Employers who reimburse their workers for health care costs will face massive tax penalties beginning Wednesday.

Prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, with its mandate that all Americans purchase insurance and requirement for businesses to offer employees insurance plans, many small companies provided coverage by directly reimbursing medical costs or for the cost of private insurance plans. Businesses do it because that’s a less complicated process than dealing with an official health insurance plan, but continuing to do so after July 1 could cost them hundreds of dollars in fines each day.

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP NJ–On July 4, 2015 at approximately 9:15 AM, an officer from the Gloucester Township Police Department was conducting an extra patrol of area cellular towers when he discovered a suspicious vehicle backed in against the site of one of a cell tower located on Williamstown Road. As the officer exited his vehicle he observed a subject inside the fenced in area disassembling an electrical/communications box and pulling equipment out of the box.

A further investigation revealed that Mr. Lucas hadn’t worked for the company for sometime.

For many Americans, the Fourth of July is not just a day to celebrate the birth of our nation, but also to enjoy a few adult (ahem, alcoholic) beverages. A beer at the barbeque, maybe bourbon to toast the stars and stripes afterward. Well, Congress stands ready to help you buy that bottle – or at least help the brewers and distillers who sell you your booze of choice. Whether you get a price cut remains to be seen.

IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif.—An off-duty San Diego Sector Border Patrol agent rescued a two-year-old boy at a local community pool on Monday. The toddler already had sunk to the bottom of the pool and was lying motionless when the agent jumped into the water.

The event began while the agent and his family were enjoying family time at the pool. The agent’s daughter alerted her dad that there was a small child on the bottom of the pool. The agent responded quickly, jumped into the pool, and pulled the child out of the water. The child’s mother also had jumped into the pool, but was too distraught to initiate life-saving actions.
