Rural recreation loans mainly serve city residents says GAO
Congressional auditors found many government loans intended for rural outdoor recreation primarily benefit urban dwellers. Examples include 275000 and 245000 loans for golf courses and related facilities in rural counties serving 1 and 4 percent of residents, with many facilities restricting access or charging high fees. The GAO and Agriculture Department inspector general urge congressional review of continuing such programs while noting steps FHA has taken to address issues.

Barred Doctor Hales Employed at State Hospital
The Benton unit administrator confirmed the hospital had hired Robert Hales, a physician stripped of an Indiana license, then terminated him due to publicity. Hales, 97, had prior criminal sexual pathology findings and license revocation in 1987 after complaints by five female patients. Mizell said Hales was a temporary psychiatric resident whose termination ends any chance of a permanent residency.
