U S effort fails to halt two unions bias in construction trucking
The U S Commission on Civil Rights reports ten years of federal effort cannot end racial discrimination in construction and trucking unions.

Senate panel weighs minimum tax on rich
The Senate Finance Committee considers raising the minimum tax by removing the $30,000 exemption and boosting the rate to 4 percent, potentially forcing up to 154,000 more high earners to pay. The plan could add 700 to 800 million dollars yearly, while IRS data show dozens of wealthy individuals paid no tax in 1974.
