EU prosecutor swings into action over misused European cash in Bulgaria

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:16:28 GMT

European Public Prosecutor Laura Codruța Kövesi is finally turning up the heat on Bulgaria — long seen as one of the EU’s most glaring examples of Brussels’ impotence in the face of the theft of European funds. On Thursday, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) raided 28 homes and offices as part of efforts to investigate the misuse of EU cash in railway projects, while the mayor of a small town was arrested Wednesday.A reckoning has been expected for several years, with leading politicians from Bulgaria’s reformist camp arguing that the siphoning of EU funds has become one of the chief revenue streams of organized crime groups. The Center for the Study of Democracy, a nongovernmental organization in Sofia, concluded in 2020 that as much as 15 percent of the country’s EU money was regularly misappropriated. EPPO is currently conducting 143 investigations in Bulgaria with “estimated total damages” worth a total of €492 million, according ...

Rent control ballot question violates constitutional requirements, fiscal group argues

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:16:28 GMT

A New England fiscal group argued Friday that an effort to repeal a statewide ban on rent control violates two constitutional provisions that govern whether ballot questions can make it before voters in fall 2024.The Fiscal Alliance Foundation submitted comments in opposition to a proposed ballot question filed by Rep. Mike Connolly that would scrap a portion of state law banning rent control and replace it with new language allowing municipalities to regulate residential evictions, rents and fees, brokers’ fees, and the removal of housing units from the rental housing market.In a letter to Attorney General Andrea Campbell, foundation chair Danielle Webb said the question crossed two sections of the state constitution that prohibit ballot questions that create takings of property without just compensation and proposals that address multiple unrelated policies in the same question.Webb said because the question grants municipalities the power to regulate residential rents, fees...

The two small towns have the grim distinction of experiencing the two deadliest wildfires in U.S. history — tragedies that played out in a remarkably similar way.“It’s not what we want to be remembered for,” Crick said. Both blazes started in the ov...
