Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 17:06:36 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – As ever, the chief financial officer of Costco remains vague about any plans to increase membership fees. But make no mistake: The price hikes are coming.“It’s a question of when, not if,” Costco CFO Richard Galanti said during an earnings call last week, echoing previous statements he’s made in past calls.“You know, it's a little longer this time around since June of '17, so we're six years into it,” he added, referring to the last time Costco raised fees in 2017 (up from $55 to $60 for Gold Star members, and from $110 to $120 for executive memberships). “But you'll see it happen at some point. We can’t really tell you if it’s in our plans or not.” Costco crackdown: Can people in my household still use my Costco membership? In the 15 years prior to 2017’s membership increase, Costco had raised fees every five years and seven months, on average, as Galanti himself noted in a 2022 earnings call. If that trend had held steady, another price hike would have taken effect i...

Communities, officials react after controversial zero-bail policy takes effect in L.A. County 

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 17:06:36 GMT

The new zero-bail policy takes effect in L.A. County on Saturday, but the controversial law is causing a stir amongst residents and law enforcement officials alike. The policy would allow some criminal suspects with non-violent or non-serious crimes to be cited and released when they would have previously been held on bond. A decision was made in July by the Los Angeles County Superior Court to institute the system, but less than 24 hours after the policy was made law, there was already controversy.  Video shows thieves ransacking Nike store in Southern California Court papers submitted to the L.A. County Superior Court on behalf of a dozen cities claim that the new policy is a threat to public safety. The 12 communities listed in the suit are: Arcadia Artesia Covina Downey Glendora Industry Lakewood La Verne Palmdale Santa Fe Springs Whittier Officials in those communities are looking to delay the program’s implemen...

Jrue Holiday being traded to Boston, AP source says, as Portland continues making moves

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 17:06:36 GMT

Jrue Holiday is being traded to the Boston Celtics, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Sunday, a move that comes just four days after being sent to the Portland Trail Blazers in the deal that sent Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks.Holiday goes to the Celtics in exchange for Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams and two future first-round draft picks, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade has yet to be approved by the league.ESPN first reported the agreement.Flipping Holiday for Brogdon, Williams and more draft capital means the Trail Blazers have turned Lillard into four players (with Deandre Ayton and Toumani Camara also included as part of Wednesday’s deal), three first-round picks and two pick swaps. That’s a strong haul for Lillard, the seven-time All-Star who was officially welcomed to Milwaukee by his new team on Saturday.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBASource
