Tilting the tax cut bill faces possible veto clash
Capitol Hill leaders from both parties ignore presidential veto threats on the tax cut bill. The Senate is likely to tilt the measure toward middle class and business interests, not lower-income families as Carter proposed. Given the House margin, Congress could override a veto if needed. A pro forma session could be kept to override Carter after adjournment.

Countryside Council Aids Rural Minnesota Voices Across 19 Counties
In Washington and harvesting seasons, Maggie Arzdorf notes travel is hampered by blizzards yet the Countryside Council has helped rural residents. Farmers like Hanska’s Porter Olstad praise the council’s impact, citing improvements in telephone service and citizen involvement. A task force on rail abandonment spurred state and federal actions, while other committees studied arts, youth farm financing, energy, health, and development. Financed by the W. K. Kelley Foundation with two grants totaling 1.33 million, the council faces new funding needs to sustain its rural model and civic empowerment.
