Obama Hollande Monticello quip prompts ACA tension
The Monticello visit ended with Obama joking that he can do what he wants, while Washington debates a new ACA revision. The Treasury move exempts firms with 50 to 99 workers until 2016 and requires employers with over 100 workers to cover 70 percent, drawing criticism that only Congress can alter the law. Critics warn the changes stress constitutional checks and market stability, urging repeal or rollback.

A public hearing on swapping the Town Hall for the Afton Inn outlines costs. Proposed plan totals about 4.8 million to residents and businesses, versus a 2.7 million alternative to renovate or buy and sell the Inn. EDA land would stay available for private development, boosting tax rolls. Rhonda 8, North, Front Royal urges citizen input ahead of February 10 council meeting.
