Break 3: ESOG – Ingles 6 – Disney on Ice
Story 6: Georgia Gwinnett College economist discusses thoughts for upcoming Federal Reserve meeting
The Federal Reserve Board faces a challenging decision at its upcoming meeting regarding interest rates and inflation. Dr. Philip Vinson, an economist at Georgia Gwinnett College, believes that raising interest rates is effective in addressing inflation, even if it doesn't immediately lower prices. Instead, it aims to reduce the rate of price increases. While inflation has dropped from its peak of 9% to around 3.2%, it remains above the Fed's 2% target. Further rate hikes could risk pushing the economy into a recession, impacting business growth, employment, housing, and the stock market. The Fed's choice between hitting the inflation target and avoiding a recession will be a critical one.

Police have released a surveillance image and are seeking assistance in identifying her. Anyone with information is urged to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers for a possible cash reward
