Counties Colleges Clash Over Reduced Jaco Charges
County officials support a bill to cut charges to counties for residents attending nearby community colleges while colleges oppose it. The measure would delay four weeks the counting of credit hours by outside residents, a figure used to bill other counties 22 dollars per hour. The fees help fund colleges through property taxes in hosting counties.

Goldwater proposes closing 22 obsolete military installations
Senator Barry Goldwater says the Defense Department could save about 500 million annually by shutting 22 listed installations after an initial 2.5 billion relocation cost. The list includes Fort Devens, Fitzsimons Army Medical Center, Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, and McConnell Air Force Base among others. He notes the plan is politically delicate and the Pentagon has not formally submitted the list.
