Automatic spending cuts would threaten infrastructure funding Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The backstop mechanism House Republicans inserted into last month’s debt ceiling package to ensure the completion of full-year appropriations would cause some collateral damage if triggered: cuts to bipartisan infrastructure law funding enacted two years ago. That 2021 measure’s $68.5 billion in advance appropriations, which become available starting on Oct. 1, could get hit by across-the-board
cuts starting more than halfway through the fiscal year next May – impacting grants for Amtrak, bridge repairs, clean energy research and drinking water and sewage line upgrades. A result like that could muddle one of President Joe Biden’s key selling points as he campaigns for reelection next year on his “Bidenomics” platform, which has highlighted the infrastructure law’s projects around the country including the rollout of See Cuts, Page A6

Nine people were wounded in a shooting in a downtown Cleveland nightlife district early Sunday morning, police said. One person suffered serious injuries, according to Cleveland Police Chief Wayne Drummond. The other eight victims suffered non-life-threatening wounds. No suspects have been arrested. Police believe there was only one shooter. The gunfire erupted about 2:30 a.m. in Cleveland’s Warehouse District, a popular spot on Saturday nights full of bars and clubs.
Investigators believe the bullets were fired at a group of people standing on the street shortly after closing time at the bars. Seven men and two women were shot, all between the ages of 23 and 38, according to Drummond. “This is yet another tragic incident of senseless gun violence in our city,” Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb said in a statement. “We continue to see an uptick in shootings across our city ever since Republican lawmakers passed Senate Bill 215 last year allowing permitless carry.

FEMA disaster relief fund close to running out of money Tribune Content Agency FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Just as hurricane season begins its peak period, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief fund will run out of money. Without action to replenish it, FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund will be depleted in August – and remain dry until the new fiscal year begins on Oct. 1. The Disaster Relief Fund is used to respond to major disasters around the country. It provides money to state and local governments to help pay for cleanup and rebuilding after events such as
hurricanes and wildfires, and to individuals and families after those kinds of disasters. The peak of the hurricane season is Sept. 10, according to the National Hurricane Center, with most storm activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said at a congressional hearing earlier this year that the nation is “facing a really unprecedented time” in terms of the number of disasters it is experiencing. “In 2022 alone we saw multiple record-breaking events” she said. “I fear See FEMA, Page A6
