One ballot measure up for a vote in Pennsylvania today may not be counted. A state commonwealth court judge reportedly issued an injunction last week that delays the Marsy’s Law vote until a League of Women’s Voters lawsuit is settled. The group claims the referendum proposes multiple amendments to the state constitution which violates the separate vote requirement. The ballot measure proposes giving victims of crimes co-equal rights to the accused, such as if the suspect is released or escapes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House impeachment panels are starting to release transcripts from their investigation. And in one of them, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch says that Ukrainian officials warned her in advance that Rudy Giuliani and his allies were planning to “do things, including to me.” Yovanovitch was the target of a smear campaign before being recalled from her post by President Donald Trump.
MONTREAL (AP) — Journalists and university students fanned out across Canada to collected drinking water lead tests. They found much higher levels than the government has previously disclosed, in some cities worse average levels than seen in Flint, Michigan, at the peak of its contaminated water crisis. The investigation reviewed some 43,000 tap samples and found schools, day care centers and homes in some cases have high enough levels to endanger people drinking the water.
A group of mostly African-American people celebrating a birthday party at a Buffalo Wild Wings in suburban Chicago allege they were asked to change tables…because of their skin color. Justin Vahl says he was at a Naperville restaurant last month with children and adults when a host asked him about his ethnicity. Vahl is multi-racial. Later, a manager asked the group to move because a regular customer didn’t want to sit near black people. After several managers tried to move the group, they left for another restaurant.
The gloves are now off between Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Sanders says his Medicare-for-All plan is “far more progressive” than Warren’s. Warren on Friday announced she would implement universal healthcare by transferring 98 percent of the $8.8 trillion she estimates that employers will spend on private insurance for their employees. Companies with fewer than 50 employees would be exempt and employers already offering health benefits reached under collective bargaining agreements will be allowed to reduce how much they send to federal coffers. Sanders disagrees with how Warren will fund the plan. Sanders’ plan would be funded by a tax hike. Warren has pledged no middle-class tax increases. Sanders also said Warren’s plan could have a “very negative impact” on job creation.
