"You're called a victim for a reason, and some of the ways this is discussed now is in terms of 'survivors' rather than victims. I like that, but not everyone gets to be a survivor - because some victims lose their lives."The theme of this year's ceremony was "Elevate, Engage, and Effect Change." Victims l...

The former case manager whose allegations against a St. Louis transgender clinic spurred an inquiry by the attorney general says she stands behind her claims, despite an internal investigation by her former employer concluding they are unsubstantiated. Last week, Washington University released the findings of its investigation into allegations of misconduct made by Jamie Reed, who worked as a case manager for the Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital for four years. Among the claims made by Reed were that the center gave a majority of children cross-sex hormones and issued prescriptions prior to treating mental health.The university concluded Reed’s allegations did not hold up. In response, Reed released a pair of statements through her attorneys over the weekend raising doubts about the university’s conclusions and calling into question its standard of care. Reed says the numbers cited by the university don’t match what she has calculated in regard...

California Republicans blast 'crazy' fixed-rate power bill proposal

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:38:24 GMT

California Republicans are asking state regulators to reject a proposal by California's three largest power companies to create a fixed rate for services based on household income."The ‘fixed-charge’ proposal is nothing but a shameful attempt to exploit and rip off residential customers,’” Senate Republicans said in a letter sent to California’s Public Utilities Commission last week. “Another name for this proposal could be the 'Hard Work Utility Tax,' as it is an unjust and regressive plan that fails to recognize the differences in energy usage among households and unfairly burdens lower-income families.”The passage of Assembly Bill 205 required utilities to simplify power bills while lower costs for lower-income residents. As a result, Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric and San Diego Gas & Electric submitted a joint proposal to the CPUC earlier this month to create a tiered fixed-rate system that would cover basic services and operating costs.Households wit...
