NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s request to add
a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal
voter registration form cannot be enforced, a federal judge
ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C.,
sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that sued the
Trump administration over his executive order to overhaul U.S.
elections.

She ruled that the proof-of-citizenship directive is an
unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers.

Portland, Oregon residents will see an increase in their utility bills
this summer after the City Council approved a plan to raise combined
water and sewer bills by more than 6%.

The increase, which is the highest the city has seen in over a
decade, will result in an average household bill of approximately
$160 per month, or nearly $2,000 annually.

The council’s decision, passed on Wednesday, is expected to
generate $439.9 million in utility revenue over the next year.
