Current Events 6.1
1) Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Lew wanted to have a woman the face of the $10 dollar bill and at first he wanted to have Alexander Hamilton taken off, but he knew the Broadway rap musical about the first Treasury secretary fan base would not be happy. As for the $10, Hamilton will remain and the $5 will still have Abraham Lincoln but both will have images of women added to the backs of the bills.
2) There were three officials charged in the Flint lead crisis. Neil Rockind said that this is rare because "Its very hard to find a similar case where people are charged for just being personally bad or neglectful at their job. Usually there's some personal corrupt intent involved."
3) They are "invigorated" after the big wins in New York. Clinton now has 81 percent of the delegates she needs to clinch the democratic nomination that eluded her eight years ago. Trump strengthened his lead in the Republican race, but he is still far from in the clear. Next Tuesday Trump will have to build on his home state win with top-level performances for the round of primaries in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware, as well as in California.
