Welfare reform faces veto clash and clashes over aid
President Clinton backs a Senate welfare reform bill but warns on its impact on children. The measure would replace open ended aid with work oriented, time limited support run largely by states, capping lifetime aid at five years and requiring work after two years. The plan shifts four major programs to block grants, aims to save about 60 billion over six years, and narrows benefits for non citizens. Senators split along party lines with notable votes by Dole and several Republicans while some Democrats condemn the bill as harmful to poor children. The House and Senate attendance included key votes on Medicaid, food stamps, and family caps amid staunch partisan debate.

Liberty Town tower reversal prompts debate over impact
At a Liberty town planning meeting residents expressed concern that a proposed Horizon communications tower would devalue properties and set a precedent for future towers. Horizon representatives argued the tower would improve coverage and would be colocated on existing structures where possible. The board unanimously reversed its prior approval and delayed a separate private college and high school project to August for further studies.
