Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:09:09 GMT

President Joe Biden met with representatives of Live Nation, SeatGeek and Airbnb on Thursday as part of his effort to crack down on so-called "junk fees" that add to the cost of purchases far beyond what consumers expect.At the White House Thursday, Live Nation, which is based in Beverly Hills, California, announced that it will provide customers with upfront all-in pricing - meaning the actual purchase price including service charges and any other fees - for its owned venues by September and that Ticketmaster will give consumers the option to view all-in pricing upfront for other venues on the live-entertainment tickets platform.

Logwood pleads no contest to reduced charges for Oakland slaying

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:09:09 GMT

(KRON) -- Delonzo Logwood entered a plea in Alameda County Superior Court Thursday for the death of Eric Ford. According to prosecutors, he pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter, and will face up to 12 years in prison when he is sentenced in July. Logwood's plea is the latest chapter in a criminal justice saga that began in 2015. Then-Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley charged Logwood with murdering Eric Ford, Richard Carter, and Zaire Washington. The three victims were shot to death in separate Oakland shootings in 2008. O'Malley added special enhancements to the charges because the killings allegedly involved street gangs. If Logwood had been found guilty of the murder charges, he would have faced life prison sentences. But the case never went to trial. Instead, 32-year-old Logwood has been locked in Santa Rita Jail for eights years with his case in limbo.

BYERS, Colo. (KDVR) — Just north of the Adams County town of Byers, County Road 2 looked more like a river Thursday.Huge portions of the road had been washed out after unprecedented rain in the county."I haven't seen anything like this," public works manager Matt Fightmaster said. "This has been the longest, wettest spring that I've seen in the 20 years in this industry that I've been doing it."Fightmaster's crews have been working around the clock trying to prioritize damage across the region, with multiple closures now in place. He said the continuous rain has made it difficult to assess or repair some of the damage."If we can’t get it to dry out, then it just delays that process sometimes," he said. "Until we can get to the bottom of that water and inspect it, it’s tough to tell, but there usually is a decent amount of damage there."
