Senate Democrats seek Medicare and Medicaid expansion
Senate liberals push an expansion of Medicare and Medicaid as part of a compromise to drop a government insurance option from health care legislation. The plan would allow near retirees to buy Medicare at 55 or 60 and widen Medicaid to 150 percent of poverty, with private nationwide nonprofit plans under federal oversight as an alternative.

Defense says wife started attack in custody case trial
The defendant argues his wife initiated the assault while his daughter and son participated during a heated custody dispute. The daughter, now 13, testified under immunity that the family plotted to claim the mother attempted murder, with Davis allegedly acting in self defense using a bat. The girl described partial amnesia and noted her father joined the attack at the mother’s house as the jury watched a police interview. Closing arguments were set for today as the son faces a separate juvenile case.

City weighs dual pedestrian path routes to downtown
City staff propose two routes for a new pedestrian path to downtown with motion activated lighting and crossing signals. The plan splits between 12th Street and 14th Street corridors, guided by student input, with costs rising about 200000 and funding hopes from federal grants and CDBG. If funded, construction could start in August and take about 120 days.
