Credit card reforms prompt mixed consumer impact
The Cincinnati Enquirer and Advocate pieces weigh in on credit card reform and congressional earmarks. Reforms curb abusive card practices, limit instant approval for students, and may tighten access for riskier borrowers, while risking fewer perks and revenue for issuers. On earmarks, disclosure rules improve visibility but Web sites offer uneven detail, with a bid to standardize naming and searchability gaining support.

Kansas coal plant decisions draw scrutiny and concern
Kenneth L. Riffel argues that Gov. Parkinson and Sunflower Electric pushed a Holcomb coal plant despite opposition. The project would emit 6.7 million tons of carbon dioxide yearly and methyl mercury, reduce total megawatt output to 895, and drain billions of gallons from the Ogallala Aquifer. He notes job gains may be short term and often awarded to out of state firms, with potential federal carbon taxes looming.
