J.D. Vance's American dream doesn't include people like me
As I watched Vance on that Milwaukee stage sell the American dream to me and the thousands watching, for a moment, I bought it. I’m not the only Latine immigrant who still believes in the American dream. But here are some reasons why Trump-Vance’s version of the American Dream doesn’t benefit Latines, especially if you are an immigrant, documented or not. Acceptance into my program meant that I had security, health care and a future to pursue my version of the American dream. Trump and Vance’s version of the American dream doesn’t make space for Latines.

By Jacques Billeaud, The Associated PressPHOENIX — Former President Donald Trump’s campaign attorney Jenna Ellis, who worked closely with Rudy Giuliani, will cooperate with Arizona prosecutors in exchange for charges being dropped against her in a fake electors case, the state attorney general’s office announced Monday. Ellis has previously pleaded not guilty to fraud, forgery and conspiracy charges in the Arizona case. Prosecutors have already asked a court to dismiss the Arizona charges against Ellis. The Associated Press left messages with Ellis’ attorney, Matthew Brown, after the agreement was announced Monday. Trump himself was not charged in the Arizona case but was referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator in the indictment.

Property valuations freeze could be ‘backup plan’ during Nebraska’s tax-focused special session
(Zach Wendling/Nebraska Examiner)LINCOLN — Freezing property valuations or increasing income tax credits could be a “backup plan” should Nebraska lawmakers fail to pass significant property tax relief this summer. Brewer’s Legislative Bill 34 would freeze property valuations for four years, while Brandt’s LB 33 would increase refundable income tax credits by $600 million, up to $1.16 billion. “This is the most reasonable backup plan, and that’s why I went with it.”Pillen has remained firm that he believes the property tax “crisis” is not a valuation problem but a spending problem. Mike McDonnell, John Cavanaugh and Kathleen Kauth, along with Brandt, have more targeted legislation to address or exempt property based on valuations. Unlike Pillen’s LB 1, the “alternative” proposal would reduce maximum school tax rates, over a decade, by 80 cents.
