Kids Fight State On Back Taxes In Ramona Venture
San Diego AP report notes a state tax probe into KIDCO Inc, a firm run by Richard Cessna's children in Ramona. The company, incorporated in the British West Indies, sells compost from stable byproducts, street cleaning, and gopher extermination with mixed income. The children, ages nine to fourteen, head a junior management team with Richard Jr as president and aim to challenge California tax collectors as they pursue alleged sales taxes on byproducts and services. The case hinges on whether byproducts are taxable and if services to users constitute sales. The siblings have recruited their own attorney and financed operations with small loans, while the father notes their fighting spirit.

Illinois challenges GM rebate offer amid engine dispute
Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott says GM’s settlement to appease owners of 1977 models with Chevy engines does not go far enough. Under the plan buyers may trade in for a new car with a mileage charge or keep the car for a 36,000 mile three month warranty. Scott notes dealers could profit $300 per replacement, potentially shortchanging consumers. Other states are filing suits as well in a coordinated action.

He suggested tighter limits on air based cruise missiles and a deferral of the SS20, with Russia curbing the Backfire bomber and restrictions on launchers for its missiles, aiming to find a basis for agreement without pledging full adherence to Vladivostok terms.
