A complete guide to Pennsylvania's redistricting court challenges · Spotlight PA - Spotlight PA

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com

This article is part of a yearlong reporting project focused on redistricting and gerrymandering in Pennsylvania. It is made possible by the support of Spotlight PA members and Votebeat, a project focused on election integrity and voting access.

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s new political maps may have been picked, but that doesn’t mean the redistricting process is over.

There are pending legal challenges against the congressional and legislative maps, which were redrawn this year to account for population changes identified by the census.

Below is a rundown of what you need to know about these lawsuits. If you want to learn more, join Spotlight PA on March 3 at 5 p.m. for a free Q&A. RSVP here.

Last updated March 2, 2022

Congressional map

Pennsylvania law gives the responsibility to draw the state’s congressional boundaries to the legislature. The governor has the power to approve or reject the map.

Gov. Tom Wolf did the latter in January when he vetoed a map sent to him by Republicans.

Shortly after that occurred, the state Supreme Court agreed to intervene in an existing case and take over the process. In mid-February, the justices in a 4-3 decision picked a new congressional map from among more than a dozen proposals.

But there’s still at least one legal challenge left to play out.

A group of Pennsylvanians, including two Republicans running for political office, has brought a challenge in federal court, arguing the Pennsylvania justices had no right to pick a new map.

A federal judge in Harrisburg recently denied their request for a temporary restraining order against the map. The petitioners are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider that decision.

Legislative maps

Pennsylvania’s state House and Senate districts are drawn by the five-person Legislative Reapportionment Commission, which is composed of the top General Assembly leaders and an independent chair.

The panel voted 4-1 in early February to approve new maps.

Under the Pennsylvania Constitution, any person can bring a challenge to either map directly to the state Supreme Court by March 7. As of March 2, four separate parties had done so.

One group of Butler County residents — potential legislative candidate Ryan Covert, his mother Darlene J. Covert, and supporter Erik Hulick — are challenging how the state House map divides their home county.

House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff (R., Centre), the only member of the Legislative Reapportionment Commission to vote against the maps, wants the court to throw them out. He claims the maps were gerrymandered to benefit Democrats and create districts that do not comply with the Voting Rights Act.

Another elected official — state Sen. Lisa Boscola (D., Northampton) — is objecting to the way her district in the Lehigh Valley was divided.

And Todd Elliott Koger claims he was drawn out of a state House district that includes part of Pittsburgh in order to benefit another candidate who works for Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa (D., Allegheny), a member of the Legislative Reapportionment Commission. In a statement, Costa called the accusation “offensive and completely inaccurate.”

“I would not and did not use my role on the LRC to make a House seat more favorable to a member of my staff,” Costa continued.

After March 7, the Legislative Reapportionment Commission will have a few days to respond to the suits. After the briefs are filed, the court can choose whether it wants to consider the challenges.

5 Seconds Of Summer Return With New Song 'Complete Mess' - On Air with Ryan Seacrest

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com

5 Seconds of Summer is back with new music, and are previewing their forthcoming new album via their new single, "Complete Mess."

"Complete Mess" is the first song to be entirely written and produced by the band, and showcases Michael Clifford's production and the band's songwriting. Recorded at Rancho V in Joshua Tree, Clifford's own home studio and Dragonfly Creek in Malibu, the song's title actually references a fan-favorite t-shirt Luke Hemmings used to wear. But the lyrics, go much deeper as they sing, "Call it a lesson when I feel you slide away/ And I'm missing out on half my life/ Oh, you make me complete, you make me complete/ You make me a complete mess."

In a statement, the band's Calum Hood explained of the band's new song, "I think it's one of the first true representations of the band at its most honest. We feel very uplifted by it. It's a good song to be able to reconnect to our fans after such a longtime of not releasing music."

Luke added, "Nothing was overthought while we were writing it. It felt right. It was the first thing that popped out of us. It came together very quickly and exemplified what each of us do best musically."

And the group's Ashton Irwin agreed, "We’ve been trying to make this song for ten years. We love collaborating with other music creators, but we've never felt like we've achieved the full vision of the band while working with people outside the band. For this record we realized if you want something done that truly represents how you feel, you've got to do it yourselves. We wanted that expansive sound that we naturally gravitate towards when we play together, so we had to learn how to record that. It was important for us to carve out our own place in the pop world and embrace what we're really good at. 'Complete Mess' is the first illustration of us taking full ownership of the DNA of the group."

5 Seconds of Summer's new album will be their fifth and follow 2020's Calm. Michael said of what to expect of the upcoming project, "We wanted to find out who we were as a band in that particular moment and the best way for us to do that was to write with just the four of us. This new music is so authentically us. It's exactly the kind of music we want to be making right now and this is the exact direction we want to be headed."

Fans will be able to see 5 Seconds of Summer live from Las Vegas as they band is performing during this year's Daytime Stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 24th. Tickets for the show are currently on sale — fans can visit AXS.com to purchase tickets.

Frosted Flakes: Husker Men’s Basketball Finally Show Us a Complete Game - Corn Nation

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com

Did you watch the Husker men play Penn State on Sunday? I know many people have given up on them and I get it. Many games were painful to watch as they would shoot themselves in the foot time and time again. Or only show up for a half.

It was so nice to see them put together a complete game and compete like the team that we all were hoping for at the beginning of the season. I know that Penn State isn’t an elite basketball team, but a win is a win and they won in a dominant fashion. I hope that they are able to continue playing well tonight and will finish off the season on a high note at the Big Ten basketball tournament.

Ex-St. Louis officer declines plea deal in colleague beating - ABC News

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com

A former St. Louis police officer who was set to plead guilty in the 2017 beating of a Black colleague who was working undercover is now taking his case to trial

ByThe Associated Press

ST. LOUIS -- A former St. Louis police officer who was set to plead guilty in the 2017 beating of a Black colleague who was working undercover is now taking his case to trial.

A judge on Monday scheduled Christopher Myers’ trial on a federal charge of destruction of evidence for May 2, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. He had been set to plead guilty Tuesday to a misdemeanor charge of deprivation of rights, in which he would have admitted to damaging Detective Luther Hall’s phone on the night Hall was beaten by fellow officers.

Myers, who is white, would have agreed to a sentence of probation in the deal. Now, Myers faces years in prison if he’s convicted.

Myers announced his change of mind about the plea agreement after U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber recused himself from Myers' case last week. Webber did not list a reason for his recusal.

Two juries in separate trials last year were unable to reach a verdict in cases where Myers faced charges of destruction of evidence. In his first trial, Myers was acquitted of a civil rights violation count.

Myers was one of several now-former officers charged in Hall’s beating. Randy Hays was sentenced last year to more than four years in prison after pleading guilty in 2019 to using unreasonable and excessive force in the beating. Dustin Boone was convicted last year of deprivation of rights under the law and sentenced in November to one year and a day in prison. Bailey Colletta was sentenced to three years’ probation for lying to the FBI and a grand jury about the beating.

Last year, a jury acquitted former Officer Steven Korte of charges of deprivation of rights under color of law and of lying to the FBI about the attack.

Prosecutors have said the officers mistakenly believed that Hall was participating in a protest in September 2017 following the acquittal of Jason Stockley, a white officer accused of fatally shooting a Black man following a high-speed chase. Hall required multiple surgeries after the beating, which he said left him with permanent damage. He settled a lawsuit against the police for $5 million.

You might be subsidizing a colleague’s 401(k) fees - CNBC

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com

You may unknowingly be subsidizing your colleagues' 401(k) fees.

The dynamic is a function of your 401(k) investments and how the retirement plan pays costs for administrative expenses, like those associated with trading and ongoing accounting of workers' balances.

Retirement savers (like the broader investment world) may be unaware of the fees they pay. Many financial firms inside and outside the 401(k) ecosystem often levy an annual fee directly from client accounts instead of asking them to write a check.

Mutual funds in 401(k) plans are no different. And their overall expense may include a "revenue sharing" fee (also known as a 12b-1 fee, a distribution fee or shareholder services fee, for example); the fund manager collects this fee and then pays the 401(k) plan's administrator.

This behind-the-scenes infrastructure is how many plans pay for record-keeping and other services from firms like Fidelity Investments, Empower Retirement and other 401(k) administrators.

While on the decline, 16% of workplace retirement plans like 401(k) plans still use revenue sharing, according to a survey published Tuesday by Callan, a consulting firm. (The share was about 40% a decade ago.)

However, its prevalence may be more widespread than the Callan survey suggests; three-quarters of the 101 employers polled were among the country's largest, each with more than $1 billion in assets.

Small 401(k) plans tend to use revenue sharing more readily. A separate poll by the Plan Sponsor Council of America, a trade group, across a broader swath of plan sizes indicates 39% use the practice.

Revenue sharing obscures a plan's true cost and can lead to many unequal outcomes for retirement savers, according to critics.

For example, not all investment funds levy that fee. Actively managed funds have a revenue-sharing fee built in more often than index funds, for example. (Of course, there are exceptions.)

"There are a lot of popular [401(k)] industry funds that use revenue sharing," said Greg Ungerman, who leads a team at Callan working with workplace retirement plans. "It's all over the map."

The dynamic means a saver invested solely in index funds may not pay any revenue-sharing fees for 401(k) plan expenses, whereas another worker in the same 401(k) plan invested solely in actively managed funds may pay the fees.

Hence, the latter subsidizes costs for the former, even though they get the same services.

Firms abandoning fees

Employers have begun moving away from the practice, amid a flurry of lawsuits around excessive 401(k) fees and federal fee-disclosure rules to boost transparency, which were adopted about a decade ago.

"[Investors] don't see the money when it comes out; you don't see a line item on your statement like you do a credit card bill," Ungerman said of revenue sharing. "There [used to be] an element of ignorance was bliss.

"But that's just not appropriate in these days."

Employers may not have much of a choice — they are somewhat at the mercy of the investment firms.

Many firms have debuted versions of their funds that don't include a revenue-sharing fee. However, some haven't, and some employers may not be allowed access to the ones that do.

Given these dynamics, some record-keeping firms have built technology to capture the fees and funnel that money back to investors, eliminating any unfairness that may have existed.

"It gives the [employer] on behalf of the plan participants a bit more control," Ungerman said. "But that's not always utilized.

"Not all record keepers can support it."
