Mayor Dunn declared that Ted Pasternak of Center Development Corp has no bonds from Deer Park. He cited a contract claiming $90,000 in revenue bonds would be issued to the company, with proceeds to fund water sewer extensions and street work, but the bonds were never printed or delivered.

Democrats Open Drive On Tax Slash
Democrats signaled a tax cut push facing White House opposition and Republican protests. The plan would fast track through Ways and Means with no public hearings, applying a $2 saving per taxpayer and $2 more per dependent on next year’s taxes. Senate opposition from Byrd remains. Leaders aim to move the bill to the White House within 38 days, seeking veto proofing by adding the tax cut as an amendment to an administration bill delaying a $33 billion corporate and excise cut scheduled for April 1.
