He and hundreds of other students, faculty, parents and children gathered together walking hand in hand all with a message rooted in unity amid a dark reality.

Tax deadline one week away for San Diegans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:15:24 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- If you live in San Diego County, next Monday, Oct. 16 is the deadline to file your state and federal taxes.“If you don’t file by Monday, there’s a late filing penalty associated with not filing a return correctly and that penalty is not going to get waived,” said Sam Brotman, managing attorney at Brotman Law.Harsh winter storms led to the six-month extension. The extension applied to almost all counties across California, including San Diego. It was meant to give taxpayers time to recover from any damage and to claim any deductions for disaster loss.Brotman says whether you make the deadline or not, accuracy will help you avoid an audit.“If it’s a choice between just turning something in and or filing something that’s going to be accurate, you probably want to take the penalty and wait to file something that’s accurate,” he said.

Gov. Newsom signs bill to ban hidden fees in California

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:15:24 GMT

Hidden fees, which sellers use to mislead customers with an artificially low headline price before imposing additional unavoidable charges later in the buying process, will no longer be allowed in California.Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 478 (SB 478) that will ban hidden fees, or "junk fees," in the state starting on July 1, 2024, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a news release Saturday.“These deceptive fees prevent us from knowing how much we will be charged at the outset. They are bad for consumers and bad for competition. They cost Americans tens of billions of dollars each year," Bonta said.Bonta added that these fees "hit families who are just trying to make ends meet the hardest."

In Poland, church and state draw nearer, and some Catholic faithful rebel

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:15:24 GMT

CZESTOCHOWA, Poland (AP) — Dominika Gala grew up going to Mass with her grandmother and attending Catholic school in Warsaw. After her grandmother’s death in 2010, she began to drift away from the church.A decade later, when the Catholic leadership backed a near-total abortion ban in Poland, Gala made her fervent disagreement clear. She formally left the church in October 2020, just weeks after Poland’s top court closed a major loophole in the country’s abortion laws that were already among the strictest in Europe. She has since helped her mother and several friends leave, and now helps lead a civic initiative to limit religion’s role in public life.“There’s a strong link between the church and the bad things happening in Polish politics,” Gala, now an atheist, told The Associated Press. As Law and Justice seeks an unprecedented third-straight term in the Oct. 15 parliamentary election, the conservative, nationalist ruling party is trying to bolster its image as a defender of Christ...

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli warplanes pounded downtown Gaza City, home to Hamas’ centers of government, with relentless bombardments into early Tuesday, after Israel’s prime minister vowed retaliation against the Islamic militant group that would “reverberate for generations.”The 4-day-old war has already claimed at least 1,600 lives, as Israel saw gun battles in the streets of its own towns for the first time in decades and neighborhoods in Gaza were reduced to rubble. Hamas also escalated the conflict, pledging to kill captured Israelis if strikes targeted civilians without warning. Israel said that Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza are holding more than 150 soldiers and civilians snatched from inside Israel after the attack caught its vaunted military and intelligence apparatus completely off guard.The Israeli military said it had largely gained control in the south and “restored full control” over the border.

TORONTO (AP) — Auto workers walked off the job at three General Motors facilities in Canada early Tuesday after failing to reach agreement with the automaker. Their union, Unifor, represents more than 4,200 workers at the plants. They had warned they would begin a strike if no agreement was struck with GM by midnight local time.

The company knows our members will never let GM break our pattern — not today — not ever,” Unifor President Lana Payne said in a statement. She said GM was not meeting the union’s demands for pensions, support for retired workers and steps to transition temporary workers to permanent, full-time jobs.
