cities ease home purchase limits to boost sales

ReutersJanuary 31, 20240

BEIJING (Reuters) – Two of China’s major cities, Suzhou and Shanghai, followed Guangzhou in easing home-buying restrictions, in an effort to boost property sales as persistent weakness in confidence delays a recovery in the crisis-hit property sector. The eastern city of Suzhou completely relaxed home buying restrictions for new and resale home markets, according to state media The Paper on Tuesday. Previously, residents in Suzhou were only allowed to buy up to three apartments with less than 120 square metres. Shanghai also on Tuesday eased some of its home purchase limits, allowing single non-Shanghai householders to buy homes in some

Vietnam tightens limits on investors’ stakes in banks

ReutersJanuary 17, 20240

HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam’s legislature on Thursday approved new rules that lower the maximum stake investors can hold in domestic banks, a move aimed at reducing risks of market manipulation, but that could make investment in lenders less attractive. Under the reform, which will take effect from July this year, institutional shareholders, such as investment or pension funds, will be allowed to hold up to 10% of a bank’s equity, down from the current 15% limit. More than 90% of the National Assembly deputies agreed with the amended law. The move followed the unveiling in late 2022 of Vietnam’s largest

BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil’s National Monetary Council, the country’s top economic policy body, on Thursday set regulations on a measure passed in October to limit interest rates and financial charges in revolving credit card lines to twice the initial amount of debt.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico’s main food retailers have agreed to maintain a deal with the government to limit the prices of 24 basic food staples in order to help tame inflation, a government official said on Monday.

New Jersey Congressman Flips Out After Nikki Haley Proposes Term Limits

Conservative TimesNovember 24, 20230

A recent proposal by Nikki Haley, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, suggesting a five-year term limit for bureaucrats, has sparked a debate on social media. The proposal, part of her “#TheFreedomPlan,” calls for not just limiting the terms of politicians but also extending these limits to federal bureaucrats. Tom Malinowski, a prominent figure on social media, responded critically to Haley’s proposal. “Yeah, let’s just fire NASA rocket scientists, DOE nuclear security workers, NIH cancer researchers, air traffic controllers, food and rail safety inspectors after 5 years because you’ve been cynically stoking anger against “bureaucrats” and now your base

Factbox-German budget crisis tests limits of its ‘debt brake’

ReutersNovember 20, 20230

BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany’s constitutional court ruled last week that the coalition government’s decision to re-allocate 60 billion euros ($65 billion) of unused debt from the pandemic era to climate and industry projects was unconstitutional. The ruling has sent budget talks into disarray and sparked calls within Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition to suspend a constitutionally enshrined “debt brake” that sets legal limits on borrowing. The government’s use of off-budget funds had been a way to comply with these limits as Germany sees itself as Europe’s strongest defender of fiscal discipline. WHAT IS THE DEBT BRAKE AND WHY WAS IT INTRODUCED?

Phil StiltonNovember 3, 20230

TRENTON, NJ – In some places in New Jersey, there’s a profound belief that once you win a particular political office in a politically safe area, you’re guaranteed that seat until you either retire or die. Many of New Jersey’s elected officials have been in the game a long time. Some a very long time. A new poll shows that Americans particularly those in New Jersey, would like to see a changing of the guard. A Pew Research Center survey recently highlighted strong public support for implementing age limits for federal elected officials and Supreme Court justices. The study finds

Analysis-Europe’s weaker economy limits fallout of US bond rout

ReutersAugust 30, 20230

By Yoruk Bahceli (Reuters) – A big selloff that pushed U.S. borrowing costs to 15-year highs left euro zone bonds relatively unscathed in August, reflecting investor bets the bloc’s economic growth and funding needs will increasingly lag those in the United States. A resilient U.S. economy and rising borrowing needs pushed Treasury yields to their highest in over 15 years in August amid growing expectations that interest rates would stay higher for longer. Furthermore, U.S. inflation-adjusted borrowing costs rose above 2% for the first time since 2009, hurting stocks and pushing up borrowing costs globally. European bonds, however, were less
