ST. LOUIS - A new opinion piece published by the New York Times conveys St. Louis as a city with a "struggling downtown" and suggests that various Missouri laws are not helping the cause. Kevin McDermott, an editorial page editor for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, contributed to the opinion piece. Expired tags ‘nightmare’: Woman gets car back as neighbor’s truck gets towed away The piece starts by explaining that Downtown St. Louis was "once a buzzy destination for shoppers and diners," but in present day, "visitors [are] presumably repelled by reports of violent crime, homelessness and blight." It paints a picture by describing empty storefronts and echoes of sirens and silence throughout the summer. Later on, the New York Times compares two modern-day situations in San Francisco and St. Louis, both cities which FOX 2 previously reported ranked last in post-pandemic downtown recovery. It hints the path to revitalize St. Louis could be more challenging since the city is "a blue [De...

California's law aimed at fast food wages is on hold. Lawmakers may have found a way around it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:50:14 GMT

A new California law aimed in part at boosting salaries for fast food workers has been delayed for nearly two years following industry resistance. Now, the Democrats who control the state Legislature might have figured out how to raise worker pay anyway.Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the law last year. It created a 10-member council with the authority, among other things, to increase the state's $15.50 minimum wage to a maximum of $22 per hour for some fast food workers. Some experts quickly hailed the law as one of the “most significant pieces of employment legislation passed in a generation.”But unlike in most states, California voters have the power to overturn some laws passed by the Legislature. Business groups who opposed the law gathered enough signatures to qualify a referendum in 2024. In the meantime, the law does not take effect. California-based In-N-Out Burger poised for major expansion Business groups were confident the law would ultimately be blocked a...
