White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett Maintained Coinbase Stake Amid Trump Administration's Crypto Policy Reshaping

White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett Maintained Coinbase Stake Amid Trump Administration's Crypto Policy Reshaping

Kevin Hassett, Director of the White House National Economic Council, held between $1 million and $5 million in Coinbase shares at the end of 2025, according to his previously unreported 2025 annual financial disclosure. This occurred as the Trump administration actively reshaped federal cryptocurrency policy. Hassett, who advised Coinbase from 2021 until January 2025 before joining the White House, stated he recused himself from crypto matters and received ethics guidance. However, ethics experts, including Virginia Canter of Democracy Defenders Fund, question the extent and practical implications of such a recusal, especially given crypto's prominence as a major initiative within the Trump administration and the NEC's role in coordinating economic policy across various agencies. The crypto working group's final report listed Robin Colwell, a deputy assistant to the president for national economic policy, as the NEC representative instead of Hassett.

Senators Hassan and Young Introduce Legislation to Reform Child Tax Credit for Working Families

Senators Hassan and Young Introduce Legislation to Reform Child Tax Credit for Working Families

U.S. Senators Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.) have introduced legislation in the Senate, which has a House companion bill, the Stronger Start for Working Families Act. This bill aims to reform the Child Tax Credit (CTC) by allowing parents to begin earning towards the refundable portion of the credit from the first dollar of income. Currently, parents must earn at least $2,500 before they can start accruing the refundable portion of the CTC. This proposed change is designed to provide more support to the lowest-income working families, ensuring that their initial earnings contribute directly to their eligibility for the credit. The legislation is projected to cost the federal government approximately $1 billion annually and is described as a targeted, pro-work initiative.

Hancock County Planning Zoning Commission Rejects Data Center Rezoning Request

Hancock County Planning Zoning Commission Rejects Data Center Rezoning Request

The Hancock County Planning & Zoning Commission in Northern Iowa has unanimously voted to deny a request to rezone 724 acres of Concord Township from agricultural to industrial. This rezoning was sought by a limited liability corporation named MCNI for the potential development of a data center near Garner. The decision followed a nearly three-hour meeting with a standing-room-only crowd, where approximately three dozen individuals spoke during a public hearing. The majority of speakers expressed opposition to the data center project. Concerns raised by residents included the belief that data centers do not effectively create economic development and growth, and that they can negatively impact the quality of life due to constant noise, air pollution, and rising utility costs, potentially leading to decreased property values. Conversely, some, like Garner city councilman Darrell Schumacher, argued that Hancock County needs the economic boost a data center could provide, citing benefits for schools and the l...
