Groundwater as a commodity fuels Panhandle dispute
In Tempe a letter argues against treating Texas Panhandle groundwater as a tradable asset. It warns Mesa Water Inc plans to acquire 200,000 acre feet and pipe it to cities, risking a 50 percent drop in the water table over 60 years. The piece urges prohibiting depletion and fair-use limits for farmers, warning of future desert-like lands. It also touches on nutrition debates and mail delivery quirks.

Senate rejects 527 loophole closure amid defense bill vote
The Senate votes on amendments to the fiscal 2001 defense authorization bill, rejecting a plan to close the Section 527 political fund loophole. Fourteen Republicans oppose leadership, while one Democrat Moynihan votes to keep it open. Debates tie 527 groups to secret political spending and potential influence on elections. Base closings votes follow, with 35 for and 63 against adding rounds in 2003 and 2005. Healthcare provisions fail as 5 to 48 block a House-passed patients rights bill attachment.
