They label it an MIA budget as a Capitol Hill budget debate opens with officials defending the plan. Republicans and Democrats criticize proposed cuts, while health care and Medicare/Medicaid funding remain focal points.

Urbana High School plan changes surprise county officials
Frederick County Commissioners voiced surprise and concern after school officials temporarily removed a 1,200 seat auditorium from Urbana High School to cut costs. They worry delaying or omitting the auditorium could raise future costs, while architects argue wings offer expandable space. The plan aims to reduce bids from 23 million to 191 million with eventual capacity growth to 1,500 students.

Clinton health plan premiums may count as federal spending
White House says President Clinton will push private health insurance for all Americans despite the CBO stance. If premiums are on budget, costs rise on paper and critics label higher taxes. Reischauer expected to advise on budgeting premiums as on budget while still supporting plan viability. Premiums could exceed $1 trillion from 1998 to 2000, complicating fiscal 1995 budget efforts.
