FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A drug possession charge against South Florida rapper Kodak Black was dismissed Friday, two months after an arrest, though a drug trafficking case from 2022 remains ongoing. Kapri still faces a tampering with evidence charge related to the arrest, but his attorney, Bradford Cohen, hopes to get that dismissed, as well. Cohen hopes the drug charge being dismissed will prompt a federal judge to free Kapri. Kapri was arrested in 2022 on charges of trafficking in oxycodone and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. As Kodak Black, Kapri has sold more than 30 million singles, with massive hits such as “Super Gremlin,” which reached No.

Two-thirds of U.S. taxpayers say they spend “too much” on federal income taxes, as tax season begins. About 7 in 10 say the same about local property taxes, while roughly 6 in 10 feel that way about state sales tax. Generally speaking, Republicans are more likely than Democrats to view taxes as unfair, to say they are paying too much in taxes, and to see taxes as a poor value. “We tend to think of local government as less partisan.”Among those who pay federal income taxes, half say they would prefer having fewer government services if it meant reducing their bill. About one-quarter say they grasp the calculations for federal income tax.

Florida has regained its status as the best state for retirees in 2024. That's according to WalletHub's latest "Best and Worst States to Retire" study. The state doesn't levy any income tax, which means income from Social Security and withdrawals from retirement accounts won't be taxed at the state level. If you prefer mountains over beaches, Colorado ranks as the second-best state for retirees, according to WalletHub. And although Colorado partially taxes income from Social Security and withdrawals from retirement accounts, the state allows for tax deductions for certain retirement income sources for qualified taxpayers.

JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines on Friday said they are appealing a federal judge's ruling issued earlier this week that blocks the two carriers' planned merger on antitrust grounds. JetBlue had planned to buy Spirit for $3.8 billion in a deal struck in the summer of 2022. A federal judge on Tuesday, however, barred that combination, saying it would eliminate the budget carrier and mean higher prices for cost-conscious consumers. Spirit shares extended gains posted during the regular session on Friday, rising more than 10% in after-hours trading, while JetBlue's were little changed.
