Voters in seven states weighed in on property tax relief measures on Tuesday, part of an ongoing property tax revolt that has developed in recent years as home prices and **** sed values soared while incomes have largely failed to keep up. The outcomes were mixed, with voters in Florida and North Carolina overwhelmingly approving amendments designed to cut or cap taxes, while Wyoming and Oklahoma voters rejected tax-limiting measures.
The split results reflect the complicated trade-offs between limiting unpopular and fast-rising taxes and funding public services.
"Property tax bills are rising far faster than inflation and even home valuations," said Nicole Fox, a policy **** yst at the Tax Foundation. "People are noticing."

The most sweeping effort to lower taxes came in Florida, where 62% of voters approved a major property tax cut that will increase the amount of a home's value that can be exempted from non-school homestead property taxes, effectively eliminating those taxes entirely in some parts of the state.

The Nebraska wrestling program placed third in the NWCA preseason poll released earlier this week. The program earned 362 points.
They finished fifth in the final NWCA poll in 2025-26, and finished third overall in the NCAA Championships as well.
Only Oklahoma State and Penn State had more points in this year's poll. The Nittany Lions topped the country with 400 points, while the Cowboys finished with 382.
The Huskers will face a difficult start to the season, opening with 18th-ranked Wyoming. The match will take place on November 8. The opener will be one of many matches that should test the program.
This program comes into the year with high expectations, as it remains one of the country's elite programs. Mark Manning and the program will have a chance to remain among the country's elite programs.

The Brooklyn Nets have signed, drafted, and traded for players from virtually every state in the US, and much of the wider world beyond the United States. From Alabama to Wyoming, and from Australia to Ukraine, the Nets have a long and distinguished history of turning over every stone to find the talent needed to succeed in the NBA.
From their start in the American Basketball **** ociation (ABA) as the New Jersey Americans and New York Nets to their jump to the NBA as the New Jersey Nets right through to today, the organization has cast their net for talent wide since the inception of the ball club.
For this installment of our series documenting the provenience of every Nets player to suit up for the franchise, let's take a look at every player from California who has played for Brooklyn.
Our focus in this article is Brandon Armstrong. An alum of Pepperdine, he was picked up with the 23rd overall selection of the 2001 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets.
The San Francisco, California native played the first (and only) 3 seasons of his pro career with the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets, leaving the league as a player afterward.

Major League Baseball (MLB) leadership is no longer considering holding a game inside a national park, according to a letter commissioner Robert Manfred sent to officials in Teton county, Wyoming, on Thursday in what could be the league's biggest swing-and-a-miss off the diamond.
On 26 September, the Washington Post reported that MLB had reached out to the White House about staging a one-day game at Grand Teton national park in Wyoming. Teton county describes itself as a "a year-round resort community" and sits within the Jackson Hole valley. It's also a habitat for grizzly bears, osprey, bison and more.
News of MLB's outreach to the federal government quickly sparked concern about the impact that erecting a field and the infrastructure to hold spectators could have on the natural landscape and habitat of scores of wildlife that call the 310,000-acre (125,500-hectare) park home.
In the letter, Manfred noted that MLB had held games at places like the Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina and the nation's oldest Negro Leagues stadium in Birmingham, Alabama. He added that MLB staff had been doing their due diligence to see whether a game at Grand Teton was possible and to evaluate the potential environmental impact.
"Since the story was reported, it has become clear that the local community does not want us to continue Grand Teton national park as a potential site," Manfred wrote.

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., on Sunday downplayed concerns that President Donald Trump may have violated the Constitution when reporters from Politico, MS NOW and CNN were banned from covering the White House on Saturday.
Asked directly whether the president had violated the Constitution, Barrasso said, “No, I believe the press has an obligation to report fairly.”
Pressed again on whether he agreed with Trump’s ban, Barrasso said, “We all respect and value the freedom of the press — it’s in the Constitution.”
“He was banned from Twitter. He was banned from Facebook, and I didn’t see people come to his defense,” the Wyoming senator told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “So it goes both ways. The press has an obligation to report fairly, and the president doesn’t see it happening that way.”
Pressed on whether the president’s decision to ban the reporters from White House coverage violated the First Amendment, Barrasso demurred, saying again, “I believe the press has an obligation to report fairly.”

Adolfson & Peterson has tapped John Herrera, a company veteran who joined when he was a teenager, as its next chief operating officer, according to a Tuesday announcement from the builder.
In his capacity as COO, Herrera will focus on leadership across the Minneapolis-based firm's national operations, per the announcement.
Prior to his appointment, Herrera served as the regional president of AP Mountain States, which includes Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Utah. He will remain based in Colorado during his tenure as COO.
The appointment comes amid a broader executive shuffle at AP that began early last year when the firm tapped Brad Hendrickson as its COO in March 2025. Less than a year later, then-CEO Jeff Hansen announced his retirement, with Hendrickson lined up as successor.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has agreed to a significant portion of a stringent ethics proposal that is part of broader cryptocurrency legislation headed for a key vote this week, according to three of the bill's main Republican authors.
The sweeping bill initially had just a provision included that would bar all federally elected officials and their spouses, as well as federal judges, from issuing digital ***** ets.
A core group of Democrats, as well as Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said that didn't go far enough to address conflict-of-interest issues they had with Trump's crypto wealth. Their votes would be needed to advance the bill in a key vote this Tuesday.
Tillis and Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., along with several other Democrats, had demanded language that would allow state attorneys general to step in and enforce the law in addition to the Justice Department.
In announcing Trump's agreement, Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Scott of South Carolina and John Boozman of Arkansas said it includes a "meaningful role" for state attorneys general to play in enforcing the crypto measure should it become law.

A Wyoming football player appears to have pushed at least one fan during a field storming at Canvas Stadium after Colorado State won the Border War on Sept. 5.
Various social media accounts posted videos showing Wyoming defensive lineman Jayden Williams pushing at least one person as CSU fans rushed the field after the Rams won to secure the Bronze Boot trophy.
Several posts on social media with videos showed Williams pushing a fan. Wyoming coach Jay Sawvel responded to the incident in his weekly press conference on Sept. 7, saying it has "been addressed."
"I've seen the Jayden video, been made aware of it. Made aware of it first, watched it. Watched it a couple different times. It's been addressed and will be addressed further in house. Obviously, we don't condone that from players to fans or anything from that standpoint. That will be something we address team wide, as well," Sawvel said, according to a report from Kaycee Clark-Mellott from KGWN TV.
"That's not the way we're going to operate," Sawvel said.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — The 91-year-old coach soaked in the scene from the back of the room as he wore a Colorado State hat and matching shirt.
For more than three hours on Saturday night, Jim E. Mora watched his son's coaching debut for the Rams through the dual lens of a father and longtime coach.
The dad in him couldn't have been more proud as Jim L. Mora led the Rams to a 35-13 win over Wyoming. The coach in him, though, felt nervous and uneasy at times before Colorado State pulled away in the second half.
Once a coach, always a coach.
"I was really worried today," the father said after the game, "until all that good stuff happened."

Jim Mora's first game as Colorado State football coach is in the books and it ended with a trophy.
The Bronze Boot sat atop the table next to Mora as he gave his postgame press conference following a 35-13 win over Wyoming on Sept. 5 at Canvas Stadium.
Here's a look at the highlights of what Mora said after the game.
"I saw five touchdowns, which was pretty nice. I'll tell you what the most impressive thing about Hauss was, was his composure, his poise and his command of the game. His command of the situations in the game, in terms of clockmanagement, down the stretch. His ball security, the way that his players, his teammates responded to him in the huddle ...
"This guy, it was his second start. The first snap he took was his 23rd play as a college football player and you would have never known it by how he performed tonight."

Wyoming's Republican Gov. Mark Gordon voiced concerns about the Justice Department election monitors who observed the primary election in his state last week, saying he's asked his attorney general to look into their "aggressive" behavior.
The Justice Department sent two Civil Rights Division attorneys to Laramie County, Wyoming, which includes the state capital of Cheyenne. But some officials, including the state attorney general, weren't made aware of the move in advance, Gordon said at a state canvassing board meeting Wednesday.
"It sounded like the behavior of the observers was a bit aggressive," Gordon said, adding, "It just was irregular and, and I have asked the attorney general to start looking into … the nature of the visits and all that sort of stuff."
The DOJ, when reached for comment, pointed CNN to an August 18 statement from Wyoming US Attorney Darin Smith: "Voters deserve absolute confidence that their ballots are secure and their voices are heard without interference…. We are working alongside local officials to ensure every lawful vote is protected."
CNN has reached out to the governor's office for comment.

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh reaffirmed the central bank's commitment to lowering consumer prices, acknowledging that inflation remains too high in a highly anticipated speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
During remarks at the Fed's annual conference, Warsh said that recent government data shows inflation has cooled, but "they do not tell me that underlying trends have meaningfully improved."
While stopping short of saying the Fed could raise its benchmark interest rate, Warsh also signaled that policymakers are prepared to act if inflationary pressures don't subside. Inflation has eased in recent months after reaching a 3 -year high in May, but prices remain stubbornly above the Fed's 2% annual target.
"We must be confident that underlying inflation is moving to our objective clearly and at sufficient speed," Warsh said. "Otherwise, we have work to do."
Although inflation remains hot, Warsh said he is "impressed by the overall performance of the economy," touting measures such as the nation's unemployment rate, which sat at 4.1% in July.

Aug 27 (Reuters) - Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh appear at odds over a question at the heart of U.S. financial policy. How hands-off can policymakers be when it comes to setting a price for money?
Warsh has advocated retreating from some of the central bank's longstanding ‌communication policies in favor of letting markets do the heavy lifting, while Bessent has deployed a number of tools, some of them unusual, in the name of ‌aiding market function.
The divide has come into view as the Trump administration steps up efforts to contain long-term borrowing costs — a push whose success appears unlikely to many ****** ysts and portfolio managers without concrete steps to contain the sprawling U.S. fiscal deficit.
That contrast in approaches will come into focus on Friday morning, when Warsh is scheduled to speak at the Fed's annual event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He wants bond markets to play a bigger role in setting rates, a stance arguably at odds with Bessent's interventionism. Meanwhile investors are seeking ****** urance that Warsh will act decisively against inflation in his first year leading a divided Fed.

Aug 27 (Reuters) - Two Federal Reserve officials on Thursday shared their ongoing concerns about the U.S. inflation outlook, as central bankers gathered in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the Kansas City Fed's closely watched annual economic symposium.
Inflation is "still stubborn and it's still sticky and we've ‌got to continue to find ways to break through" and get it back to 2%, Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid said on CNBC ‌on the sidelines of the conference.
He noted that the U.S. central bank's current 3.50%-3.75% policy rate did not appear to be restrictive.
"I don't know what we're restricting currently with the rate policy that we're at today," Schmid said.

The Slipper Still Fits sat down with the former leader of the Gonzaga Bulldogs from 1997-99, the man who helped orchestrate the name of this website through that magical 1999 Elite Eight run.
Dan Monson is now the head coach of the Eastern Washington Eagles. The 2026-27 group in nearby Cheney, Washington, plays a stacked non-conference slate on the road at the Stanford Cardinals, Oregon Ducks, Oregon State Beavers, Utah Utes, UNLV Runnin' Rebels, Loyola Marymount Lions, and Wyoming Cowboys. Plus, a neutral-site game with the Washington State Cougars in the Spokane Arena for the 509 Classic on Dec. 22. It feels like Monson was taking a page right out of Gonzaga's playbook to schedule heavily in the first half of the season.
He spoke about his recent trip to Springfield, Massachusetts, for Mark Few's Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction, leaving Spokane, Washington, for the Minnesota Golden Gophers job, the current messy state of the NCAA, and learning from his dad, the late great Don Monson, in the Tri Cities.

Chelsea Handler's eldest brother, Chet Handler, died tragically at the age of 22 more than 40 years ago. However, according to the comedian, her father "never really recovered from that."
"When my brother died, my father really fell apart," Chlelsea, 51, said in a resurfaced clip from her April 2025 appearance on Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast. "It's like your oldest is always your — like you taught me how to parent."
She explained that her father Seymour's reaction to his son's death "appeared" to be partially driven by his ego.
"To him it was almost like ego, there was some ego part of it," she said. "I don't know if that's true — that's how it appeared. Like he just couldn't believe he lost his firstborn. Like that's my son. Who could take my son? I'm going to blame everyone I can and sue everybody."
The former late-night host was just 9 years old when her brother fell to his death during a hike in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

BANGKOK (AP) — World shares were mostly lower and oil prices slipped on Monday at the outset of a week capped by an annual meeting of top U.S. economic officials at Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Iran's currency hit a record low as the U.S. prepared to announce new sanctions to try to break the impasse with Iran, adding pressure when its economy is already battered by earlier sanctions and a U.S. naval blockade.
The rial dropped to 2.02 million to the U.S. dollar on informal currency markets. Iran's official Central Bank rate stood at around 1.5 million rial to the dollar, but the informal rate is what most Iranians pay.
In early European trading, Germany's DAX edged 0.1% lower to 26,110.79, while the CAC 40 in Paris also gave up 0.1%, to 8,474.35. Britain's FTSE 100 inched up 0.1% to 10,831.33.
The future for the S&P 500 was down 0.2%, while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1%.

Aug 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. government on Friday finalized a plan to slash water supplies to California, Nevada and Arizona to manage the drought-stricken Colorado River.
The ‌three so-called lower basin states will take around a 21 percent reduction in ‌water from the river in 2027 and 2028, but potential cuts could nearly double in following years, according to the plan signed by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
Arizona and Nevada have said any plan to double the cuts after 2028 would devastate their economies. Arizona has threatened to sue the federal government if it imposed these potential cuts as part of the new 10-year plan.
Colorado, Utah, ‌New Mexico and Wyoming, the ⁠upper basin states, face no mandatory cuts under the plan. The Colorado River provides water to one in 10 Americans, irrigates land producing 15% ⁠of U.S. food output and generates power for 6 million people in seven states.
In three years of failed negotiations between the seven states, upper basin states refused to take cuts, arguing they face automatic cuts in water supply due to the severe drought impacting the U.S. West.
