Federal Reserve Chair Addresses Inflation, Cyclosporiasis Cases Rise, New York Halts Data Center Construction

Why it matters locally: While the national total of cyclosporiasis cases is rising, Missouri residents should be aware that the state has previously experienced outbreaks, and increased vigilance regarding food safety is always prudent.

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh addressed the House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday, stating that inflation would be "a thing of the past." Separately, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported nearly 7,000 confirmed or suspected cases of cyclosporiasis across the nation. This count includes individuals identified with the parasitic infection. In state-level developments, New York has implemented a moratorium on the construction of new large data centers. The state became the first to enact such a policy.
