Odd alliance targets corporate welfare cuts in federal budget
Liberal Friends of the Earth and conservative National Taxpayers Union join Rep. Kasich in a probe to cut corporate welfare. They propose eliminating 12 programs saving about 11.5 billion over five years, noting most benefits go to business at public cost. Estimates place corporate welfare at 75 to 85 billion annually amid definitional disputes. The Dispatch urges a determined push to cut Aid to Dependent Corporations.

Coffees at White House Prompt Fundraising Questions
Former DNC chair Don Fowler told the Boston Globe aides followed up White House coffees with President Clinton by soliciting 1996 campaign contributions. Lanny Davis said the claims are not surprising or improper. Mike McCurry argued the president did not directly solicit funds at those events.

Parties Become Bankers In White House Fundraising
The article examines how coffees hosted by the Democratic Party to promote the president's program also functioned as fundraising events. Attendees could be targeted for contributions with follow up calls, and overnights in the Lincoln Bedroom and other rentals benefited high-roller donors. The DNC is portrayed as an integral part of the Clinton operation, aided by lax campaign finance laws that allowed soft money to fund presidential campaigns. The piece notes a Senate probe chaired by Sen. Fred Thompson will scrutinize these practices as the White House backs away from their initial denials.
