Ceiling on Social Security earnings eyed by seniors
A measure to raise the earnings ceiling for seniors 65 to 72 faces opposition from the National Council of Senior Citizens.

About 25 million Americans receive Social Security, but only 1.4 million lose benefits due to earnings. Downtown parking is described as a problem some tolerate for less downtown congestion.
