Pryor blasts nursing home oversight after incognito tour
Rep. David Pryor charged Tuesday that public funds fueled a vast expansion of the nursing home industry while protection for the public, tax dollars, and patients remains absent. He described mixed conditions, cited rising costs of care, and proposed a special congressional committee to investigate all phases of the industry amid fragmented federal and state controls. The Arkansas Democrat warned that aging citizens have become commodified as part of Wall Street driven chains.

Minn. Professor Raises Taxes On His House
A University of Minnesota professor unilaterally raised the 1970 property tax on his home. Tomath Woleon sent a voided homestead declaration to City Hall, which would have lowered his tax because he owns and lives in the house. He said city taxes are generally low and that raising the base would show confidence in city government with protections for aged and retired residents.

Pornography crackdown tightens grip on smut mail
Washington AP reports post office inspector Cotter says convictions of major porn dealers sent shockwaves through the trade. Bookstores closed after Supreme Court actions, with 234000 complaints last year about unsolicited porn mailings. About 20 operators linked to most mail, many under indictment. California crackdown aids this effort as LA police report 80 arrests. Cotter urges a computerized master list of objectors to receive sexual advertising.
