More cities are hiring than at any time since the Great Recession as the reviving economy and rising property taxes allow higher spending for a second straight year.
Nationwide, state revenue growth in the years first three months rose less than 1 percent from a year earlier, forcing reconsideration -- or abandonment -- of pledges of tax relief.
Governor Peter Shumlin today is to sign a law requiring lenders to be licensed by the state and comply with interest limits and other banking regulations.
Like everyone else who dines at a restaurant in Omaha, Nebraska, Buffett is charged a 2.5 percent tax thats used in part to defray $850 million in unfunded retirement expenses for city workers.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called on fellow U.S. city leaders to tackle a nationwide inequality crisis with policies such as paid sick days and universal pre- kindergarten.
The costs of pensions and other benefits for retired employees are generally growing faster than revenues, crowding out funding for health care, education and infrastructure projects, according to the report.
