Oil industry blamed for gas and oil shortage maneuver
Washington sources allege the Administration and oil firms conspired to create a false shortage by pressuring the FEA survey to underreport recoverable oil. The system allegedly routes forms through the American Petroleum Institute, masking true reserves while driving higher prices. State Department memo talks reveal meddling by congressmen in diplomatic allocations.

End of session stamps two year term with pension boost
The two year session ended with a $44 million increase for teacher pensions and a new cost of living raise up to 33 percent for school employees. It added $671 million in debt authorizations for highways and buildings, and funded industry loans and mental health programs. Election reform and ethics bills stalled in committees. A new minimum wage bill passed, and a farm land tax break plan, known as clean and green, moved toward final action with tax assessments based on use. The session closed amid mixed reactions and plans to reassess next year.
