Upcoming Deadlines for Funding Opportunities
In the Spotlight!
What Does the Inflation Reduction Act Do for State and Local Government?
Carl Smith, Governing
"The bill aims to offset this spending through measures that include a 15 percent minimum tax on corporations with more than $1 billion in profits and prescription drug pricing reform. It hopes to reverse a dramatic decrease in audits of Americans with exceptionally high earnings by investing $80 billion in the IRS. The Senate has projected that these actions will raise $300 billion more than the IRA will spend."
The Etymology of Jaywalking
Sarah Holder, Bloomberg CityLab
"Not long after cars replaced the horse and buggy and started encroaching on city streets, pedestrians started getting blamed for being in the way. The term “jaywalking” — now synonymous with the criminalized act of being in a road outside of a crosswalk — was conjured up in the 1920s by automobile clubs and car manufacturers to solidify a burgeoning cultural understanding that roads were for cars, not people."
