FILE - People rally in support of affirmative action in college admissions as arguments start on the cases at the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill on Oct.

31, 2022, in Washington, DC. (Photo by Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post via Getty Images) WASHINGTON - As the Supreme Court decides the fate of affirmative action, most U.S.

adults say the court should allow colleges to consider race as part of the admissions process, yet few believe students’ race should ultimately play a major role in decisions, according to a new poll.The May poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 63% say the Supreme Court should not block colleges from considering race or ethnicity in their admission systems.

The poll found little divide along political or racial lines.But those polled were more likely to say factors including grades and standardized test scores should be important, while 68% of adults said race and ethnicity should not be a significant factor.The poll reflects general support for affirmative action even as the future of the practice remains in doubt.

States weigh charging by the mile as fuel taxes plummet

Gas taxes have been used for more than a century for the purpose.The problem that has developed is those taxes are generating less each year due to inflation, fuel efficiency and the rise of electric cars. States are experimenting with various ideas that could eventually replace those taxes.One proposal that seems to be gaining in popularity would be to charge drivers by the mile instead of the gallon. Other ideas that have been presented include taxing electricity from public vehicle charging stations.Another is to tack charges onto door-to-door package deliveries. States are now weighing whether to start making the programs mandatory.In 2015, Oregon began a pilot program charging motorists by the distance their vehicle travels rather than the gas it guzzles.To participate, drivers plug a device into their vehicle and create an account to capture mileage data.The federal government is about to pilot its own program, funded by $125 million from President Biden's infrastructure measure that he signed in November 2021.So far, only three states, Oregon, Utah and Virginia are generating revenue from road usage charges.Hawaii will join them next.Last year, Colorado began adding a 27-cent tax to home deliveries from Amazon and other online retailers to help fund transportation projects.Other states have been testing electronic toll systems.Electric car sales in the U.S. rose from just 0.1% of total car sales in 2011 to 4.6% in 2021, according to the U.S.

Biden vows to bring high-speed internet access to all Americans by 2030

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden on Monday said that high-speed internet is no longer a luxury but an "absolute necessity," as he pledged that every household in the nation would have access by 2030 using cables made in the U.S."These investments will help all Americans," he said. "We’re not going to leave anyone behind."Biden announced that more than $40 billion would be distributed across the country to deliver high-speed internet in places where there's either no service, or service is too slow."But it’s not enough to have access — you need affordability and access," the president said, adding that his administration is working with service providers to bring down costs on what is now a household utility — like water or gas — but often remains priced at a premium.With Monday’s announcement, the administration is launching the second phase of its "Investing in America" tour.

Gov. Shapiro draws criticism for backing school vouchers

PHILADELPHIA - As the Pennsylvania Legislature nears a budget deadline by the end of the week, the controversial issue of school vouchers has emerged as a hot topic with Governor Josh Shapiro in the thick of it.Opponents of using public money to pay for students attending private or religious schools, known as school vouchers, argue they drain money from public schools which most students attend. Democrats most often oppose vouchers, but not Governor Shapiro."I believe every child of God deserves a shot here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. One of the best ways to guarantee their success is to make sure every child has a quality education," Shapiro said.If that includes vouchers focusing on students attending low-achieving public schools, Shapiro is on-board and willing to sign legislation soon.
