OUR OPINION Rumors fly fast, thick tories on the street concerning former Third Circuit State Attorney Jeff Siegmeister are Sgrowing wilder by the day. That’s mainly because the feds, notoriously tight-lipped on pending cases, won’t say a word about what they are investigating or what it all means. Rumors naturally sprout to fill in for the facts. Siegmeister, who said he resigned due to heart- break over an impending divorce, was being interviewed by federal agents at his Live Oak home as far back as May, says his wife, so make what you will of that one. Beyond this, we know little. Meanwhile, the rumors — including conjecture on just what the grand jury’s looking at over in Jacksonville — grow odder and more convoluted with each telling. It’s impossible to say what may or may not be true at this point. Warm places of worship We are working to get more facts and will share them soon as we do. Don’t take anything as gospel till then.

February 1–7, 2020 www.lakecityreporter.com Section C Trump celebrates rewrite of trade rules By KEVIN FREKING and PAUL WISEMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed into law a major rewrite of the rules of trade with Canada and Mexico, celebrating the fulfillment of one of his top campaign prom- ises while declining to share the moment with Democratic lawmak- ers whose support was essential to getting it over the finish line. Trump said renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement was “probably the No. 1 reason that I decided to lead this crazy life that I’m leading right now.” “Today, we’re finally ending the NAFTA nightmare,” Trump said in a ceremony on the South Lawn. The event featured hundreds of business and farm leaders from around the country and scores of Republican officials. No Democratic members of Congress were on the White House guest list. Trade experts say the impact of the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement will be modest. Canada and Mexico already rep- resent the top two export mar- kets for U.S. goods.
