Productivity lag pins hopes on saving, investment shifts
A Labor Department survey of the 11 richest industrial nations shows U S productivity rose only 2 percent last year, the slowest among peers aside from Sweden. Analysts blame weak saving and investment for the lag and warn U S living standards may not rise rapidly as others catch up. Norway led with 6.4 percent, Japan 5.8 percent gains, while fears persist that economic clout could slip.

Library issue on November ballot in Ottawa
Ottawa voters will decide a special question on the November general election ballot after opponents gathered signatures to exempt the Ottawa Library from an aggregate property tax levy limit. City commissioner Dan Fogle filed 17 petition pages with about 300 signers. 217 valid signatures were confirmed. The library seeks exemption from a 6 mill levy increase, while the next year’s budget is $4,400 higher, with trustees arguing for the exemption amid a property tax lid. Fogle argues labor costs at the library are too high.
