MLB’s tickets for postseason Orioles games are running out — the official retail site only had a handful of playoffs games still open Monday evening, four days after sales went live.You can still grab tickets from resellers, though they could be pricier. SeatGeek is the MLB’s “official ticket marketplace,” though the main difference between using that website and others, like StubHub or Vivid Seats, is that the others will take a few more clicks. Ticketmaster, the beleaguered admissions giant, had some resale tickets available Monday night but only for the American League Division Series.The MLB site only had tickets for the three wild-card games, all starting at $120. The Orioles could wind up in a wild-card spot if they don’t clinch the AL East title before Sunday, the end of the regular season. If the Orioles take that title, they will not play in the wild-card series next week.Resellers had wild-card tickets for Camden Yards going for less tha...

Court appointee proposes Alabama congressional districts to provide representation to Black voters

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:14:54 GMT

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A court-appointed special master on Monday submitted three proposals for new congressional districts in Alabama as federal judges oversee the drawing of new lines to provide greater representation for Black voters.The three proposals all create a second district where Black voters comprise a majority of the voting age population or close to it — something that state lawmakers refused to do when they drew lines this summer. Richard Allen, the court-appointed special master, wrote that all three proposals follow the court’s instruction to create a second district in the state where Black voters have an opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. A three-judge panel is overseeing the drawing of new lines after ruling that Alabama lawmakers ignored their finding that the state — which is 27% Black — should have more than one district with a substantial percentage of Black voters. Alabama has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to put the redraw on hold as t...

Canada’s industry minister made a point of calling out Pepsi and Coca-Cola for not sending representatives to a meeting he convened on Monday with manufacturing companies to discuss stabilizing grocery prices.François-Philippe Champagne singled out the two companies when asked by a journalist what the consequences would be if major industry players did not succeed in stopping high inflation. “This morning, (their CEOs) did not attend the meeting,” Champagne said of beverage giants Pepsi and Coca-Cola. “I intend to call on them and I will continue to do so. … I don’t stop,” he told reporters.The Canadian leaders of seven international manufacturing companies, including Nestlé and Kraft Heinz, met with Champagne. He summoned them to answer to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s call earlier this month for Canadian grocers to come up with a plan to stabilize prices by Thanksgiving.If major grocers fail to deliver ideas, Champagne said, “the c...

Ontario proposes new way of funding GO Transit stations, spurring nearby development

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:14:54 GMT

Ontario’s minister of infrastructure is proposing a new way of funding GO Transit stations that she says will both increase transit service and housing nearby.Kinga Surma says legislation she introduced today would let municipalities fund the design and construction of new GO stations.Municipalities could then recover the costs over time by levying a Station Contribution Fee on development that gets built around the station.The fee would be a voluntary tool for municipalities and they would apply to the province to use it.The government says they would need to show a reduction in development costs to help offset the fee for developers, such as reduced parking requirements or faster approvals.The legislation would also allow the Toronto Transit Commission to enter into cross-boundary service agreements with neighbouring transit agencies.
