SPOKANE, Wash. — The Northeast Community Center has often been described as a safe haven for Spokane residents. Soon, the non-profit will provide the community a breath of fresh air.
Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard was a no-show at a special meeting, where trustees took action to limit spending and approve a new firefighter’s contract
Businesses can now put their name in the hat to see if theyll be eligible to receive grant funding to help make repairs caused by break-ins and other property crimes.

One year after extreme flooding caused catastrophic damage to homes, roads, and infrastructure in Leominster, Massachusetts, the federal government has provided millions in disaster relief funding but only for certain kinds of damage. More than nine inches of rain fell in the city on Sept. 11, 2023, causing sinkholes, washed-out roads, and extensive property damage.One significant sinkhole opened on Pleasant Street, where pipes under the road were exposed and much of a home’s front yard was washed away. Several cars at a Cadillac dealership were engulfed in another sinkhole. Flooding washed away the ground beneath the MBTA Commuter Rail tracks near Hamilton Street, temporarily leaving the tracks dangling over a ravine carved out by the water.Numerous basements were flooded and many homes had to be evacuated, including a mobile home park. Crews used boats and large military vehicles to help the residents out of the area. Steve Fini said his Federal Emergency Management Agency check arrived last week and he hired a contractor to start repairs on his home in the Meadowbrook Acres Mobile Home Park a few days ago. He said that the flood brought about six inches of water into one room and when the contractor tore up the floor, the wood underneath was still wet.Recovery efforts in the immediate aftermath of the floods included clearing debris and repairing damaged infrastructure, including the train tracks. Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella has said the city suffered at least $30 million in public property damage from the storm. Video below: Leominster’s progress 1 week after floodingResidents and city leaders faced setbacks in February when FEMA originally denied both public and individual assistance funding for Leominster. The individual assistance was eventually approved in May for residents, but the denial of $30 million for public assistance stood. At this point, city officials said that FEMA has provided more than $4.5 million to more than 800 homeowners and business owners in the city.
If Congress doesn’t pass a spending bill by September 30, the government could shut down. Here’s what that could mean.
The legislation was headed for defeat amid opposition from Republicans in the latest embarrassment for Johnson.
Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday that the House would not proceed with a planned vote on a stopgap measure to keep the government funded.
The House bill would fund the government through March and require people to show proof of citizenship to register to vote, a measure backed by Donald Trump.
