How often do you consider that there are far more serious consequences to unsafe driving than just getting ticketed? In most states, if you killed or injured someone because of distracted driving or playing a role in a road rage incident, you could be criminally charged. If that's not bad enough, these risky driving behaviors also put your loved ones in harm's way, whether or not they are even in the vehicle with you. Think about it: What would your loved ones do if your behind-the-wheel conduct resulted in your being seriously injured or killed in a car crash, or you are sent to prison because your actions contributed to another's injury or death? Bottom line: Poor driving decisions could ruin your freedom and tear your family apart.

"The new minimum wage law does affect us at Selah Tea Cafe. I anticipate the only change to mitigate the mandatory increase in expense will be price changes to our menu items," it read.
The small downtown eatery, which serves tea, coffee and food, raised its prices in phases, culminating in an across-the-board increase of 7 percent — plus 1 percent for other expenses.
