Aberdeen’s city port set to make big comeback
SUMMARY: The Mayor of Aberdeen, Charles Scott, has recently achieved his goal to revitalize the city's port after years of inactivity. The city received a $4 million grant in 2021 to improve its railway systems at the port, completing the economic puzzle that will help boost the city's economy. The port, railways, and downtown development are all contributing to the economic boom Aberdeen is experiencing. This multimodal completeness of the port and railways is expected to have a significant economic impact on the entire region, as well as on Aberdeen specifically, for the next 40 years.

SUMMARY: Beth Ann White, 52, was found guilty of causing a crash that killed a mother and her six-month-old son, resulting in life-threatening injuries to the surviving children. She was convicted of four counts of aggravated DUI and faces up to 25 years in prison per count. Her attorney has filed a motion asking the court to disregard the jury's verdict, arguing that there was insufficient evidence, bias, and an impossibility in determining White's blood alcohol content at the time of the crash. White's sentencing is scheduled for May 15, where the court will make a decision based on the jury's verdict.
