Reagan eases firing deadline for some air controllers
As Reagan’s 11 am ultimatum neared, officials announced a slight easing for morning shift controllers who may report Thursday without penalty. Most others must show for work now or face dismissal, with noncompliance risking permanent federal employment bans. PATCO claims 13,000 of 17,000 strikers remain united as FAA reports a partial shift increase and widespread flight cancellations continue nationwide.

The Cost of Political Signs in Local Speech Battles
A lawyer estimates legal costs from $2,500 to $10,000 to challenge political sign bans in common pleas court. He notes a 1987 South Euclid case and a 1960 Elyria case where residents fought restrictions, with higher costs if an appeal ensues. Despite high court protections, many communities and officials still ban signs, risking constitutional clashes and personal expense.
