WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is moving quickly to avoid a government shutdown. The Senate on Thursday passed a short-term spending bill that would finance federal agencies into mid-December. The legislation also provides another round of military and economic aid to Ukraine as it seeks to repel Russia’s invasion. The bill finances the federal government through Dec. 16, giving lawmakers time to agree on a larger government funding package after the midterm election. Assistance and money to help low-income families afford their heating bills this winter was also included in the bill, which now heads to the House for consideration.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration to try and halt its plan to forgive student loan debt for millions of Americans. They’re accusing it of overstepping its executive powers. It’s at least the second legal challenge this week to the sweeping proposal laid out by President Joe Biden in late August, when he said his administration would cancel up to $20,000 in education debt for millions of borrowers. The announcement became immediate political fodder ahead of the November midterms while fueling arguments from conservatives about the program’s legality.

Despite the cooler temperatures, the focus for the Beaver County Commissioners at Wednesday’s work session steered towards things happening outside.

Public Works director Dan Colville requested that the Commissioners approve the demolition of three outhouse areas at Brush Creek Park: “We’ve had to go out there in the past and demolish some of the old outhouses out there. We have three more out there that are leaking, and it’s costing us money to have to pump those out; otherwise, they’re going to overflow.”

Colville also discussed the installation of units by Constellation Energy on the roof of the County Courthouse is set to begin on Thursday, October 6 and will require a shutdown of Market Street in Beaver for a large crane to haul the units to the rooftop. According to Colville, the agreement had already been reached by Beaver Borough and Constellation. “They’re anticipating being done Saturday and moving the equipment out on Sunday, business as usual on Monday,” Colville added.

That same weekend, the division of Parks and Recreation is looking to hold a Grand Opening for the newly remodeled outdoor courts at Brady’s Run Park. Director Tony Caltury spoke about such possibilities at the work session: “I can look at our schedule; we have some high school tennis matches that perhaps they’d be interested in hosting on the new courts.” Caltury set a tentative date for October 8, but that date was not finalized at the work session.

The next Commissioners’ work session is scheduled for October 5 at 10:00 AM.
