San Diego County Joins California’s ‘Sanctuary-State’ Revolt

(Worthy News) – San Diego County, California’s second-most populous county, on Tuesday joined at least a dozen other municipalities in supporting the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state over its so-called “sanctuary” law.

The county’s all-Republican Board of Supervisors discussed the issue in a closed session Tuesday and afterward announced that it had voted in favor of supporting the Justice Department’s lawsuit against the state law.

The law in question, SB54, officially titled the California Values Act, limits cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. The vote was 3-1, with one supervisor absent. [ Source: Washington Free Beacon (Read More…) ]

Trump’s Tax Reform Law is Fueling a Positive Economic Outlook in the States

Trump’s Tax Reform Law is Fueling a Positive Economic Outlook in the States

(Worthy News) – Less than six months old, the tax reform law championed by President Donald Trump is already fueling an increasingly positive economic outlook for state governments across the country.

A new report released Tuesday by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) found that closed loopholes and deductions at the federal level are resulting in increased revenue at the state level, which when invested properly could provide for greater economic dividends down the line.

The report, titled Rich States, Poor States, is published annually and examines the latest developments in state economic growth, outlook, and competitiveness utilizing 15 equally weighted policy variables. The report found that states with lower tax burdens, decreased pension liabilities, and limited regulatory structures rank highest in economic outlook.

Iranian-Backed ‘Sleeper Cell’ Militants Hibernating in U.S., Positioned for Attack

Iranian-Backed ‘Sleeper Cell’ Militants Hibernating in U.S., Positioned for Attack

(Worthy News) – Iranian-backed militants are operating across the United States mostly unfettered, raising concerns in Congress and among regional experts that these “sleeper cell” agents are poised to launch a large-scale attack on the American homeland, according to testimony before lawmakers.

Iranian agents tied to the terror group Hezbollah have already been discovered in the United States plotting attacks, giving rise to fears that Tehran could order a strike inside America should tensions between the Trump administration and Islamic Republic reach a boiling point.

Intelligence officials and former White House officials confirmed to Congress on Tuesday that such an attack is not only plausible, but relatively easy for Iran to carry out at a time when the Trump administration is considering abandoning the landmark nuclear deal and reapplying sanctions on Tehran.

Appeals court calls Ohio’s Planned Parenthood defunding unconstitutional

(Worthy News) – A three-judge panel in a federal appeals court said Wednesday that Ohio’s defunding of Planned Parenthood is unconstitutional.

It unanimously upheld a lower court decision that Republican Gov. John Kasich and GOP lawmakers, who are supportive of abortion restrictions, acted unconstitutionally to end $1.5 million in annual state funding for Planned Parenthood. The decision by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Cincinnati, bans the Ohio Department of Health from enforcing the law denying funding to the organization.

The law, enacted in 2016, has been on hold since May 2016 following a decision by U.S. District Court Judge Michael Barrett which found the law unconstitutional. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
