City Council Regular Meeting - Dec 04 2023

 

 

 



 

Stocks are closing lower on Wall Street. The S&P 500 finished just over ten-percent off of its record close to end the day in market correction territory. It's after President Trump threatened more tariffs against the European Union.        The Trump administration is being ordered by a federal judge to "immediately" reinstate some fired federal employees. A judge found the firing of probationary employees from six federal agencies last month to be unlawful. He said the Office of Personnel Management and its acting director did not have the authority to issue the directive to fire the workers.        Russia's president is agreeing "in principle" with a ceasefire plan. During a press briefing today President Putin said the proposal needs to "lead to an enduring peace and should remove the root causes of this crisis." This as U.S. officials traveled to Moscow today to discuss a possible ceasefire with Russian officials.        The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to let it end birthright citizenship. The request was made in a series of emergency appeals on Thursday. It argues that lower courts went too far when they handed down nationwide injunctions that blocked the policy.        A Connecticut woman faces multiple charges for allegedly holding her stepson captive for 20 years. Kimberly Sullivan was taken into custody on Tuesday and faced a judge in Waterbury. A police investigation revealed the victim, now 31-years-old, had been "enduring prolonged abuse, starvation, severe neglect and inhumane treatment."        "Novocaine" is on track to take the top spot at the box office this weekend. The action-comedy starring Jack Quaid is projected to make between ten and 12-million-dollars in its debut. That should be enough to dethrone "Mickey 17," which will make around eight to nine-million in its sophomore outing.
