Local high schooler designs Allegheny County's "I voted n'at" sticker
A Mt. Lebanon High School student has been seen all over Allegheny County — at least her artwork. If you voted and were handed an "I voted n'at!" sticker, the sticker you got was designed by her.
Last winter, Molly Bozick entered an Allegheny County contest. On Tuesday, her design made its debut.
"So, where did the design idea come from?" KDKA-TV's Barry Pintar reports.
"So I wanted to combine the traditional aspects, like the red, white and blue, "I voted," with something unique to Allegheny County and Pittsburgh and I thought a lot about different symbols of our city. So I had like bridges, inclines, Heinz Ketchup, and ultimately, I decided on Pittsburgh-ese, 'n'at,' and then the Pittsburgh colors too."

Voters had 10 finalists to choose from, and over 13,000 votes were cast.
"I think it's good for youth to be involved in elections and voting and that sort of thing and I think this brings out that interest," said voter Lisa Locasto.
While there was no prize money, Bozick says the competition has made her think more about voting in the future when she's old enough.
"It's definitely given me more insight into local elections, because usually people just think about national stuff, like what's going on with the president and Congress and stuff, but I feel like, especially local stuff and counties, it's really important," she said.
Bozick says she doesn't want to go into politics, but she may want to go into law.

Trump's tariffs have meant a boom in business for one Pennsylvania-based toy manufacturer
Something rare is happening in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, about an hour outside of Philadelphia. The Rodon Group, a privately held plastics injection molding company, is doing what only a few manufacturers in the US are equipped to do: They are making toys. The facility produces billions of plastic parts every year, among which include window parts, beverage caps, swabs for COVID-19 tests, and, perhaps most iconic, K'nex toy sets. Michael Araten is the President and CEO of The Rodon Group, which his family founded in 1956. For Araten, the uncertainty surrounding President Trump's tariffs has meant one thing, business is booming. "Our phone's ringing off the hook, email's up, everything, because people are in panic mode. It reminds me very much of the pandemic, where it's a supply shock." Since Mr. Trump first announced tariffs, Araten has seen demand increase by nearly 50%. The surge comes as consumers strive to navigate the ever-changing tariff landscape. A U.S. agreement with China, announced in early May by the White House, would effectively reduce the level of U.S. taxes still in place on Chinese goods to about 30% from 145%. China meanwhile, has agreed to cut its tariffs on American goods to 10% from 125%. Despite the agreement, there is still massive uncertainty surrounding Mr. Trump's tariffs. China said the Trump administration is undermining the temporary trade agreement between the two nations by issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China and planning to revoke Chinese student visas. But the uncertainty isn't just coming from China. The U.S. Court of International Trade last month permanently blocked Mr. Trump's 10% tariff assessed on virtually every U.S. trading partner, as well as the president's duties on imports from Mexico, Canada and China. However, a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., temporarily halted the federal trade court's decision, for now reinstating the levies imposed by the president under an emergency powers law. If the tariffs do go into effect, Areton believes that a 30% levy is still too high and that the tariffs could impact supplies this holiday season. According to a statement from the United States Toy Association, 77% of toys sold in the United States are made in China. Major toymaker Basic Fun!, which manufacturers toys like Lincoln Logs, Tonka Trucks and Care Bears, told CBS News it halted the production of all its toys manufactured in China when tariffs went up to 145%, but restarted everything when the tariffs dropped back to 30%. However, the toymaker still expects prices to go up by 10% to 15% later this year. The Rodon Group has avoided the tariff chaos by using automation to keep production of K'nex toys stateside. The company invested in robots in the 1980s that "did almost nothing, but could pick stuff up," Aretan said. Over the last four decades, the company has continued to invest in robotics, which allowed it to take the advantage away from offshore manufacturers, where labor costs are lower. According to Araten, an employee at the Rodon Group is able to accomplish what 150 workers overseas are able to accomplish. However, despite believing in automation, Araten says that domestic production will only work if the United States invests in its workforce. "It's automation and STEM education. It's that combination. You're going to need talented people," insisted Araten from his factory floor. "That's what we need to invest in, and that takes time. But whenever we put our mind to something as a nation, we've done it."

Pennsylvania House advances bills to let child sexual abuse victims sue despite time limits
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Proposals that would let survivors of childhood sexual abuse file lawsuits in Pennsylvania beyond the state's current statute of limitations passed the state House on Monday, the latest development in a yearslong lobbying campaign. One of the two bills is a common piece of legislation that now heads to the GOP-controlled Senate for consideration. It passed the House 122-80, with Democrats voting unanimously for it while a majority of Republicans were opposed. The other piece of legislation moves the state closer to putting a constitutional amendment about the issue before voters, which would require three more legislative votes before the statewide referendum. That bill passed the House 138-64, again with unified Democrats. 'This is about a group of survivors who have been denied access to our court system,' Democratic Rep. Nate Davidson said during debate. 'And we have the opportunity to finally get it right.' Davidson is a primary sponsor of the legislation. The same pair of proposals received House approval more than two years ago, but died without action in the state Senate. Support for allowing abuse victims more time to sue gained momentum after a landmark grand jury report in 2018 about child abuse over many decades by Roman Catholic clergy in Pennsylvania.

Big Budget Bill Triple Whammy: Energy Prices, Economy, And Environment
The Reconciliation Bill (also known as the 'One Big Beautiful Bill') was passed by the US House of Representatives by one vote. It proposes to eliminate tax credits and other funding for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy. According to a Princeton University energy policy report, the House-passed version of the Bill, currently under consideration in the Senate, raises three red flags: for our household energy bills, our economy, and our environment. The House bill would raise US household and business energy expenditures by 25 billion USD annually in 2030 and over 50 billion USD in 2035. An average household will see a rise in energy costs of $100-$160 per year in 2030, and between $270 and $415 per year in 2035. This amounts to a 9% average rise in energy prices across the 2030 — but as much as 17% in TX, OK and PA. The energy price increases come at a time when more than a third of Americans are struggling to afford their power bill. The situation is worse for renters and those making under $50,000 per year, nearly one-half of whom struggle to pay their electric bills (compared to about a third in 2023), according to the electric utility industry group Energy Central. The increase in household energy expenditures is because the Reconciliation Bill would repeal most financial incentives for building renewable electricity sources like solar, wind, and battery storage, which now generate electricity cheaper than do fossil fuels. Older folks may remember when the Japanese beat out American auto manufacturers because the US companies refused to recognize the burgeoning demand for smaller vehicles. The House version of the Reconciliation Bill will help America repeat this mistake. While Chinese manufacturer BYD is moving ahead with inexpensive, high quality EVs, the Reconciliation Bill could reduce annual US sales of electric vehicles by roughly 40% in 2030 and end America's battery manufacturing boom. This despite a recent 15% growth in EV sales in the U.S., a near quadrupling in Brazil, sevenfold increase in Viet Nam, and 50% increase in sales in India during the first quarter of 2024. According to the International Energy Agency, the maturing EV market has shown robust growth, with 2024 sales to surpass those of 2023 by more than 20% and EVs to reach a share in total car sales of more than one-fifth. If the US is to remain competitive in a global market, it needs to expand its EV manufacturing capacity. The solar industry faces similar threats. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, Texas, home to the fastest-growing solar market in the country, will lose 34,100 jobs by 2030. Florida, a state that has already installed enough solar capacity to power 2 million homes, stands to lose nearly 22,000 jobs. Were the incentives included under the Biden administration for renewables like solar and wind be maintained, we would reduce American dependence on foreign oil, and thus boost our national security. The result of proposed tax policy changes in the House-passed Reconciliation Bill would significantly slow US progress towards renewable energy and a healthier environment. According to Energy Innovation, a non-partisan think tank, repealing federal clean energy funding and tax credits would increase air pollution, particularly impacting those who live near power plants. Climate emissions would also rise, an outcome that impacts all of us regardless of where we live. Interestingly, the new field of attribution science makes it possible to determine the contribution of climate change to a single extreme weather event, like a particular heat wave or flood, and to calculate the proportional responsibility for that event of a specific source of emissions, like a fossil fuel company. This ability to follow disasters to their source is being used in an increasing number of lawsuits around the world. Getting back to the House version of the Reconciliation Bill, its impact will be to increase US greenhouse gas emissions by roughly a half billion metric tons per year by 2030 and more than 1 billion metric tons per year by 2035 – the equivalent of adding 219 million cars to the road. The House-passed bill would also kill the nascent clean hydrogen, CO2 management, and nuclear power sectors. Rob Orvis, senior director at Energy Innovation, captured the three clean energy-related impacts of the current Reconciliation Bill in comments to The Guardian: 'This bill is worse than what people envisioned – it pulls the rug out from facilities banking on [EV and clean energy] Government incentives for EV and solar power have been an unusual coming together of our household finance, economic, and environmental interests. They have contributed to economic growth and declining climate emissions. Let's try to keep it that way in the future.
