Homeless Emergency Declared in Hawaii

By: Greg Botelho

On Friday the governor of Hawaii signed an emergency proclamation to fix the number of people without homes in the state. With 7,620 homeless people and 465 people per 100,000 citizens, Hawaii has the highest rate of homelessness in the country. The proclamation would like to allow $1.3 million to solve the problem in the state by setting up shelters and eventually a housing facility for all families. I chose to read this article and wrote about it because i wondered if the issue was due to a storm or something else occurring in the state. I also see homelessness in many other states around the country and i wondered about the problem in Hawaii as well as the other states in the country. CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE

2024 Olympics: Five Cities in the Running to Host Games

By: Chris Murphy

This article is about the five cities in the running to host the 2024 Olympics. Los angles, Rome, Paris, Budapest, and Hamburg are all contenders in the running. Hungry is the only country that has never hosted the Olympics and Germany only hosted them in Munich not Hamburg. Los Angles stepped in for Boston after the city could not be in the running anymore, LA is a strong contender because they would not have to build a new venue because the city already has many facilities that can be used. Rome was in the running to host the 2020 Olympics but had to drop out due to economic difficulties and they are now running for 2024. Paris has failed to be the host cities three times but has hosted the games twice already. Budapest would only be the second city to host the games in Eastern Europe, Moscow being the first. Weather Hamburg stays in the running is up to the residents of the cities, if they vote no on hosting the games Hamburg will be pulled out of the running. I chose this article because the Olympic games are something that interests me and i could like to see them be hosted in the United States in 2024.CLICK FOR ARTICLE
