Bluefield CD hearing probes federal funds discrimination
Local attorney Fred O. Blue, speaking at a public hearing, argued federal community development funds may be used beyond its guidelines, criticizing a sidewalk project on Rogers Street as not in poverty areas. City officials stressed regulations, while residents raised concerns over past spending and a $18 million Bluefield Towers plan. A Jan 16 hearing was set for the program's northside phase.

Cleveland Mayor Pushes 50 Percent Payroll Tax Increase
Cleveland Mayor Dennis J. Kucinich urged residents to raise the 1 percent payroll tax by 50 percent to avert a potential default amid a debt crisis. Federal marshals guarded about $3 million in city property, and the plan envisions pledging $15 million in anticipated income taxes as security to avoid service cuts and layoffs. The mayor warned of drastic reductions in police, fire, waste, snow removal, and health services if approved, while City Council planned a formal meeting to hear the proposal.

Experts Say Coffee Prices Will Go Lower
Chicago experts forecast further declines in coffee prices as supply grows and demand weakens. USDA economists project a 3.8 to 14 percent drop, pulling national retail prices to about 2.50 to 2.80 a pound, depending on next year's crop. A Brazilian frost earlier raised uncertainty about potential crop damage, though most expect only minor impact.
