Corporation (JSDC) Board of Directors has approved submitting \u00a0an application for a $68,750 federal government Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan designed to aid non-profit organizations that face economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JSDC Business Development Director, Corry Shevlin said,\u00a0 if approved, the money would be provided as a one percent loan. The Repayment of the loan may be waived in the future.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the Board \u00a0of Directors has approved the preliminary 2022 budget of about $50,000 less than the 2021 budget. \u00a0\u00a0The budget decrease stems for the most part from combining an administrative assistant position with the financial director position. That, according to JSDC, CEO, Connie Ova.<\/p>\n<p>In other business, the JSDC Board \u00a0approved funding for the program to share costs with businesses hiring interns in the coming year, \u00a0funded at $105,000, which will be further reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>Corry added that the JSDC Board of Directors approved returning to in-person meetings starting \u00a0April 12 this year. \u00a0He said, the meetings will be initially held at the Quality Inn and Suites to observe social distancing.

(AP) \u2014 North Dakota law enforcement agencies are urging state lawmakers to support a bill that would enact harsher penalties for drug traffickers if a death results from the sale of their drugs. Police chiefs and law enforcement associations told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that stiffer penalties are needed, especially as such fatalities mount across the state. The proposed legislation would make it a Class A felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison for someone convicted of trafficking drugs that cause a death. The current penalty is a lower felony charge punishable by up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota Senate has sent a wind power regulation bill to Gov. Doug Burgum\u2019s desk for his signature. The legislation allows the Public Service Commission to waive a requirement that wind farms install technology to mitigate the red lights on top of the turbines that blink all night. The Minot Air Base had expressed concerns about the technology because it flies hundreds of helicopter missions each year to intercontinental ballistic missile sites, some near the turbines. The military, in part, was concerned the blinking lights could tip off an enemy to a helicopter\u2019s location if the country would come under attack.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D.

The North Dakota House last week removed Republican Rep. Luke Simons, of Dickinson, over sexual harassment allegations they said stretched back to soon after he took office in 2017. Simons has denied any misconduct and retained an attorney. District 36 Republican Chairman John Enderle told reporters that appointing a state representative to replace Simons is \u201cup to Luke,\u201d referring to any action the lawmaker might take in an effort to retain his seat. The Bismarck Tribune reports that Enderle called the expulsion an \u201catrocity\u201d and \u201ckangaroo court.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In sports&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Wed.

The House approved the bill Wednesday over solid Republican opposition in a vote that gives the new president and Democrats a victory just seven weeks after he took office. The 628-page measure represents Democrats\u2019 effort to bridle the catastrophic pandemic and revive the enfeebled economy. Republicans say the measure is bloated, crammed with liberal policies and heedless of signs the dual crises are easing. The Senate passed the measure over unanimous Republican opposition four days ago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The House has passed a sweeping pandemic relief package over Republican opposition. The bill now goes to President Joe Biden for his signature. The $1.9 trillion bill provides direct payments of up to $1,400 for most Americans, extends emergency unemployment benefits and boosts spending for COVID-19 vaccines and testing. It also provides billions to states and cities, schools and ailing industries. Democrats say their \u201cAmerican Rescue Plan\u201d will help the country defeat the virus and nurse the economy back to health. Republicans criticize the measure as more expensive than necessary and that it sends money to projects not directly tied to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The U.S. government\u2019s budget deficit through February hit an all-time high of $l.05 trillion for the first five months of a budget year. The red ink pooled as spending to deal with the coronavirus pandemic surged at a pace far above the increase in tax revenue. The Treasury Department reported Wednesday that the October through February deficit was 68% larger than the $624.5 billion deficit recorded during the same period last year. It easily surpassed the previous five-month deficit of $652 billion set in 2010 when the government was spending to try to lift the country out of a deep recession caused by the 2008 financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Senate has confirmed Marcia Fudge to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This places the longtime Ohio lawmaker in charge of the agency just as Congress is poised to pass new benefits for renters and homeowners who have suffered economic losses amid the coronavirus pandemic. Fudge, who has represented parts of Cleveland and Akron in the House since 2008, is a former mayor and a longtime advocate for assistance for the needy. She said at her confirmation hearing that her first priority would be protecting the millions of people who have fallen behind on rent or mortgages due to loss of income during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 An expert on Georgia\u2019s racketeering law was sworn in Wednesday to help the prosecutor who\u2019s investigating potential efforts by former President Donald Trump and others to influence last year\u2019s general election. A spokesman for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis says she&#8217;s engaged John Floyd to serve as a special assistant district attorney. He&#8217;ll be able to work with lawyers in her office on any cases involving allegations of racketeering. In letters sent to state officials last month asking them to preserve evidence for her investigation into potential attempts to influence last year\u2019s election, Willis mentioned racketeering as one of the possible violations of Georgia law she was examining.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 Alabama is the second state to sue the U.S. Census Bureau to speed up the redistricting process. Alabama has also asked a panel of federal judges to stop the bureau from using a controversial technique to manipulate its data. The Census is trying to stop data companies from matching people to confidential information they give the bureau. But it&#8217;s doing that by rearranging their information within a state. Alabama says that means certain neighborhoods are reporting no African-American adults, and others no adults, period. The state alleges that will lead to unconstitutional districts and chaos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; .TONIGHT&#8230;Cloudy.
