Two bids for Ottawa school property favor Pioneer Group over ASJ Lease
The Ottawa Herald notes two bids for the former 5th and Main buildings. ASJ Lease offers 500,000 but demolition, zoning, and legal costs would drain funds, net 220,000 toward the bond. Pioneer Group offers 250,000 plus 280,000 saved by not demolishing, totaling 530,000 to reduce the bond, saving taxpayers substantially.

Glickman urged to end packer discrimination in livestock markets
John Crabtree of the Center for Rural Affairs argues that USDA under Secretary Glickman must aggressively regulate Packers and Stockyards Act to curb price discrimination against family farmers. He notes January 1999 hog prices as 8 cents per pound while big packers posted profits and urges clear rules against volume based premiums and undue price preferences.
