Pollution standards threaten energy goals in clash over smog
EPA scientists urge tougher ozone limits to protect asthmatics and outdoor workers while Bush pushes ethanol fueled energy policy.

Senate clears path for wage hike with tax breaks
The Senate voted 87 to 10 to end debate on a minimum wage bill raising the rate from 5.15 to 7.25 per hour over two years, but only with business tax breaks House Democrats seek to remove. Final passage expected later this week as negotiations with the White House and House Democrats begin. President Bush supports tax breaks to offset job losses, saying wage hikes may cost some jobs.
