MPs Conflicted on Year-End Tax and Spending Deal
Republicans and Democrats privately discussed a year end framework including extending middle class tax cuts with higher rates for top earners and delaying spending cuts. They also eyed unemployment benefits, Medicare payment relief for doctors, and a dairy price safeguard to avert a short term spike, aiming to postpone 2013 budget fights. Senate leaders urged talks though no bill was pending, while Reid and Boehner traded heated accusations over leadership and the path to any agreement.

Survey findings reveal officer stance on retirement and job changes
Schultz did not answer questions about the survey results. The union sent the survey to about 900 members via a private firm. Over 450 officers responded between Sept 25 and Oct 25, a strong turnout for APOA votes. Results show 193 officers near 44 percent consider early retirement and about a third seek jobs in another department. Two thirds doubt the fairness of the promotion process. November DOJ actions follow protests and lawsuits challenging Albuquerque policing amid multiple officer-involved shootings since 2010 and high-profile excessive-force cases.
