She and Bridget went back a couple hours later to retrieve a suitcase and return a parking permit, just as an abnormally high tide was pushing 20-foot swells into the town.In front of their unit, with seawater flowing rapidly over the pavement, Glazer fell in, and was pulled for nearly 15 feet until her daughter, a 15-year-old gymnast and freshman at Prospect High School in San Jose, grabbed her as she was about to be swept over the seawall into the raging ocean.Glazer’s life was safe, but while she had been fighting to stay ashore, she had let go of her new iPhone 14, issued by the San Jos...

Wayne served as co-pilot as long-time animal rescue volunteer Kim Purcell handled the controls in her V-tail bonanza.

DC SNAP recipients are expecting a boost in benefits. They might not get it

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 06:31:51 GMT

D.C. residents receiving government assistance to help buy groceries are supposed to see their benefits boosted heading into 2024 — but now, according to officials, it is unclear if that will happen.For over 145,000 SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients in D.C., the “Give SNAP a Raise” bill passed by the D.C. Council in March was meant to boost benefits by 10% between January and September.The nearly $40 million of funding for that increase comes from the city’s excess revenue, but now, Mayor Muriel Bowser is second-guessing where she wants that money to go.“Should we advance a nine month benefit that goes away? Or should we work on something that’s more sustainable for more people? That’s the question I put to the Council,” Bowser told NBC4.Bowser’s administration cited budgetary and staffing constraints in their push back.Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George, who introduced the bill, released a statement en...
