Be specific - Page A1 "City,Austin schools look for...."limited tax swap — in which certain school services could be taken over and funded by the city — would keep the district from having to pay $11 million to the state. 

2. How many years will it take California and NY to raise the minimum wage to $15? Page A4 "Calif., NY to phase in $15...."It take them 6 years. (in 2022)

I would want to visit the United Kingdom because I would like to see the Big Ben and the Eye.

5. Do you like idea of Instagram expanding videos from 15 second to 1 minute? Why or Why not? Page D1 "Instagram videos...."I do like that idea because then you can record for a longer amount of time and you can fit more things into the video. 

Short Answer: As we inch closer and closer to the final decisions being made on who will represent the two major political parties in the next Presidential election, I am curious where you stand today. I know we have written about this process and who is doing what in previous current events quizzes, but perhaps you have changed your mind or something has occurred since we last covered this topic. Please address both political parties when you write your answers to the following questions:

Who are the major candidates left in the races?
Hiliary clinton, 

Are you supportive of a particular candidate? Why?


Do you think the United States is become more divided or more united as a whole as this process continues?


What concerns you most about this election?


What are the big topics you think are pushing the discussions these candidates are having?


Which topics are the most important to you?
