Credit card balances fell in Q1 2025, but borrowers aren’t out of the woods yet

1 day ago | kval.com | Ted Rossman

You’ve likely heard that the only certainties in life are death and taxes. Or that April showers bring May flowers. Here’s another truism to add to that list: Credit card balances don’t rise in the first quarter of the year. That was once again true in 2025, as balances fell to $1.18 trillion in Q1, down $29 billion (2.4 percent) from Q4 2024, according to the New York Fed. Over the past 22 years, credit card balances fell from Q4 to Q1 on 21 occasions, and they were flat once (in 2023).

SALEM, Ore. (KATU) — A bill that would make it illegal for Oregon landlords to ask about or discriminate based on a tenant's immigration status is one step closer to becoming law. The legislation would prohibit landlords from rejecting rental applicants due to their immigration or citizenship status. Supporters say this bill safeguards vulnerable renters who may face discrimination or threats of deportation for reporting problems with their living situation.

Real ID Deadline not a deadline, just enforcement

1 week ago | kval.com | Joe English

BEAVERTON, Ore. (KATU) — "I don’t actually like to call it a deadline. It’s an enforcement date. So if you’re not going to be on a plane anytime soon, you don’t need a REAL ID," said Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles spokesperson Chris Crabb. Crabb says you'll be able to get a REAL ID after the May7 deadline, or enforcement date, and, in fact, you don't have to get one at all if you don't plan on flying, visiting a federal building or a military installation.
