However, the Fed is expected to cut its target rate next week, so now could be your last chance to lock in a competitive rate.CD rates vary widely across financial institutions, so it’s important to ensure you’re getting the best rate possible when shopping around for a CD. The following is a breakdown of CD rates today and where to find the best offers.Overview of CD rates todayHistorically, longer-term CDs offered higher…

The automobile got its first taste of blood 125 years ago today — and it’s never been able to kick the habit.Coverage as far away as Illinois focused on the coming lethal threat of the automobile.On the evening of Sept. 13, 1899 — 125 years ago today — taxi cab driver Arthur Smith struck Manhattan resident Henry Hale Bliss on Central Park West, making him the first victim of a fatal car crash in the Western Hemisphere.”The automobile has tasted blood,” wrote the Alton (Illinois) Evening Telegraph, pivoting to prescience: “It is now an engine of death.”An engine of death.

To MAGA-era conservatives, there is no crime more unforgivable than for a traditional, Reagan-era Republican to endorse voting for Vice President Kamala Harris. You won’t find any such endorsement here: I care less about whom you’re voting for than you should care about for whom I’m casting my ballot.Of course Harris can’t keep the price of food and clothing down by setting up a ridiculous “price gouging” law (and if she could, why hasn’t the Biden/Harris administration done so yet?).

I am writing today to support the Ad Valorem Tax Exemption (AVT) that will appear on our November ballots. Passage of this would extend the county’s 30-year use of this tool to bring and keep attractive businesses right here in our backyard. This 10-year renewal of the existing, very successful 30-year program will continue to attract future businesses to our very special county.I think most people would agree that good companies offering good jobs is a great foundation for a good and strong economy. So that raises a question. How do we, in Brevard County, compete with cities and counties…
