Great Lakes communities urge a dry spring as lake levels stay near record highs. Officials warn a single spring storm could trigger widespread flooding, erosion, and property damage across eight states and Ontario. Federal aid is limited while local efforts push sandbagging and dike building along Erie and Michigan shores amid rising tides and forecasted runoff.

Medicare Payment Hike Faces Senate Opposition
A Senate health subcommittee heard proposed increases in Medicare hospitalization costs meeting strong Democratic resistance. Caspar W. Weinberger testified as HEW secretary amid warnings the changes won't pass Congress. Current rules charge 72 dollars for day one with escalating deductibles over 150 days. The plan would add a 10 percent daily charge after day one and raise physician service deductibles. Also included were higher physician service deductibles.
