R2S Delivers First Tamir Interceptors Produced in Camden, Arkansas
EAST CAMDEN, Ark. (Oct. 7, 2026) - Raytheon-Rafael Protection Systems (R2S) executives today joined federal and state officials to mark the delivery of the company's first Tamir missiles produced at its new manufacturing facility in Camden, Arkansas. Raytheon is an RTX business.
This delivery represents the beginning of R2S's U.S. production for the Iron Dome Weapon System. R2Splans to scale its production output in Camden to meet domestic and international demand for short- and medium-range air defense.
"For the first time, the United States can produce these interceptors in the United States," said Jonathan Casey, R2S Chief Executive Officer. "Domestic production strengthens America's industrial base and provides the U.S. and its allies with a second reliable, scalable source for these critical defensive systems."
The R2S facility represents a $63 million capital investment that will create up to 60 new jobs in the region. R2S opened the facility in November 2025, building on RTX's existing production capacity at the Highland Industrial Park in East Camden.
"Arkansans aren't shy about being a key part of the arsenal of freedom; in fact, we are proud of it," said Governor Sanders. "I was grateful for the opportunity to break ground on this facility in 2024, to cut the ribbon last November, and, today, to celebrate the completion of the first Tamir missiles produced here in the Natural State. The ongoing partnership between the state of Arkansas, the community of Camden, and R2S is special, and I look forward to more announcements like this in the future."
Originally announced in October 2023, following Governor Sanders' meeting with company executives at the International Paris Air Show, the project has grown from an initial $33 million investment and planned 30 jobs. R2S broke ground on the facility in February 2024 during a ceremony attended by Governor Sanders and other local leaders.
"Aerospace and defense companies are critical to our national and international security, and in Arkansas, our workers are playing an important role in delivering the products that make a difference around the globe," said Clint O'Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. "R2S is delivering its first Tamir missile produced in Camden, Arkansas today - a significant milestone for both the company and the local community. This delivery shows that Arkansans can get the job done and help companies meet their goals, and we are looking forward to many more successes at R2S."
The R2S facility in Camden will also produce SkyHunter(R), the U.S. variant of Tamir, supporting the U.S. Marine Corps' Medium Range Intercept Capability, or MRIC.

Determination Made on Use of Force in Officer-Involved Shooting in Milan, New Hampshire on May 21, 2026
Concord, NH - Attorney General John M. Formella announces that the Attorney General's Office has made a determination as to the lawfulness of the police officer shooting of Zachary Gagne (age 38) in Milan, New Hampshire on the evening of May 21, 2026.
At about 8:54 p.m. on May 21, Corporal Jason Silva of the Berlin Police Department responded to a 911 callwhere Mr. Gagne's wife requested police assistance. During that incident, Corporal Silva fired several shots at Zachary Gagne, striking him in the hand, upper arm, and abdomen.
Although Mr. Gagne survived, Corporal Silva's shooting of him constitutes the use of deadly force under the law. The Attorney General's Office has conducted a full investigation in order to determine whether the use of deadly force against Mr. Gagne was legally justified. After a review of evidence gathered during the course of the investigation, the Attorney General has determined that Corporal Silva's shooting of Zachary Gagne was a legally justified use of deadly force.
The Coos County Attorney's Office has initiated legal proceedings against Zachary Gagne in connection with events relating to his May 21st encounter with Corporal Silva. Those charges are pending. N.H. Rules of Professional Conduct 3.6(a) states that "a lawyer who . . . has participated in the investigation . . . of a matter shall not make an extrajudicial statement that the lawyer knows or reasonably should know will be disseminated by means of public communication and will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding in the matter." As a result, the Attorney General's Office is unable to release further information about its investigation at this time. However, when the current legal proceedings against Mr. Gagne have concluded, the Attorney General's Office will issue its full report on the investigation into Corporal Silva's use of deadly force, with the associated findings and reasoning behind the determination made.

Nearly $44.7M Awarded to Expand Career and Technical Education Access Across Michigan
October 08, 2026
Funding from Michigan Department of Education Supports Districts in CTE Deserts and Regions with Opportunity Gaps
-
LANSING - The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is announcing an additional award of nearly $44.7 million in state funding to 80 districts to expand Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs across the state. The competitive grants aim to increase access to high-quality,state-approved CTE programs for students in communities with limited options or documented opportunity gaps. Funding for the program was appropriated through Section 61v of the State School Aid Act.
"As I've visited schools throughout the state, I have heard from educators, students and community members about the importance of having high-quality, relevant CTE programs in their local schools," said State Superintendent Dr. Glenn Maleyko. "These funds will make a difference in districts across Michigan by providing the resources needed to create learning spaces for our students aligned with high-wage, high-skill and in-demand careers."
The latest funding awarded--which is going to traditional school districts, charter schools and intermediate school districts--brings the total to $68.5 million when first-round funding from April is included. Funds are being awarded over a three-year period. Several districts received funding in both rounds and all grants awarded reflect district's readiness to expand CTE programs that meet regional and statewide workforce needs.
"Career and technical education opens doors for students by connecting classroom learning to real-world opportunities," said Grand Rapids Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Leadriane Roby. "This state funding allows us to continue expanding innovative programs that prepare our scholars for in-demand careers while meeting local workforce needs."
Grand Rapids Public Schools was awarded $487,810 and is one of 80 districts included in the second round of schools receiving first-year funds. The district will use the funds to support programs in agricultural operations and related sciences, woodworking and business administration management and operations. The district offers students five distinct career-focused academies, college and career preparation programs, dual college enrollment, advanced placement courses and hands-on experience in industry.
In the Straits of Mackinac, Mackinac Island Public Schools received $133,100 to support a new construction trades program.
"Thanks to the 61V grant, our students will get direct, real-world application and trades training without having to navigate the logistical hurdles of leaving the island, said Kelly Lipovsky, superintendent and principal of Mackinac Island Public Schools. "This grant fills a critical gap in our school's programming, and we were thrilled to bring this opportunity to our students."
Lipovsky noted that island life presents unique instructional challenges, particularly during winter months when mainland vocational facilities are inaccessible.
"This is also a win for Mackinac Island as a whole. Anyone who lives or works here knows that maintaining our community requires specialized, intricate craftsmanship. The demand for skilled construction trades is constantly growing, whether it's preserving historic structures or handling local repairs under our unique island conditions."
In total, the grant awards will fund 229 new CTE programs across 117 school districts statewide, including 57 middle schools. A complete list of awardees for the second round, along with additional information, can be found on the 61v Grant webpage.
Career and Technical Education programs offer traditional classes that many remember and still play an important role in preparing students for the current job market. However, modern CTE programs now include areas such as advanced manufacturing, mechatronics, construction trades, hospitality, health sciences, engineering, cosmetology, digital technology, agriculture, culinary arts and other high-value sectors.
"It's exciting to see the variety of programs and the diversity of schools across our state that will benefit," said State Board of Education President Dr. Pamela Pugh. "School leaders will now be able to create instructional spaces that open new learning opportunities for students who may never have had these types of experiences."
All the CTE Expansion grants awarded support Michigan's Top 10 Strategic Education Plan, particularly goals related to expanding secondary learning opportunities for all students, increasing the percentage of all students who graduate from high school and increasing the percentage of adults with a post-secondary credential. The target population for these grants includes students who currently lack access to state approved CTE programs or who need expanded pathways aligned with Michigan's economic priorities.

Louisiana invests $37.7 million to strengthen rural health care workforce
Year 1 funding supports education, training, recruitment, and retention in rural communities
-
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Oct 08, 2026 - The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) today announced up to $37.7 million in Year 1 workforce investments through the Rural Health Transformation Program to expand health care training opportunities and help rural providers recruit and retain the professionals they need.
Funded bythe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the investments connect Louisiana's public universities and community and technical colleges with rural hospitals, clinics, and other health care providers to build a stronger workforce pipeline in rural communities.
"Access to health care starts with having the right people in the right places," said LDH Secretary Bruce D. Greenstein. "These investments address the rural workforce challenge from multiple directions -- helping Louisianans train for health care careers, connecting that training to real workforce needs, and giving rural providers additional tools to recruit and retain clinicians. We are building a workforce that can support better access to care in rural Louisiana for years to come."
The $37.7 million investment includes three workforce initiatives:
Rural HERO -- up to $20 million
The Rural Healthcare Employment Reinvestment Opportunity program will support campus-level programs through Louisiana's four public postsecondary systems: the LSU System, Southern University System, University of Louisiana System, and Louisiana Community and Technical College System. Each participating campus will partner with at least one rural health care provider, connecting education and training programs with workforce needs in rural communities. Programs will begin in October 2026 and continue through September 30, 2029.
Rural Clinician Credit Bank -- up to $12.7 million
LDH is awarding up to $12.7 million through the Rural Clinician Credit Bank to help rural health care providers recruit and retain physicians, nurses, dentists, EMS personnel, behavioral health professionals, and other clinicians. Fifty-three providers were selected for funding from 136 applications.
The program provides matching funds for recruitment and retention incentives, including sign-on and retention bonuses, relocation assistance, and professional training.
Grow Your Own -- up to $5 million
The Grow Your Own initiative, administered through the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, will create health care career pathways across 39 campuses. The program is designed to reach students and workers at different stages through three pathways:
* Discover: Dual-enrollment opportunities that allow high school students to begin health care coursework before graduation.
* Earn: Short-term credential programs that prepare participants to enter the health care workforce.
* Advance: Stackable education and training pathways that allow health care workers, including certified nursing assistants and licensed practical nurses, to advance toward higher-level credentials while remaining in the workforce.
"These investments are designed to work together," said Julie Foster Hagan, executive director of the Office of Rural Health Transformation and Sustainability. "We are creating more opportunities for people to train for health care careers close to home, connecting education directly to the needs of rural providers, and helping those providers recruit and retain the workforce they need. Building those connections is critical to creating a stronger, more sustainable rural health care system."
Year 2 funding opportunities are expected to open in November 2026.

Austin, Texas
Governor Greg Abbott today announced Blue Origin Manufacturing LLC is constructing an advanced manufacturing and operations campus in Hutto, with a $554,780,000 capital investment that will create more than 2,000 new jobs. A Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant of $18,171,000 and a Veteran Created Job Bonus of $10,000 have been extended to Blue Origin.
"Texas is the launchpad to a future of possibilities," said GovernorAbbott. "Blue Origin's sizeable expansion of their investment in Texas in support of their satellite communications network is testament to the state's leadership in the advanced manufacturing and space industries. Texas offers innovative technology leaders the space, speed, and talent needed to rapidly scale operations."
"Texas has long understood what it takes to lead in space exploration," said Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp. "We're proud to grow our footprint here in Texas, tap into the world-class talent this state has to offer, and help ensure America remains the leader in space innovation."
"Blue Origin's decision to expand in Hutto is a strong vote of confidence in Williamson County and the pro-business climate that makes Texas a destination for leading companies," said Senator Charles Schwertner. "This investment will bring high-quality career opportunities while strengthening Central Texas' role in the aerospace and advanced manufacturing industries."
"Blue Origin's decision to invest more than half a billion dollars in Hutto and create more than 2,000 new great-paying jobs is a tremendous win for Williamson County," said Representative Caroline Harris Davila. "This project will also create new opportunities for Williamson County businesses, contractors, and suppliers. This investment is yet another example of what is possible when we maintain a strong business environment, free from burdensome regulations and high taxes."
"With this investment by Blue Origin and recent expansions by other industry leaders, Hutto is becoming an anchor point on the Highway 79 tech corridor," said Hutto Mayor Mike Snyder. "Our policies and our approach to business are drawing in the kind of companies that create career opportunities, not just jobs. That's what it takes to build a place where people want to live, work, and play."
"Williamson County is thrilled to welcome Blue Origin to our community. This project will create thousands of high-paying jobs while making a significant investment in our students, schools, and future workforce -- strengthening our community for generations to come," said Williamson County Judge Steve Snell. "We thank Governor Abbott and the State for their efforts to secure this exciting opportunity."
"Great economic development should strengthen the community alongside the economy," said City of Hutto Director of Economic Development Cheney Gamboa. "Our residents want us to be thoughtful about how we grow and focus on creating lasting value. Blue Origin aligns with those priorities by bringing quality jobs, diversifying our tax base, and creating an opportunity for sustainable growth that supports the quality of life we want for Hutto today and well into the future."

TEF is a performance-based grant, administered by the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office within the Office of the Governor, that may be awarded to a business relocation or expansion project for which one Texas site is in competition with out-of-state locations to create new, good-paying jobs in the community and attract significant new capital investment to the state.

State Releases Hartford Public Schools Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025 Forensic Audit Report
(HARTFORD, CT) - The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) today released an independent forensic audit of Hartford Public Schools (HPS) conducted by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA). CLA provided a written report and presentation of its findings to the Connecticut State Board of Education at the board's regular meeting on October 7, 2026.
The forensic audit is thelatest phase of CSDE's ongoing intervention in HPS. In June 2024, the State Board of Education authorized Education Commissioner Charlene M. Russell-Tucker to take necessary actions to ensure the stability of the district's fiscal operations. On April 17, 2026, the CSDE expanded that work by entering into an agreement with CLA to conduct a compilation of forecasted revenues and expenditures followed by a forensic audit of HPS's Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, FY 2025, and FY 2026 budgets.
According to CLA's report, "CLA performed extensive analyses using available financial records, system data, supporting documentation, and interviews, [but] was not able to complete a full forensic reconstruction of all financial activity occurring during FY2024 and FY2025. Significant turnover among District leadership and finance personnel, limitations in the availability and consistency of historical records, incomplete email productions, and other documentation gaps prevented CLA from fully validating certain historical transactions and budgetary decisions or definitively determining the precise causes and magnitude of certain financial variances and deficits."
Based on the procedures that CLA completed using the records and information available to it, CLA states in its report that the forensic audit "identified weaknesses in budgeting, financial reporting, documentation retention, governance, and oversight that reduced financial transparency and limited the ability of management and the Board of Education to fully evaluate the District's financial position and the factors contributing to recurring budget deficits."
CLA identified the following 14 key observations across budgeting and financial reporting, governance and oversight, and internal controls and monitoring:
* Budgeting and accounting practices did not consistently provide clear visibility into the causes and magnitude of budget shortfalls.
* Budget transfers and expenditure reclassifications were frequently used to address account-level deficits, reducing transparency regarding the underlying operational drivers of budget variances.
* Certain expenditures were recorded in accounts that did not accurately reflect the nature of the related costs.
* Public budget materials, MUNIS data, and other financial reports did not consistently present comparable information or clearly identify the expenditure accounts and operational factors contributing to reported deficits.
* These conditions limited the reliability of account-level budget-to-actual analyses and complicated efforts to determine the precise causes of the District's financial challenges.
* Opportunities exist to strengthen board and departmental oversight of budgeting and financial management activities.
* While Board members generally understood their responsibility for approving the annual budget and monitoring District finances, understanding of budget transfer requirements, finance committee responsibilities, and related financial policies was not consistent.
* Department leaders reported limited involvement in final budget decisions and limited access to current budget information.
* Financial reports provided to the board reflected revised budget amounts after transfers rather than clearly displaying performance against the originally approved budget.
* Opportunities exist to strengthen controls related to grants management, procurement documentation, and employee and vendor master data.
* Grant-funded programs were not always clearly distinguished from operating activities or formally reassessed when grant funding expired.
* Supporting procurement documentation was not always readily available at the transaction level.
* Duplicate contact information was identified within employee and vendor records, and matches were identified between active employees and vendors that received payments during the review period.
* While these matches do not, by themselves, indicate fraud or improper relationships, they warrant documented review to determine whether legitimate relationships existed, required disclosures were made, and applicable conflict-of-interest and procurement requirements were followed.
CLA also issued 33 recommendations to the district and eight additional recommendations for the HPS Board of Education. According to CLA, implementation of those recommendations would improve "transparency, accountability, and financial stewardship throughout the District."
The report notes that FY 2026 information was not sufficiently final to support definitive findings. CLA will begin its FY 2026 review following completion of the district's fiscal year-end closeout.
The CSDE remains committed to supporting the district's efforts to achieve stability in its fiscal operations.
