Governor Jim Pillen opposes the EPIC tax, calling it unworkable and advocating for a balanced approach to property tax relief. Former State Sen.

Police say they prevented multiple attacks after discovery of weapons cache in Larnaca grave
Cypriot police arrested two men in Oroklini and seized a cache of weapons, including a G3 military rifle, explosives, and ammunition buried in a grave. The G3 rifle, possibly of Turkish origin, raised suspicions about the suspects’ intentions. The suspects were apprehended while transporting some of the arsenal, which included an RPG launcher, various explosives, pistols, a hunting rifle, bullet propellants, and ammunition. Authorities believe the group may have been planning criminal acts based on the weapons seized. Both suspects are in police custody, and forensic examinations will determine if the items have been used in any crimes.

Other View: Biden tax plan would pummel average Americans
President Joe Biden’s 2025 budget blueprint includes plans to increase corporate taxes, which could ultimately cost low- and middle-income Americans more money than if their income tax rates were raised. The budget calls for record spending, soaring debt, and trillion-dollar deficits, despite promises not to increase taxes on those earning less than 0,000 a year. The plan is similar to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ approach and aims to target corporations, but economists argue that corporations pass on tax costs to consumers, impacting employees and investors, including those with pension plans and retirement accounts. Republicans may use these economic realities in the upcoming campaign.
