Pennsylvania holds literal roll of the dice for election audits
Pennsylvania's election leaders do this after every election: they audit a random sample of election results, examining them carefully to make sure there are no irregularities.
So, how do they choose the sample? Well, it's almost like a low-tech lottery drawing.
One volunteer after another rolled the dice and the Department of State recorded the dice-roll results, which correspond to which election results will get an extra-close look.
'This is our sixth statewide risk-limiting audit since the 2022 general election,' Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said. 'RLAs are proven to be the highest standard of comprehensive election audits because the RLA process provides a statistically sound, scientific method for confirming, with a high degree of confidence, that the reported outcome of the audited election is accurate.'

New Hampshire is expanding school choice. Will Massachusetts follow?
Advertisement This surge in school choice is part of a broader national trend. Enrollment in such programs has more than doubled since 2020 — from roughly 540,000 to more than Massachusetts, home to some of the nation's strongest private, parochial, charter, and vocational-technical schools, is increasingly being left behind, politically unwilling and legally constrained from offering families access to private options. The catalyst for this wave of private options was the US Supreme Court's 2020 decision in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue. The court Advertisement Her story resonated nationwide, particularly during the pandemic. The move to online learning by public schools, union resistance to returning students to the classroom, and a seeming disregard for students' mental health and learning loss drove many families toward private and homeschool options. Even in Massachusetts, Massachusetts may remain among the top-performing states nationally, but that status masks a troubling decline. On the National Assessment of Educational Progress (the nation's report card), average eighth-grade The pandemic and student distraction due to cellphones are partially to blame, but the decline is Clearly there is a hunger for options other than traditional public school. Advertisement New Hampshire's latest choice expansion is relevant to Massachusetts because, in addition to the two states' cultural and demographic similarities, they post nearly identical academic performance. On the 2024 NAEP, New Hampshire eighth-graders scored averages of 280 in As student performance declines, Massachusetts lawmakers remain committed to a top-down, monopolistic education system. They refuse to consider private school choice, hiding behind 19th-century anti-Catholic amendments in the state constitution that prohibit public funds from flowing to religious schools, even indirectly. At the same time, lawmakers have stood by as the pillars of the Commonwealth's landmark 1993 education reforms — strong academic standards, accountability through testing, and choice through charter schools — have steadily eroded. New Hampshire is taking a more pragmatic approach: It is steadily expanding school choice with thoughtful fiscal safeguards and a clear focus on helping the students most in need. As a result, many more New Hampshire parents will now be able to narrow class- and race-based achievement gaps — whether through public or private schools, the small learning groups called The recently passed 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' President Trump's massive tax and spending plan, enacts the first national school choice program, offering scholarships funded through tax credits to all but the wealthiest families. Starting in 2027, taxpayers nationwide will be able to redirect up to $1,700 in federal taxes to approved scholarship organizations. Advertisement The program could benefit many of the 120,000 families in Massachusetts paying a private school tuition, or using homeschool and microschool options, which grew enormously during the pandemic. Expanding its appeal further, the program benefits families paying for after-school supplemental learning, including tutoring. The catch? States must opt in. For now, Massachusetts officials say they are For the dozens of states with school choice programs, including New Hampshire, the pathway forward is clear: Private school choice has broad public support and expands equality of educational opportunity. What will Massachusetts do?

Volunteers give Portage's Prairie Duneland Trail foliage a trim
Workers from Thieneman Construction and Commonwealth Engineers took a break Friday from working on projects at Portage's wastewater treatment plant to attack overgrown vegetation along the Prairie Duneland Trail. 'It was a little daunting,' said Mark Hall, north office area manager with Thieneman, when he and Park Superintendent Kelly Smith drove down the trail a month ago to gauge the scope of the work. But about 50 volunteers tackled the project, trimming branches along about two miles of the trail. 'One of the guys brought a battery-powered chainsaw' and several batteries to swap out during the day, Hall said. He used a gas-powered hedge trimmer on smaller branches while Andrew Kreps used a gas-powered pole saw. Hall's son, Matt Hall, drove a skid steer to gather branches so they could be loaded into a dump truck to be hauled away. 'At one time, we had three or four dump trucks running,' Mark said. 'Our company is big into volunteering,' said Dave Kreps, taking a short break from loading branches onto the skid steer and mashing them down so Matt could see where he was going. 'I've done this trail once from Chesterton to Hobart,' riding a bike alongside his wife, Kreps said. That sounds like a long ride, but it was even longer because he had to return to the car in Chesterton after getting to Hobart. 'With a big bike ride like this, we get a big Dairy Queen treat,' he said. At Portage's wastewater treatment plant, Kreps is helping install new equipment. The city's crew there are 'the best people I've ever worked with,' he said. Utilities Superintendent Tracie Marshall returned the compliment. 'They're like family,' she said. 'They came and did the work. If there was a problem, they came and told me when it was fixed.' The city is on a long-overdue spending spree for its wastewater treatment system, spending $14 million on new clarifiers and a solar array at the plant and $31 million this year on a north side interceptor – think of it as a giant artery transporting wastewater to the heart of the system, the treatment plant – along with lift stations in the field and an ultraviolet treatment system at the plant. 'We do a lot of work with Portage,' Mark Hall said, so the company wanted to find a way to give back to the city. Gabrielle Taber, Commonwealth's director of Indiana business development operations, said her company feels the same way. 'We picked a very good day to do this,' with a break from the hotter weather earlier this month, she said. 'It was a great turnout. It really was,' Taber said, allowing the volunteers to finish a couple of hours early. Along with Thieneman and Commonwealth, the city had crews from the treatment plant, field services and park department there. Portage Township Trustee Brendan Clancy sent workers and equipment after seeing a call for volunteers posted. Marshall and Smith worked together to come up with the trail cleanup project. 'We're overworked,' Smith said. 'We have five full-time employees. We have 19 parks.' 'We will never turn away help,' she said of volunteers offering their service to the parks. 'There's never a lack of things to do.' Figuring 50 working putting in six hours Friday, that's 300 hours of volunteer work, 'a value right under $10,000,' not counting the equipment they brought, Smith said. 'A lot of time our work is reactive because we are so small,' she said. After receiving calls about the need to trim vegetation along the trail, she knew this was the right project for Thieneman and Commonwealth. 'We're overwhelmed with gratitude. Truly,' Smith said.

Buried in Trump's beautiful bill is a new $250 fee on travelers to the U.S. Estimates project it could cut the federal deficit by nearly $30 billion
A provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act states all visitors who need nonimmigrant visas to enter the U.S.—tourists, business travelers and international students, to name a few—must pay a 'visa integrity fee,' currently priced at $250. Travelers who comply with their visa conditions will be eligible for reimbursement. The provision is estimated to bring in $28.9 billion over the next decade. Visitors to the United States will need to pay a new fee to enter the country, according to the Trump administration's recently enacted bill. A provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act states all visitors who need nonimmigrant visas to enter the U.S.—tourists, business travelers and international students, to name a few—must pay a 'visa integrity fee,' currently priced at $250. The fee cannot be waived or reduced, but travelers are able to get their fees reimbursed, the provision states. All told, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the new fee could cut the federal deficit by $28.9 billion over the next ten years. During the same period, the CBO expects the Department of the State to issue about 120 million nonimmigrant visas. In 2023 alone, more than 10.4 million nonimmigrants were issued visas, according to DOS data. CBO expects a 'small number' of people will seek reimbursement, as many nonimmigrant visas are valid for several years. CBO also expects the Department of State would need several years to implement a process for providing reimbursements. Still, the fee could generate billions, the agency estimates. The fee is set at $250 during the U.S. fiscal year 2025, which ends Sept. 30, and must be paid when the visa is issued, according to the provision. The secretary of Homeland Security can set the current fee higher, the provision states. During each subsequent fiscal year, the fee will be adjusted for inflation. Those eligible for reimbursement are visa holders who comply with conditions of the visa, which include not accepting unauthorized employment or not overstaying their visa validity date by more than five days, according to the provision. Senior Equity Analyst at CFRA Research Ana Garcia told Fortune in an email she expects the 'vast majority' of affected travelers to be eligible for reimbursement, as historical U.S. Congressional Research Service data indicates that only 1% to 2% of nonimmigrant visitors overstayed their visas between 2016 and 2022. 'The fee's design as a refundable security deposit, contingent upon visa compliance, should mitigate concerns among legitimate travelers.' Garcia wrote. Reimbursements will be made after the travel visa expires, the provision said. Any fees not reimbursed will be deposited into America's Checkbook, or the General Fund of the Government. What's unclear is the effective date of the 'visa integrity fee.' Steven A. Brown, a partner at the Houston-based immigration law firm Reddy Neumann Brown PC, wrote in a post on his firm's website the fee's 'specific start dates have not yet been confirmed.' Brown points out that the fee is an add-on to others already required by U.S. travelers. 'For example, an H-1B worker already paying a $205 application fee may now expect to pay a total of $455 once this fee is in place,' Brown wrote. Most travelers are also required to pay a fee that comes with submitting a Form 1-94 arrival and departure record. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act increased this charge from $6 to $24. CFRA's Garcia expects demand to be unmoved by the fee, considering 'higher-income' consumers comprise the majority of international leisure and business travelers to the U.S. 'For affluent travelers, the additional $250 represents a manageable increment relative to overall trip costs,' Garcia wrote. 'The fee structure appears strategically designed to enhance compliance rather than broadly restrict travel.' This story was originally featured on Solve the daily Crossword
