Appeal likely in Patriot Act ruling
Justice Department likely will appeal a federal judge ruling that part of the USA Patriot Act is unconstitutional. US District Judge Victor Marrero struck down a provision allowing FBI access to phone and Web records and barred disclosure of the searches. Ashcroft said the act is likely to be appealed and that it remains consistent with the Constitution. The ruling marks a second constitutional setback for post Sept. 11 powers and foregrounds Fourth and First Amendment concerns. The injunction was delayed 90 days for appeal and the judge cited a state of war as not justifying sweeping secrecy.

Ottawa airport manager cites lack of city support for contract end
Tony LeMaster, longtime Ottawa Municipal Airport manager and Franklin County Jail administrator, says city indifference drives his plan to let his contract lapse at year end. City officials counter that Ottawa has subsidized and supported the airport, waiving rent and covering utilities. LeMaster has run the facility with about $32,500 of his own funds annually.
