ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. - A new Missouri law allows counties to approve property tax breaks for senior citizens.

According to a news release Friday, the St. Charles County Council could approve a bill as soon as Monday that allows for property tax freezes as soon as next year.

The legislation also ends state taxes on Social Security benefits starting in 2024. To qualify, according to the bill, residents of St. Charles County must be at least 62 years old by Jan. 1, 2024.

Local cycling store on brink of shutting down after robbery 

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:08:07 GMT

A family-owned business in L.A. County is reeling from a robbery that has left them close to shutting their doors for good. Irwindale Cycles on Arrow Highway had nearly $40,000 worth of bikes and inventory stolen from them during a break-in last week, according to a GoFundMe set up to help the business recoup some of their losses. “This isn’t a corporation or franchise owned store; this is a family who has tirelessly spent years creating and supporting the cycling community we have come to know today in the San Gabriels,” the GoFundMe said. “This kind of loss to a family-owned shop is devastating...but even worse would be the loss of their store in the next few months.” A woman was able to take two pictures of the alleged robbers on a train before they exited in Pasadena. (GoFundMe)A woman was able to take two pictures of the alleged robbers on a train before they exited in Pasadena. (GoFundMe)Irwindale Cycles as seen in an undated photo.

Rory McIlroy moves into contention at Irish Open, 2 shots behind leader Hurly Long

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:08:07 GMT

STRAFFAN, Ireland (AP) — Rory McIlroy birdied his last two holes to move into contention for a second Irish Open title as most of the players in front of him faltered in the third round on Saturday. McIlroy finished off a 6-under 66 with a short birdie putt on the 18th to push into third place, two shots behind leader Hurly Long of Germany. That’s a better spot than he had expected, given that he started the day eight shots off the lead.“I felt like I maybe needed to go a couple lower to get myself right in it,” 2016 winner McIlroy said while more than a dozen players were still on the course. “But the guys at the top haven’t really went away from the field that much today.” And they didn’t get anything going on the back nine at The K Club, either. Long needed a birdie on the last hole to restore a two-shot advantage over McIlroy after a 70 gave him a 13-under total of 203. Jordan Smith, who held a share of the overnight lead with Shubhankar Sharma, then also birdied the...

Howie Carr: You have choices to vote out the clown show, er, Boston City Council

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:08:07 GMT

Casting a ballot in a Boston City Council election is usually about as meaningful as picking up your cellphone and dialing in a vote for your favorite D-list celebrity on Dancing with the Stars.But this Tuesday, going to the polls could be important, because it might help determine who becomes mayor next year if (or when) Michelle Wu decides to move on.Rumors are rampant that two years after her election, the 37-year-old drifter from Chicago is “despondent” over the job, as well she should be, as abysmally as she’s performed her duties.Last week, Wu was asked by reporters if she’s been talking to Harvard about a job. She denied it, sort of.Maybe they should have asked her about MIT. That’s the other rumor.If Wu resigns, she would be replaced by the president of that third-rate clown-show known as the City Council.The current president is Ed Flynn, son of former mayor Ray Flynn. Not a bad guy, but Ed’s never been on the short list for Mensa. When a riot breaks out at a Council meetin...
