Councilmember Kevin Wilk, who was Walnut Creek's first Jewish mayor and city council member, said Wednesday there were "pretty stunning comments" made by four different callers. One caller, who identified himself as "Scottie, resident of Walnut Creek," said "I'm calling today to address some irrational statements made by certain council members who know who they are, regarding the pro white banners that they cried about on the news probably about six months back."

Business Highlights: Fed likely to hold rates steady; CNN ousts Licht after tumultuous tenure

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 09:46:28 GMT

___Is it a ‘skip’ or a ‘pause’? Federal Reserve won’t likely raise rates next week but maybe next monthWASHINGTON (AP) — Don’t call it a “pause.” When the Federal Reserve meets next week, it is widely expected to leave interest rates alone — after 10 straight meetings in which it has jacked up its key rate to fight inflation. But what might otherwise be seen as a “pause” will likely be characterized instead as a “skip.” The difference? A “pause” might suggest that the Fed may not raise its benchmark rate again. A “skip” implies that it probably will — just not now. The purpose of suspending its rate hikes is to give the Fed’s policymakers time to look around and assess how much higher borrowing rates are slowing inflation.___CNN ousts CEO Chris Licht after a brief, tumultuous tenureNEW YORK (AP) — Chris Licht was ousted as chief executive at CNN, following a series of missteps and plunging ratings. David Zaslav, the CEO of CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, announced the lea...
