Citadel case lawyers seek 5.8 million in fees
Lawyers for South Carolina and The Citadel ask a federal judge to deny about 5.8 million dollars in fees and costs for a four year fight to admit women to The Citadel. They say hours billed were grossly excessive and rates higher than typical in the state. Citadel lawyers claim the Faulkner and Mellette suits were auxiliary to a Virginia Military Institute action and yielded no victory.

Governors seek flexible control of Medicaid funding
Washington AP Governors urged more flexibility in administering Medicaid for the poor and opposed a per capita cap on federal funds. Nevada’s Bob Miller, chair of the National Governors Association, said states must decide eligibility and benefit levels with any funding cap. Clinton plans a per capita limit in his upcoming budget but asked governors to wait for details. Miller expects some administrative flexibility but remains firm that a cap is undesirable.
