Phone Monitoring To Continue Despite Public Objections
New England Telephone plans to keep monitoring private calls as part of service observation. Whatley said lines are listened to at random, with no guarantee of exemption for subscribers, and even governor’s lines could be monitored. The practice, criticized by a state committee, involved listening to up to 10 minutes per call before June 1 and 16,504 long distance calls in May.

Teachers Protest IRS ruling on education deductions
The National Education Association filed a protest with the Internal Revenue Service over a proposed rule that would classify as nondeductible expenses the costs of pursuing higher academic degrees required by state law for teaching positions. The NEA, representing over a million teachers, argues the rule would discourage teachers from improving their knowledge and skills while deductions remain for refresher courses tied to state regulations or certificate retention.
