Senate poised to approve landmark tax overhaul measure
The Senate moves toward final passage of the tax overhaul as Sen. Bob Packwood predicts rapid approval possibly by Tuesday. Major amendments are finished, but Sen. George Mitchell seeks to shift burdens upward for the wealthy to aid middle and lower incomes, with likely minimal success. Negotiators will draft a compromise after a vote likely 100 to 9. House action follows on a SALT II compliance resolution urged by Democratic leaders.

Grant Texas pairing extension plan through downtown streets
The proposal covers streets between Second and 19th to extend the Grant Texas pairing southward to South Grant Clements and Muskingum avenues with a $6 million project.
