WASHINGTON (AP) — In a settlement agreement last year, TurboTax’s owner Intuit Inc. was ordered to pay $141 million to low-income consumers who were deceived into paying TurboTax to file their federal returns — despite being eligible for free, federally-supported tax services. Checks to the 4.4 million Americans eligible for for restitution payments will be mailed out starting next week, New York Attorney General Letitia James said Thursday. The amount paid to each eligible consumer ranges from $29 to $85, depending on how many tax years they qualify for.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Republican officials in New Hampshire are objecting to a historical marker dedicated to labor activist who championed women’s rights and was a founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, but who also led the Communist Party and was sent to prison. Known as “The Rebel Girl” for her fiery speeches, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was born in Concord in 1890. A green and white Historical Highway Marker was unveiled Monday near her birthplace. It was approved by the Concord City Council, and is one of 278 across the state. Republican Gov. Chris Sununu has since called for a review of the state’s historical marker program.

Ford Motor Co. is recalling certain 2004 to 2006 Ranger vehicles because replacement front passenger air bag inflators may have been installed incorrectly. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a letter that the recall includes 231,942 vehicles. The vehicles had received replacement front passenger air bag inflators under a previous recall. The NHTSA said that an incorrectly installed inflator may not properly inflate the passenger air bag, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

DETROIT (AP) — U.S. safety regulators are investigating possible electrical problems in older Dodge Journeys after a woman was trapped and died when her SUV caught fire in December. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it’s investigating whether inoperative door locks and windows can prevent people from getting out of the SUVs during an emergency. Documents posted Friday on the agency’s website say the probe covers more than 82,000 Journeys from the 2009 model year. The investigation was opened after the woman’s death on Dec. 9. A complaint filed with the agency says the woman pulled to the side of a road when warning lights started flashing and the doors wouldn’t unlock. The complaint alleged that fire started in the engine and spread, trapping the woman inside.

WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s employers added a healthy 253,000 jobs in April, evidence of a labor market that still shows surprising strength despite rising interest rates, chronically high inflation and a banking crisis that could weaken the economy. The unemployment rate dipped to 3.4%, matching a 54-year low. But the jobless rate fell in part because 43,000 people left the labor force, the first drop since November, and were no longer counted as unemployed. The government said that while hiring was solid in April, it was much weaker in February and March than it had previously estimated. And hourly wages rose last month at the fastest pace since July, which may alarm the inflation fighters at the Federal Reserve.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s most influential stock is helping to pull the market higher after Apple reported better profit than expected, while beaten-down banks also leap to cut into their sharp losses from a brutal week. The S&P 500 was 1% higher in early trading Friday, though it’s still on pace for its worst week in nearly two months. The Dow rose 1.1% and the Nasdaq composite rose 1%. Treasury yields were jumping in the bond market after a report showed hiring accelerated across the economy by much more than expected last month. The government’s monthly jobs report also showed workers won bigger pay raises than expected.

Aerospace supplier Arconic is being taken private by Apollo Global Management Inc. in a deal worth approximately $5.2 billion. Arconic shareholders will receive $30 per share in cash. Arconic is the company once known as Alcoa. Alcoa Inc. spun off its alumina and bauxite operations in 2016 into a company called Alcoa Corp., while Arconic became the company that produced rolled and plate aluminum, as well as products for the aerospace and industrial sector.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The former chief security officer for Uber has been sentenced to probation for trying to cover up a 2016 data breach in which hackers accessed tens of millions of customer records from the ride-hailing service. Federal prosecutors say Joseph Sullivan was sentenced Thursday in San Francisco to three years of probation and ordered to pay a fine of $50,000. He was convicted last year of concealing from the Federal Trade Commission a breach in which hackers stole data on 57 million users and 600,000 driver’s license numbers. Prosecutors say Sullivan secretly paid the hackers $100,000 in return for promising not to release the data. Uber’s new management uncovered the truth in 2017 and made the breach public.

Two Beaver County police officers who work on the state force have been honored for their courageous acts in the line of fire.

Following a chaotic and dangerous incident in the summer of 2022 at a convenience store in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Trooper Jonnie Schooley was awarded with the Purple Heart for his actions during that scene during a ceremony held by the State Police on Thursday morning. Additionally, he was awarded the PSP’s Commendation Medal for his duty during the scene along with Trooper Shawn Palmer. Both men serve as members of Troop D, which covers Beaver County along with four others (Butler, Armstrong, Lawrence, Mercer).

The ceremony took place at the Penn State Beaver campus in Monaca, presided over by Commander Major William Maitland of Area 1. Colonel Christopher Paris, who is the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, commended Schooley and Palmer for their decision-making and effort to uphold the honor of the PSP “Call Of Honor” that serves as the mission statement of the force. The award presentation was led by Troop D Commander Kana Moy, who described in detail the hostile nature of the scene in Aliquippa that evening, and the noble actions of the troopers to place themselves in the line of fire.

Also commended for their actions were Charles Hines and Lamarr Rawl–who received the Outstanding Citizenship Award from the PSP–and Roscoe Hodge and Matthew Weekley, who were honored with the Meritorious Citizenship Award. All four men assisted Schooley and Palmer during and through the aftermath of the July 2022 incident. The four men were not in attendance at Thursday morning’s ceremony.

Also at the scene to assist were Lt. Glenn Brunelle of UPMC Presbyterian Public Safety, along with Sgt. Joshua Gonzalez and Patrolman Andrew Golletti from the Aliquippa Police Department. These three men were presented with the PSP’s “Troop Commander’s Letter of Commendation”

According to the Pennsylvania State Police, the Purple Heart is awarded to “members or enforcement officers who receive serious bodily injury in the line of duty while performing duties, or who are shot by a criminal and require medical treatment, no matter the degree of injury.” Schooley was shot in the leg during the July 2022 incident.

In the audience along with dozens of State Officers were Beaver County Commissioner Dan Camp, District Attorney David Lozier, and Aliquippa Mayor Dwan B. Walker–who remarked to Beaver County Radio that the ceremony marked “a good day for Aliquippa.”

NEW YORK (AP) — A jury has concluded that British singer Ed Sheeran’s hit song “Thinking Out Loud” didn’t copy key components of Marvin Gaye’s classic tune “Let’s Get It On.” The verdict Thursday came after a two-week trial that featured a courtroom performance by Sheeran. The singer insisted that the copyright claim was a threat to all musicians who write their own songs. Sheeran was sued by the heirs of songwriter Ed Townsend, who created the 1973 soul classic with Gaye. When Sheeran heard the jury’s decision, he briefly put his hands over his face in relief before standing and hugging his lawyer.
