Bush plan targets corporate fraud with tougher penalties
The president proposes doubling the maximum prison term for mail and wire fraud to ten years, strengthens laws against document shredding, and creates a corporate fraud task force led by Deputy AG Larry Thompson. He seeks a $100 million SEC budget increase plus earlier $20 million, for 100 new enforcement officers. Senate Democrats complain the plan lacks Sarbanes reform, while investor confidence sinks and the economy weakens.

Kansas moves to release terminal prisoners to save state costs
Kansas considers releasing up to 100 elderly or incapacitated inmates to hospice groups and nursing homes to reduce corrections costs. Parole Board could shift care to hospitals and Medicaid while the federal government covers much of the final expenses, a plan critics call unsettling yet cost driven. Martin Hawver notes the proposal reflects budget scrounging and raises ethical questions about treating prisoners as budgetary assets.
