U.S. consumers snap up Italian Parmesan before tariffs hit
U.S. consumers who appreciate the tang of aged Italian Parmesan cheese as an aperitif or atop their favorite pasta dish are stocking up ahead of next week’s tariff hike and as dairy producers in the two countries square off. The new tariffs – up from $2.15 to about $6 per 2.2 pounds, equal to a kilogram – take effect on Oct. 18. Parmesan cheese is on a long list of EU products targeted by the Trump administration for retaliatory tariffs approved by the World Trade Organization for illegal EU subsidies to aviation giant Airbus.
Sue Lani Madsen: Rescue crews have to act, even if they get fined for it later
Everyone was just doing his job. When the Pullman Fire Department was called out for traffic control last April, they didn’t expect to be facing water rising from 3 inches to 3 feet in minutes. They did what firefighters do. They rescued 22 people from urban floodwaters using equipment at hand. When the Department of Labor & Industries received a complaint about an unsafe work situation, it investigated how it could have been done better. It did what L&I does. It issued recommendations, citations and a fine.
