Girls are falling in love with wrestling, the nation’s fastest-growing high school sport

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Jody Mikhail was a sophomore at Pennsylvania’s Cumberland Valley High School when a poster for a new girls’ wrestling club caught her eye. So Mikhail, a senior now, tried the sport. “I fell in love with it the first time,” she said. Unlike previous generations, she’s hardly alone. Girls’ wrestling has become the fastest-growing high school sport in the country, sanctioned by a surging number of states and bolstered by a movement of medal-winning female wrestlers, parents and the male-dominated ranks of coaches and administrators who saw it as a necessity and a matter of equality.

State pulls $23 million in pandemic aid from health projects as allocation deadline nears

With fewer than 10 months until Nevada must allocate all funding received through the American Rescue Plan (ARP), state legislators on Wednesday agreed to pull more than $23 million in previously approved funding from various health projects unlikely to meet federal deadlines. Scraped funding included four state health projects and personnel in the agency responsible for children and family mental health amid hiring challenges. The de-obligations also included cost-cutting measures in certain ARP-funded projects, but also mean the state now has $47 million in unused ARP funds.

Which Nevadans can now file their taxes for free? New online program is part of effort to ease the filing process and comes amid opposition from for-profit tax preparation companies

Nearly half a million Nevadans are eligible for a new service allowing them to directly file their taxes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for free. Nevada is one of 12 states included in the Direct File pilot program, a new tool that permits low- and middle-income filers with simple tax situations to file directly with the agency online. The program officially launched Tuesday, accepting returns at all hours after an initial pilot had time constraints. Who is eligible? To use the tool, filers must have a W-2, 1099-G, SSA-1099 or 1099-INT form. Income received from independent contractor and gig work, pensions, online marketplaces or awards cannot be reported with Direct File. The tool is targeted at lower and middle-income filers, so there are income restrictions on the use of Direct File. Ineligible groups include: • Individuals making more than $200,000 a year ($160,200 if a filer had multiple employers) • Joint filers whose combined wages are more than $250,000, or for whom one spouse earns more than $200,000 • Individual filers who are married but filing separately, and earn more than $125,000
