WASHINGTON - A recent report from researchers at the University of Massachusetts-Boston found that rising inflation has made it difficult for millions of elderly Americans to afford basic needs. The report published in the university’s Elder Index states that half of older women as well as 45% of older men who live alone are classified as living under federal poverty standards.The index accounts for health care, food, housing and transportation costs. In 2020, the index found that 2 million senior couples were considered "financially insecure" based on their incomes compared with the cost of living. Despite these alarming findings, the cost of living isn’t going down.Inflation surged in June and workers' average wages accelerated in the spring — signs that Americans won't likely feel any relief from rising prices anytime soon and that the Federal Reserve will feel compelled to raise borrowing costs further.An inflation gauge closely tracked by the Fed jumped 6.8% in June from a year ago, the government said Friday, the biggest such jump in four decades. Much of the increase was driven by energy and food.On a month-to-month basis, too, prices surged 1% in June, the biggest such rise since 2005.

HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania's Democratic governor sued the state Legislature on Thursday over a package of proposed constitutional amendments that Republican lawmakers are pursuing, including one that would say the state constitution does not guarantee any rights relating to abortion or public funding of abortions.The lawsuit filed in the state Supreme Court argues that the proposed abortion amendment would violate privacy protections. Wolf wants the high court to throw out the amendments, declaring that they are not constitutionally valid.The lawmakers are attempting to circumnavigate Wolf’s power to veto legislation he does not support.Wolf claims that bundling the abortion amendment together with four others in a bill that passed the General Assembly earlier this month as budget sessions were wrapping up runs afoul of a constitutional rule against passing legislation that addresses multiple, unrelated topics.MORE ON ROE V. WADEWolf in a statement said the abortion-related amendment was part of GOP lawmakers' effort to "dismantle access to abortion and implement a radical agenda."The other four amendments would require voter ID, have gubernatorial candidates choose their own running mates, empower lawmakers to cancel regulations without facing a governor’s veto and establish election audits.

A corgi named Arthur is lucky to be alive after he was shot in the head, according to the PSPCA.  (Pennsylvania SPCA)LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. - Arthur the corgi is one lucky pup, according to the Pennsylvania SPCA. The agency says the corgi was "shot between the eyes and seemingly left for dead." After being shot, the dog managed to climb under a fence to a family farm in Lancaster County two weeks ago and the PSPCA was called. The family assumed the injury was from the fence and the PSPCA's affiliate location, Mainline Animal Rescue, took him in, but they knew something wasn't right. Veterinarians noticed that the wound on Arthur's head was large and covered in dirt.
