Consultants blamed for HUD fraud
A HUD Inspector General report to the Senate says twenty consultants, many ex-HUD staff or GOP insiders, helped steer more than 5.7 million to developers in select states, aiding about one fifth of HUD subsidized housing funds. The probe names figures such as Joseph Strauss and Carla Hills, notes state disparities, and warns excessive rent subsidies may cost over 413 million by 1999.

Vending machines tax plan discussed by Kansas committee
Kansas vending operators proposed taxing 125 percent of net invoice cost instead of sales tax, arguing it reduces competitive disadvantage from price increases in nickels. The plan compares wholesale cost to sales, facing skepticism from beverage and grocery groups and the tax chief. The committee took no action.
