Moon denied tax break in New York case
A New York appellate court ruled the Unification Church led by Rev Sun Myung Moon is not entitled to property tax exemptions. The 4-1 decision found the group is interwoven with political motives and seeks to cloak politics and economics with religious dogma. The church pays over 200000 in taxes annually on three properties valued at more than 2.6 million. The court said no First Amendment issue existed as it did not limit religious practice or dissemination of doctrine.

New Jersey Wins Windfall From Old 1836 Surplus Trust
Newark officials say New Jersey's share of a 1836 federal surplus, held in a trust fund since 1836, totals $764 670.60 and will be transferred to the general fund to help balance the budget. The fund, unused since 1836, accrued interest totaling over 100 000 in recent years, and the closure will end the states’ obligation to return principal.

Antitrust chief objects to Chrysler bailout plan
Assistant Attorney General William F. Baxter, head of the Antitrust Division, says government loan guarantees for Chrysler hurt investors rather than save auto workers. He argues bankruptcy would not ruin workers and questions authorizing up to 1.5 billion in guarantees, noting some plants would be unattractive to buyers. Baxter says Chrysler could have failed without harming workers in the long run.
