Residents seek options for drainage plans in neighborhood dispute
Neighbors in the 200 block of Michigan press city officials for a drainage solution that avoids cutting into backyards. The plan would bury reinforced concrete pipe under yards and add a drainage ditch, with a $1.2 million budget and two homes already slated for purchase. City manager Wildgen warns funds are limited, balancing flood protection with other projects, while residents urge preservation of their backyards and note ongoing flood damages dating back decades.

Clinton sets agenda after budget deal signals surplus
President Clinton outlined a bipartisan balanced budget plan after signing the tax and budget pact. He warned possible vetoes on narrowly targeted tax breaks while projecting a surplus beyond 2002 and exploring fast-track talks to expand NAFTA and broaden campaign finance reform. He cited deficits dropping from 127 billion to about 40 billion in nine months. He also aims to extend trade deals in Latin America and Asia and push voluntary campaign spending limits with McCain Feingold.
