SF SAFEJust a few months later, Worthy was hired as the executive director of SF SAFE, a community violence prevention organization that works closely with SFPD. He also said SF SAFE did not have the district’s 2017 letter to Worthy and “would not have hired her” if it did. In her five years at SF SAFE, Worthy is accused of having misspent more than $700,000 in funds. The audit prompted Worthy’s firing and the shutdown of SF SAFE. In March, the group announced that SF SAFE owed it $625,000 for training services.

When I first contacted Google, it advised that you use the “feedback” button, which appears at the bottom of search results. Please include a daytime phone number.

Insurance companies often heavily market their Medicare Advantage plans, and offer extra benefits like dental and vision insurance. Because of the initial appeal of Medicare Advantage plans, over half of people eligible for Medicare opted for a Medicare Advantage plan in 2023. But there’s a major drawback to Medicare Advantage plans: they lock patients into a preferred network of doctors and hospitals, narrowing options for treatment. Driving the effort was concern among legislators that California seniors on Medicare Advantage plans were facing fewer and fewer choices in their networks. Dambowic has a Medicare Advantage plan, and for the moment, she is satisfied with her network choices.

Kerry Katona's Payday Loan Ad Sparks Controversy And Regulatory Backlash The Advertising Standards Authority bans Cash Lady campaign for promoting irresponsible borrowing amidst celebrity influenceIn a striking move that has drawn both criticism and attention, former pop star Kerry Katona’s payday loan advertisement has been banned for being inappropriate and misleading. Critics, including various debt charities, have expressed alarm that the ad might encourage vulnerable audiences to naively use payday loans, which are notorious for their exorbitantly high interest rates. Modeling her role after a true-to-life experience, Katona’s placement in the ad was defended by Cash Lady. Authorities have expressed intentions to reform the payday loan industry, particularly in terms of advertising regulations. The prominent nature of the payday loan industry, paired with its challenges, has created an urgent cry for legislative review and consumer protection.

The olive oil crisis has been ongoing for some time - extreme weather has impacted production (particularly in the Mediterranean) which has lead to a worldwide shortage. As a result of the crisis, the cost of olive oil has more than doubled since 2018. These included cases in which "olive oil" products had been contaminated with substances such as pesticides, mineral oils and glass, as well as the mislabelling of "extra virgin" olive oil mixed with cheaper quality oils (such as lampante oil, which can be unfit for human consumption if not properly refined). What is perhaps the most concerning for consumers is the risk that products labelled "olive oil" could be contaminated with substances unfit for consumption. With a view of providing consumers with good-quality olive oil in the EU, the commission organises annual workshops and fosters collaboration between EU countries to ensure that these checks are correctly implemented and ensures the exchange of relevant information for those working on olive oil.
