EPA waives Four Days of Burns Data in Kansas Air Rules
Kansas cities like Wichita Topeka and Kansas City gain relief as EPA excludes four April 2011 burn days from a three year air quality average. State KDHE and Flint Hills ranchers argued prescribed burns skew data used to set rules and costly controls. EPA cites the tallgrass prairie fire cycle as a regional factor.

Studies by the United Nations and OCED note Latin America, including Mexico, taxes the ultra rich far less than Europe or the United States. Andres Solimano, Chilean economist, co author of the UNECLAC study, comments on regional tax patterns.

Latin America's tax distortions favor the super rich study says
Andres Oppenheimer reviews a 2012 ECLAC study noting the super rich in Latin America pay far lower taxes relative to income than those in the United States or Europe. He cites heavy reliance on indirect taxes, tax evasion, and corporate levies, with calls for antimonopoly laws and smarter CEO compensation rules to curb inequality while acknowledging varied regional needs. He warns agencies in Argentina and Venezuela politicize tax collection and urges tailored reforms rather than a one size fits all approach.
