Destin Elementary sixth graders ask who is running for president this year. A classroom discussion centers on current candidates and the electoral process.
A tiny Gulf coast village grew as neighbors formed a fire department to protect their community. They borrowed, begged, and donated to acquire gear and land a 25 year lease. As growth came, a taxing district funded firer protection and improved service with new trucks and a second station.
Fire commissioners and volunteers pressed for more property to expand the primary station and train crews, offering a share of tax revenues to cover truck loans and new staff. Trustees balked, demanding higher rent and suggesting a future reallocation, signaling tension between growth needs and old lease terms.
U S Rep Earl Hutto argues rising health care costs threaten economic recovery amid high inflation and growing health care share of GNP. He notes Medicare and Medicaid cover 40 percent of hospital bills, employer based insurance masks true costs, and proposed reforms include cost sharing and prospective hospital payments.
The National Association of Manufacturers notes resistence from labor and seniors as industry responds to higher health costs with hospital claim reviews benefit plan redesign and plans to form local cost-containment groups. Congress will study reforms to ease the burden.
