Schwarzenegger refines stance as recall race tightens
A Los Angeles Times poll shows Arnold Schwarzenegger trailing Cruz Bustamante 35 to 22 percent with six weeks until the October recall. Analysts say his TV appearances on Hedgecock and Hugh Hewitt aim to unite conservatives and prevent Tom McClintock from overtaking Bil Simon, while Stutzman frames the push as ongoing fiscal conservatism across venues.

Mont Belvieu considers tax rate impacts and water reserve deal
Easum outlined that the proposed tax rate would exceed the effective rate but raise less tax overall due to a half cent property tax relief from a May referendum. The city would collect 5.16 million, down from 5.37 million last year, with average homestead taxes rising about 20 dollars. The council also approved a water reserve increase from 75 million to 100 million gallons under a pact with the Chambers Liberty Counties Navigation District.
