Kasich: Family worth $9M-$22M

COLUMBUS

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, one of more than a dozen Republicans seeking the party’s presidential nomination, reports that he and his family are worth between $9 million and $22 million.

A personal financial disclosure report filed Friday offered the first detailed account of Kasich’s personal wealth. It included assets owned by Kasich, his wife, Karen Waldbillig Kasich, and trusts set up for his wife and their twin daughters, Emma and Reese.

The Federal Election Commission requires federal officeholders and candidates to indicate the value of assets, such as stocks or savings accounts, in broad dollar-figure categories.

Kasich, 63, entered the race July 21.

NHTSB probes Harman car radios

NEW YORK

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into Harman car radios after a recent recall of 1.4 million Fiat Chrysler cars and trucks due to a hacking vulnerability.

Hackers got into a Jeep Cherokee SUV through an electronic opening in the radio and were able to take control of the car over the Internet. The vulnerability, exposed by two security experts and well-known hackers, first was disclosed in Wired magazine.

In response, Fiat Chrysler said it sealed off a loophole in its internal cellular telephone network with vehicles to prevent similar attacks and issued a voluntary recall.

The NHTSA is investigating which other cars have the affected radios and whether they are vulnerable.

More Legionnaires’ cases expected in NY

NEW YORK

A New York City health official says there likely will be more cases of Legionnaires’ disease over the coming days amid an outbreak that has sickened dozens.

Dr. Jay Varma told The Associated Press on Saturday he believes people may have been infected before the city cleaned cooling towers where the disease-causing bacteria had been found.

City officials say four people have died and 65 cases have been reported in the Bronx since July 10.

Legionnaires’ disease is caused when water tainted with a certain bacterium is inhaled into the lungs. There have been 2,400 cases nationwide this year.

Suspected Flight 370 wing arrives for tests

BALMA, France

A wing flap suspected to be from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 arrived Saturday at a French military testing facility where it will be analyzed by experts.

After a 10-hour journey by road from Paris’ Orly airport, a truck carrying the roughly 8-foot component known as a flaperon arrived at the DGA TA aeronautical testing site near Toulouse, accompanied by police motorcycles and a police car.

French aviation experts will try to establish whether the wreckage that was found on the Indian Ocean island Reunion comes from the Boeing 777 that disappeared March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
