Who were your ancestors? + a big week for community 🌳
Good morning, Delaware County. It's a busy one out of Washington today — election integrity debates, trade war escalations with China, and a proposed 80% hike in citizenship fees are all making waves. Jobless claims ticked down slightly, which sounds like good news until you realize the labor market is basically doing its best impression of a person who's neither getting up nor lying down. Meanwhile, a $5.8 million civil verdict is moving toward payment, and the Kennedy Center's signage saga continues its slow courtroom crawl.
When you're ready to swap the headlines for something more grounded, the week ahead has you covered — an ESOL Language Class Sunday, a Family Support Group Monday, and Genealogy 1:1 Sessions for anyone ready to dig into their roots. Fresh listings are live in real estate too.
