Job Corps is a lifeline for thousands of low-income students, and there is bipartisan concern about a Trump administration effort to close the program.

Douglas woman fights to keep her backyard chicken coop
DOUGLAS, Mich. (WOOD) — A Douglas woman is in a legal fight to keep the chickens that she has been raising in her backyard for months. Kathy Sarkisian told News 8 that she has been a big advocate of health and wellness for much of her life. She said that having backyard chickens felt like the next step in that journey, for the added health benefits chicken eggs have. 'It was just absolutely perfect,' she said. 'It fit right into everything I believe in.' So, Kathy went through the permitting process with the city. Ultimately, a zoning official approved her permit and she began building, which she said costs her about $23,000. Shortly after her permit was accepted, the dream started to fade away. She said a city zoning official said a neighbor had objected to her chickens, which according to their city's ordinance would mean that her permit quote 'Shall not be granted, with no right of appeal.' 'When cities subjugate their authority to an individual, another property owner, they create dissension among their residents and that really bothers me,' Sarkisian said. Ultimately, Kathy said she was told to get rid of her chickens, which she did not do, leading her to being fined everyday that she has them. So, she filed a federal lawsuit against the city. A complaint was filed to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan stating: 'The city is depriving Kathy of her constitutional and civil rights, including the right to make productive use of her land without unreasonable governmental interference.' 'What if I had the authority to just say 'Nope, I don't want you to use that, so you can't.' It's kind of the same thing,' Sarkisian said. The lawsuit goes on to add that the city violated its own process by allowing neighbors to object to this after a permit had been granted. Kathy is being represented by the Pacific Legal Foundation. One of her attorneys told News 8 that the ordinance is unconstitutional and a violation of her civil rights protected by the Constitution. 'Neighbors can't wield government power like they are here,' Austin Waisanen, a property rights attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation told News 8. 'The threat is that next time it won't just be chickens in your backyard, it'll be chickens playing in your backyard or barbequing or many other ordinary uses of land.' Sarkisian told News 8 that this means more to her than just chickens. It's about doing what is right. 'Most everybody told me 'Don't do it, it's going to be a problem, it is going to cost you a fortune, just get rid of the chickens,' and I am like, 'It's just not right. Sometimes you have to stand up and do what is right,'' she said. 'I am not holding any grudges, I just want the city to make it right and create a constitutional law.' News 8 did reach out to the City of Douglas for comment, but they declined due to the ongoing litigation. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

This Canadian patient has been in the hospital for 9 years and refuses to leave
Roger Foley was admitted to hospital in London so long ago, Justin Trudeau – now gone after nearly a decade as prime minister – was only three months into Canada's top job. Article content The COVID-19 pandemic was still four years away, and the world would not know Donald Trump as a U.S. president – in his first go-round in the job – for another year yet. Article content More than nine years later, Foley is still at the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) where he was admitted on Feb. 5, 2016. Article content Article content The 49-year-old, who lives with severe disabilities that limit his ability to move and care for himself, doesn't leave LHSC's Victoria Hospital. Article content Article content Foley gets few visitors to his sixth-floor room and is the first to admit that he doesn't need the level of advanced medical care that Southwestern Ontario's largest hospital provides. He'd rather receive home care by a team of his choosing, a departure from the norm in Ontario's publicly funded system. Article content Instead, Foley remains in an inpatient bed after all these years – at the centre of a protracted legal fight that one expert calls a 'three-way standoff' with LHSC and provincial health care bureaucracies over his care needs. Article content 'He's right in the middle of one of the most complicated policy questions in Ontario's health care system,' said Rosalie Wyonch, associate director of research at the C.D. Howe Institute. Article content 'There's always someone who doesn't want what the public options are and wants their own choices. . . . This patient is at this ambiguous centre point of who should be responsible for their care and how much autonomy should they have in that choice.' Article content Article content Foley, originally from the Ottawa area, has a significant, genetic neurodegenerative condition that limits his mobility. He can't walk and relies on ceiling-track hoists to help him move. He also eats a pureed food diet because he has difficulty swallowing. Article content Article content He's been transferred between units at Victoria Hospital since he was first admitted, including the mental health, nephrology and sub-acute medicine departments. Article content In an interview with The London Free Press, Foley said he'd been living independently in his London apartment with the assistance of home care workers before his hospital admission in February 2016. But he claims the care he received was deeply inadequate and a contributing factor to his hospitalization.

Oklahoma parents fight new curriculum on 2020 election ‘discrepancies'
A battle is roiling Oklahoma over new social studies standards that include teaching high-schoolers that there were 'discrepancies' in the 2020 presidential election, as a legal fight unfolds over allegations that the state superintendent added the provision to the standards without notifying some education board members before they voted to pass them.
