New Airport Safety Rules Lose Punch
Washington moves to dilute and delay new airport safety standards amid protests from operators. FAA officials warn costs could rise for smaller airports, with modifications under consideration. Proposals target crash fire and rescue equipment, crew readiness, and certification timelines. Bills seek delaying dates and potential federal cost sharing, leaving airports six months to adapt if amendments pass.

Dem Clobbers Commissioners on Registration
Erie County Democrat William O Hill Jr accuses Republicans Leo Weir and Fred Lamberton of blocking a youth and elderly voter registration drive. He says their stance favors old line politics and would tilt toward Democrats while they plan broad registration points in county facilities and municipal buildings. The commissioners defend open access and oppose targeted drives citing cost and legality.
