Survivors of deadly Arizona desert crossing offered jobs if they testify
Survivors from a May desert crossing near Yuma, where 14 immigrants died in 115 degree heat while crossing 70 miles, may receive temporary jobs and housing in the United States if they stay and testify against an alleged smuggler, Jesus Lopez-Ramos among the rescued. Prosecutors say Lopez-Ramos and another guide took 90 dollars per immigrant, promising water but never returning. In Brier, a morning drive‑by at city hall and police station resulted in gunfire thought to be retaliation for a drug raid, with police noting the incident as a cowardly attack that could have killed others. Investigators say the raid disrupted a local gang attempting to operate there.

Tax cuts disappoint conservative mood after Bush plan
The Washington Post reports conservatives fault the Bush tax cut bill as it passes Congress and is signed at the White House. Critics say key, deeper cuts are postponed to 2010, the refunds feel like a political stunt, and the plan adds tax code complexity while offering little near term relief.

Republicans Press $300 Hunger Aid In New Budget Push
Washington Republicans on Wednesday backed adding 300 million for hungry children as the first step in a broad budget opening. Rep Bill Young of Florida said the plan signals a bus budget approach while Democrats argued the Bush tax cuts limit social needs. Wisconsin Democrat Rep Obey noted the agricultural appropriations bill is the first of 13 measures to fund government, cautioning against early defeats.
