Rice exhibit at Tokyo fair draws U S display removal
US officials pulled six types of American rice from a Tokyo food fair after Japanese authorities deemed the display violations of the Food Control Law. The dispute comes as Japan and the United States tussle over trade balance and domestic protection for small businesses. Nobuo Ogawa, sponsor, said organizers were annoyed by the exhibit, while a US Embassy spokesman noted no sampling occurred and the display showed varieties only.

House gives preliminary approval to 10 percent property cap

Amendments to drop to 4 or 6 percent failed, with supporters arguing deeper cuts would cut state and local revenues. An attempt to apply the cap starting this July also failed, as critics warned voters would see otherwise on notices this summer.
