Over all the annual budget is $80,000 in that fund.\u00a0 Funding requests are due on March 1 and October 1, each year.\u00a0 The funding comes from the Hospitality Tax, distributed by the City of Jamestown.<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 An Iowa company is leading a $2 billion effort to capture carbon dioxide from Midwestern ethanol plants and pipe it to North Dakota where it would be buried deep underground. The greenhouse gas is generated during the fermentation process and contributes to climate change when it\u2019s released into the atmosphere. Summit Carbon Solutions says the plan is to gather carbon dioxide from at least 17 ethanol plants and pipe it to North Dakota where it would be injected into wells and stored underground. The carbon dioxide would be compressed into liquid form at the ethanol plants where feeder pipelines would send it to a larger pipeline that would extend across the Upper Midwest to North Dakota.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Drugmaker Merck & Co. will help produce rival Johnson & Johnson\u2019s newly approved coronavirus vaccine in an effort to expand supply more quickly. That’s according to the White House, which said President Joe Biden would address the partnership in a speech Tuesday afternoon. Officials have said J&J faced unexpected production issues with its vaccine and produced only 3.9 million doses ahead of its receiving emergency use authorization on Saturday. The company is on pace to deliver 100 million doses by the end of June. The assistance from Merck was expected to help J&J meet its production commitments and expand supply even further.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(AP)\u00a0 The White House is announcing an increase in available coronavirus vaccines to 15.2 million doses a week, up from 14.5 million. White House press secretary says only 8.6 million doses a week were available when Joe Biden became president in late January. States are receiving 2.8 million doses of the newly approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week. That means a total of 18 million doses will go out this week. Upcoming shipments of the J&J vaccine could be uneven during the next few weeks as the company ramps up production.<\/p>\n

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is facing calls for resignations from some members of his own party as most leading Democrats signal they want to await the results of the attorney general\u2019s investigation into claims the governor sexually harassed aides. As of midday Tuesday, at least one Democratic Congress member, four state senators and numerous left-leaning Assembly members have called on Cuomo to resign. Still, the remaining Democrats in New York\u2019s congressional delegation have refrained from calling on the governor to step down and are urging the public to await the attorney general investigation. Cuomo himself has avoided public appearances for days.<\/p>\n

ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Family members say Vernon Jordan, a civil rights activist and former adviser to President Bill Clinton, has died. His niece, Ann Walker Marchant, confirmed the death to The Associated Press. After stints as field secretary for the Georgia NAACP and executive director of the United Negro College Fund, he became head of the National Urban League, becoming the face of Black America\u2019s modern struggle for jobs and justice for more than a decade. He was nearly killed by a racist\u2019s bullet in 1980 before transitioning to business and politics. His friendship with Clinton took them both to the White House.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
LIBERTY, Mo. (AP) \u2014 A Kansas City police officer who shot and killed a Black man last year will not be charged. The Jackson County prosecutor announced Monday that investigations into the death of 47-year-old Donnie Sanders did not find enough evidence to support charges against the officer, whose name has not been released. Sanders was shot in March 2020 after the officer began following him for alleged traffic violations. The officer confronted Sanders when he got out of his vehicle in an alley. The officer told investigators that he believed Sanders was pointing a gun at him. Investigators determined Sanders did not have a gun.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Democrats are sorting through lingering disagreements over emergency jobless benefits and other issues and preparing to commence Senate debate on a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan. The bill would deliver a major victory to President Joe Biden. Democrats have no margin for error in the evenly split 50-50 Senate, and Biden is expected to urge them on by conference call. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he planned to bring the sweeping bill to the floor as early as Wednesday, teeing up first votes on a bill aimed at energizing the nation\u2019s battle against the pandemic and its wounded economy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Supreme Court appears ready to uphold voting restrictions in Arizona in a key case that could make it harder to challenge a raft of other voting measures Republicans have proposed following last year\u2019s elections. All six conservative justices, appointed by Republican presidents, suggested Tuesday they would throw out an appellate ruling that struck down the restrictions as racially discriminatory under the landmark Voting Rights Act. The three liberal members of the courts, appointed by Democrats, were more sympathetic to the challengers. Less clear is what standard the court might set for how to prove discrimination under the law, first enacted in 1965.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden\u2019s choice to head the Securities and Exchange Commission has told Congress that the agency should address how to protect investors who use online stock-trading platforms with flashy gimmicks that entice them to trade more. Gary Gensler testified by video Tuesday for his confirmation hearing by the Senate Banking Committee. He was asked about the roiling stock-trading drama involving GameStop shares that has spurred clamor for tighter regulation of Wall Street. Among the issues to be examined, he said, is the use of \u201cbehavioral\u201d technology in stock-trading apps. He asked: \u201cWhat does it mean when you have behavioral prompts to get investors to do more transactions?”<\/p>\n

El CENTRO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Authorities say a semitruck has crashed into an SUV carrying 25 people on a Southern California highway, killing 13 people. The head of the California Highway Patrol says 12 people died at the scene Tuesday and another died after arriving at the hospital. Hospital officials earlier reported there were 15 killed and more people in the SUV. Multiple people from the SUV were flown or sent to hospitals for injuries that included fractures and head trauma. Authorities say it\u2019s unclear if the SUV had stopped at a stop sign before crossing into the path of the semitruck, which hit the vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
