California voters could act on legalized sports betting as early as November
The U.S. Supreme Court opened the door Monday to legalized sports gambling across the nation, and California could walk right on through it in November if the state’s voters give the OK. In a 6-3 decision, the justices overturned a 1992 federal law that prohibited states from authorizing gambling on sporting events, except for the four states — Nevada, Delaware, Montana and Oregon — where it was already legal. The majority, led by Justice Samuel Alito, said the law unconstitutionally “commandeers” states to follow federal policy and intrudes on their lawmaking authority. In California, where the state Constitution prohibits sports betting, the aftermath of Monday’s ruling could be huge. In July, in hopes of a favorable Supreme Court ruling, Assemblyman Adam Gray, D-Merced, introduced ACA18, which would amend the state Constitution to remove the ban and authorize laws to regulate betting — and now Gray says the ruling makes him more determined … [Read more...] about California voters could act on legalized sports betting as early as November
Late TDs allow Clayton Valley to reach 2-AA state championship game
Savvy. It’s a word Clayton Valley High football coach Tim Murphy has used to describe his team on multiple occasions during the 2019 season. The adjective never fit the Ugly Eagles better than it did Friday night. Trailing visiting Elk Grove by 12 points with less than five minutes to play, Clayton Valley scored twice inside the last 2½ minutes for a 28-26 victory in the CIF 2-AA Northern California regional playoffs. “This is amazing,” said Clayton Valley quarterback Jake Kern, who led the comeback with touchdown passes of 40 and 42 yards “The course of the game, the way we played, persevering when we were down. Elk Grove played great. ... Just amazing.” The win advances the Ugly Eagles (9-5) to the 2-AA title game at 4 p.m. Friday against Aquinas-San Bernardino (13-2) at Cerritos College in Norwalk (Los Angeles County). It’s the program’s third trip to a state final after finishing as runners-up in 2014 and 2015. Elk Grove (10-5) was … [Read more...] about Late TDs allow Clayton Valley to reach 2-AA state championship game
Labor market picked up steam in November as U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs and jobless rate fell to 3.5%
The United States added 266,000 jobs in November as the unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, reflecting a surge of strength in a labor market that has muscled through recession fears that flared over the summer. The data, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, handily beat expectations. Analysts had forecast roughly 180,000 new jobs for the month. The 3.5% unemployment rate is back at a 50-year low. The stock market roared higher on the news. White House said the labor market's renewed strength is evidence President Donald Trump's economic agenda is working and tried to dismiss the Democrats' impeachment push as a political sideshow. "I don't see any end to it right now," National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said Friday of the labor market run. "What I see is more strength." Markets rejoiced at the report, with the Dow Jones industrial average closing up more than 330 points, or 1.2%, on Friday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index closed up 0.9% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq was … [Read more...] about Labor market picked up steam in November as U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs and jobless rate fell to 3.5%
