GAO finds poor management in endangered species effort
The GAO drafts a report accusing the Interior Department of delaying endangered listings to avoid project delays. It cites cave harvestmen as an example, saying listing could halt the $375 million New Melones Lake project in California. Interior defends decisions, citing non threatened cave populations and critiques the GAO. The dispute echoes Tellico Dam battles over the snail darter and the Endangered Species Act.

Tax proposal endangers Schaefer mortgage pool in Baltimore
WASHINGTON AP A Carter era tax proposal would curb states and cities from issuing tax exempt bonds to fund low interest home loans. Baltimore Mayor Schaefer warned the change could derail a $100 million mortgage pool and threaten Inner Harbor housing plans. Treasury official Lubick argued tax exemptions deprive the government of revenue and favor well to do borrowers.
