Five Things You Need To Know This Week, June 29, 2009

1. In the Nation:

A day after strongly praising energy legislation passed by the House, President Obama on Sunday spoke out against a provision in the bill that would impose trade penalties on countries that do not accept global-warming pollution limits.

2. In the State:

With just days left until the new fiscal year begins, state budget talks stalled over expanded gambling. If lawmakers cannot work out an agreement by a deadline that could potentially stretch to July 1 or 2, they will need to pass an interim budget for the first time in 18 years.  http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories

3. In the Region:

Despite collecting slightly less money than a year ago, United Way of Greater Lorain County announced Friday it is distributing the same amount of money to program services as it did in 2008.

4. At Community Solutions: 

Our team is keeping a close eye on the state budget debate, which must be resolved by Tuesday night. Implications for health and social services programs are drastic. Please visit the "What's New" section on our Website homepage for updates on proposed tax breaks, TANF, smoking cessation funding, health care, jobs, and more.

 

5. Miscellaneous:

Starting this week, anyone with a federal student loan can apply for a program that caps monthly payments based on income, and forgives remaining balances after 25 years.
