📰 News we're reading

• State College airport's new flights to Charlotte are now underway. What to know (centredaily.com) — New twice-daily nonstop flights between State College Regional Airport and Charlotte have begun, giving local travelers easier one-stop access to hundreds of American Airlines destinations and potentially fewer winter-weather delays. Officials say early bookings are strong and view the route as a key step toward expanding air service, including a future low-cost Florida connection to boost the State College-area economy.
   

• Gen Z women want politicians who can make the 'American dream' feel attainable (newsfromthestates.com) — Penn State student organizers say it's becoming increasingly difficult for young people to afford living in State College, with one-bedroom rents around $2,000 and students stockpiling groceries when they go home. Their frustrations feed into a broader national trend of Gen Z women demanding concrete political solutions on housing, wages, and everyday costs rather than vague promises about affordability.
