Tax Amnesty ends next week

Those who owe delinquent taxes have until New Year’s Eve to clear their tax bills during the state’s amnesty period.

Phone app to curb drunk driving

People celebrating the holidays a little too much can avoid getting behind the wheel by using the SaferRide app.


The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration designed the app, which provides a simple method of calling local taxi services or a pre-programmed contact to request a ride home.

It is available for both iPhone and Android.
