This week: In unprecedented rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against race-conscious admissions practices at universities and killed the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness program. Local health experts warn that the combination of waning immunity against COVID-19 and the sluggish booster rates could potentially set the stage for a resurgence. Allegheny County Executive Fitzgerald has taken legal action to eliminate the pay floor for county workers.
