Gas Tax Showdown: President Trump says he’ll move to suspend the federal gasoline tax to blunt pain from Iran-war fuel spikes, but Congress has to approve it. The federal levy is 18.4 cents a gallon for gas and 24.4 cents for diesel, and AAA puts the national average at $4.52—about 50% higher than before the conflict. Bridge Disruptions: In Northern Kentucky, the Brent Spence companion bridge project is now underway, setting up months of ramp closures and detours, with some lasting until 2027. Kentucky State University Lawsuit: A federal class-action seeks to block Kentucky’s takeover and restructuring of KSU, arguing the law targets the HBCU unfairly. Local Watch: Hillview rejected rezoning that would have expanded a Sober Living facility. Markets & Tech: Wall Street edged higher as AI optimism kept pushing stocks toward record highs, even as oil and inflation worries linger.

Note: AI summary from news headlines; neutral sources weighted more to help reduce bias in the result.
