Lieutenant Colonel George E. Hardy, one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen to fly combat missions during World War II, has died in Sarasota, Florida. He was 100 years old.
The Protect Voters First Coalition is voicing concerns about Proposition 50, arguing that California’s proposed redistricting plan is designed to give Democrats an advantage in next year’s U.S. House midterm elections.
