Republican state legislative leaders made headlines in recent days by announcing that they have finally reached agreement on a new state budget. But even as that long overdue news was being made, the lawmakers also moved to advance a series of state constitutional amendments that would, if enacted, have massive implications for future state budgets and core public services. Topping the list: a proposal to slash the already existing cap on state income taxes and another to cap local property taxes — moves that would almost certainly further eviscerate the state's already torn and threadbare public education system. Earlier this week, to get a better handle on the amendments and the new budget and what all of it means for the state going forward, Newsline caught up with one of the state's preeminent nonpartisan fiscal policy experts – the executive director of the North Carolina Budget & Tax Center, Alexandra Sirota.

A horrific murder of an American teenager by two other American teenagers in 1985 led to some serious soul-searching:  How could the international community in Taiwan (some of whom don't speak Chinese well enough to get help from local sources) aid those going through mental health crises, are in need of counseling, or simply need better ways to gather and bond?  The answer became the Community Services Center, a place where, for almost 40 years now, people help each other, organize public service activities, take language, weaving, or you-name-it classes, and much more. Adam McMillan (stepping down soon after 11 years as director) has some stories to tell.   Pics, info, and more at formosafiles.com

A hiring controversy at the University of Minnesota is getting widespread attention in the academic world. A group of professors at the University of Minnesota are calling on the administration to follow through on a job offer to a scholar whose hiring it recently froze. Raz Segal is an Israeli historian who was offered a position at the helm of the U of M's Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. But because of an article he'd written where he called Israel's siege of Gaza a genocide, two board members of the center resigned, and The Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas protested the choice along with other Jewish community members. They argue that Segal's views are extreme and that he had justified Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel.In an interview with MPR News, Segal, who is Jewish himself, said that is not true, “I have said exactly the opposite. I've described the Hamas-led attack on Israel as a case of mass murder, as war crimes, as crimes against humanity. I've been very clear on this for months and months on end.”The U said in a statement that it is considering the views of those who objected to Segal's appointment. For his part, Segal said he's still interested in the position if the University decides to “unpause.”Hundreds of professors have signed a letter condemning the university's decision. And the University of Minnesota's chapter of the American Association of University chapters sent a letter to the administration asking it to do just that. Sumanth Gopinath is president of the chapter and an associate professor of music theory. He joined MPR News guest host Nina Moini.
