Budget Panel Hears Plan to Finance $12 Million Construction
The Budget Committee reviewed a plan to expand the Budget Revolving Fund to finance about 3 million to 25 million in construction over the next years. The plan would divert half the fund’s investment interest to construction once the fund reaches 50 million, with current fund around 30 million. Cochairs Rep. John Miller and Sen. Robert Harvey said the aim is to match prior Highway Department funding levels and reshape allocations across agencies including Barnhill Fieldhouse renovation, Medical Center equipment, prisons, Social and Rehabilitative Services, Education, and water and sewer grants.

Pope Paul VI Greets Crowds After Flu Battle
Pope Paul VI rose from his sickbed to greet about 5000 well wishers in St. Peter's Square. The 79 year old spoke hoarsely saying he was surprised by the flu and would be closer to the faithful with his wishes. The Vatican canceled his weekly audience on doctors orders and he went to bed with fever. The spokesman said Palm Sunday Mass at St. Peter's Basilica would open Holy Week observances. The piece ends with an odd line about a door to door salesman offering easy payments for remodeling.
