However, the policymakers emphasized that they would need to do more to restrain the economy and that inflation might remain higher for longer than they had expected. “We have more work to do,” said Jerome Powell, the Fed chair.

The native-plant yard at the home of Janet and Jeff Crouch in Columbia, Md.Jason Andrew for The New York Times 7. A fight over a lawn in Maryland reshaped the law. Janet and Jeff Crouch, who live in a quiet cul-de-sac in Columbia, Md., were sued by their homeowners association for allowing native plans to grow in their yard instead of a grass lawn. Their neighbors argued that their yard violated bylaws, hurt nearby property values and attracted pests. The couple were given 10 days to convert their front yard into a lawn that looked like everyone else’s.
