National funeral service for Jimmy Carter happening today
A national funeral service will be held for former President Jimmy Carter Thursday at the Washington National Cathedral.
Following the ceremony, Carter's body will be flown back to Georgia, where a private funeral will be held at the Maranatha Baptist Church, where Carter was a Sunday school teacher.
He will then be interred at a private ceremony where he will be buried next to his wife Rosalynn.
Carter died at the age of 100 on Dec. 29, 2024, after spending almost two years in hospice care.
Following an executive order issued by President Joe Biden last month, all executive departments and federal government agencies are closed Thursday "as a mark of respect for James Earl Carter, Jr., the thirty-ninth President of the United States."
FTC cracks down on junk fees, aims to protect consumers in Las Vegas and beyond
A major change could be coming to the world of hotels, concerts, and ticketed events, and it would be a win for consumers in Las Vegas and beyond.
The Federal Trade Commission announced a bipartisan rule that would ban junk ticket and hotel fees that businesses love to tack on at the last minute.
While the rule does not limit what sellers can charge for a product or service, it requires businesses to display the total price more prominently, which could affect a city like Las Vegas in a big way.
