House clears 4.55 minimum wage compromise
The House rejected Bush’s 4.25 plan and approved a 4.55 wage bill with a 60 day training wage. After initial 218-198 vote, a 240-179 acceptance moved the measure forward toward Senate debate, conference talks, and a potential veto battle. AFL-CIO lauded the passage as Kennedy pursues a 4.65 bill in the Senate.

City union agree on sewer monitoring cost split
City and Union Township officials reached an understanding to monitor the Sampson Street sewer line with Union Township paying about 19 958 dollars while Neshannock Township balked at 40 000. City residents would not fund the townships monitoring due to lack of direct benefit. If April 1 passes without action, monitoring may wait until fall.
