This is on top of existing local taxes. For example, if you want to vacation in a short-term rental at the beach in Santa Cruz, your total tax will be 29%.While raising funds to pay for affordable housing is noble, taxing people who just want to go on vacation is not the way to do it. Families forced to pay 29% tax may not find the extra funds available and either vacation less or not at all.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:57:03 GMT

MONTREAL (AP) — Quebec is looking internationally for support as it struggles to battle more than 160 forest fires during what federal officials say is shaping up to be among Canada’s worst fire seasons ever.With more than 480 wilderness firefighters on the ground, Quebec can fight around 30 fires, François Legault told reporters Monday, adding that normally firefighters would come from other provinces to help.“When I talk to the premiers of other provinces, they have their hands full,” Legault told a briefing in Quebec City.On Friday afternoon there were 324 fires burning across Canada. As of Monday morning that had grown to 413, and by late afternoon, the total jumped again to 42.“The situation remains serious,” Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair said. “The images that we have seen so far this season are some of the most severe we have we have ever witnessed in Canada and the current forecast for the next few months indicates the potential for continued higher-than-n...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:57:03 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jacob deGrom’s return for the AL West-leading Texas Rangers has been pushed back until at least late June after the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.DeGrom hasn’t pitched since April 28, when he exited early because of injury concerns for the second time in a span of three starts. He was placed on the 15-day IL the following day after an MRI showed inflammation in his right elbow.General manager Chris Young said deGrom “hasn’t improved maybe as quickly as we had hoped” after five bullpen sessions since going on the IL. Another MRI and additional testing are now planned for the 34-year-old right-hander the Rangers signed to a $185 million, five-year contract last December.The transfer to the 60-day IL makes June 28 the earliest he could be activated.“We don’t see anything before that as a possibility,” Young said. “We want to make sure that we proceed cautiously.”DeGrom was back with the team Mond...

McClanahan earns MLB-leading 9th win, Rays beat Red Sox 4-1

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:57:03 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — Rays slugger Luke Raley hit a deep fly ball toward the 420-foot marker in the center field triangle — the deepest part of Fenway Park. Kiké Hernandez tracked it, leapt and reached over the fence to snare it. An inning later, Alex Verdugo drifted toward the right field stands, where the short wall juts out away from home pate beyond the Pesky Pole. Brushing off a fan in the front row, he gloved Francisco Mejía’s potential home run to preserve a scoreless tie.Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash didn’t know how many more chances his team would get. “You want to get greedy, certainly in this ballpark against that team,” Cash said after Shane McClanahan held off Boston 4-1 on Monday to earn his major league-leading ninth victory. “You’ve got to find a way to get greedy. And they prevented that early on.”McClanahan (9-1) pitched six innings of five-hit ball, and Raley eventually found a wall the Red Sox couldn’t leap above to help the Rays beat Boston for the thir...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:57:03 GMT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Viktor Hovland didn’t have much time to celebrate the biggest win of his career. One day after winning the Memorial, he went 36 holes as a caddie in U.S. Open qualifying Monday.Hovland, who won in a playoff Sunday at Muirfield Village and earned $3.6 million, was on the bag for Zach Bauchou, his former roommate at Oklahoma State.This was not planned all that far in advance.“We went to dinner on Saturday and I jokingly said, ‘Why don’t you come caddie on Monday?’ He said, ‘Dude, I will.’ If he says he’s going to do something, he’ll do it,” Bauchou said.Hovland was one shot out of the lead at the Memorial on Saturday. He closed with a 2-under 70 and then won with a par in the playoff over Denny McCarthy.Hovland declined to be interviewed. He had a dozen or so people following at Brookside Golf & Country Club, some of them taking video of the No. 5 player in the world ranking a bunker or tending the flag.When the long day was over, Hovl...

Especie misteriosa enterraba a sus muertos y tallaba símbolos 100.000 años antes que los humanos

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:57:03 GMT

(CNN) — Investigadores encontraron evidencia de que los miembros de una misteriosa especie humana arcaica enterraban a sus muertos y tallaban símbolos en las paredes de las cuevas mucho antes de la evidencia más temprana de entierros por parte de los humanos modernos.Los cerebros pertenecientes a la especie extinta, conocida como Homo naledi, tenían alrededor de un tercio del tamaño de un cerebro humano moderno.Estas revelaciones podrían cambiar la comprensión que se tiene en la actualidad de la evolución humana, porque hasta ahora tales comportamientos solo se asociaban con el Homo sapiens y los neandertales con cerebros más grandes.Los hallazgos se detallan en tres estudios que fueron aceptados para su publicación en la revista eLife, y las versiones preliminares de los artículos están disponibles en BioRxiv.El equipo de estudio expone fósiles de Homo naledi en el Instituto de Estudios Evolutivos de la Universidad de Witwatersrand, en Johannesburgo.
