Bernie Sanders’s Wife Hires Lawyers Over Burlington College Loan Allegations
Bernie Sanders’s wife, Jane Sanders, has reportedly hired lawyers following a federal investigation into her time as president of the now-defunct Burlington College in Vermont.

Hawaii named ‘worst state to make a living’ … again
HONOLULU (Hawaii News Now) -At least we’re consistent: For a seventh straight year, Hawaii has been named the worst state to make a living thanks to its astronomical cost of living.
Hawaii News Now takes a closer look at the high cost of living and the challenges people face living in paradise.
