The panel backs resuming bombing at reduced levels and closing the range within five years, but finds no immediate alternative sites that meet Navy needs. Gov. Rosselló condemns the practice as inhumane while Sen. Warner questions national security and first lady remarks.

Computer pays dead employees in Philadelphia payroll debacle
An American Management Systems executive acknowledged a problem with the Advantage payroll system used by Philadelphia schools after a Daily News report.

The district cites data-entry errors and notes multiple corrections. AMS faces other state inquiries over faulty software and unrefunded tax payments in Mississippi and Kansas.
