Obama Pushes Gun Reform Faces Tepid Republican Response
President Obama seeks bipartisan support to meet looming fiscal deadlines and push comprehensive immigration reform while a Senate vote and House inaction loom. He urges universal background checks, a 10 round magazine limit, and a renewed assault weapons ban amid NRA opposition and public support for stricter gun laws. The plan includes expanded research funding, tougher penalties for gun trafficking, police training funds, and a new ATF head, B Todd Jones, as part of executive actions.

New Mexico Faces Large Potential Cash Reconciliation Liabilities
New Mexico reports at least 70 million in unreconciled cash transactions, leaving reserves around 713 million or 13 percent of spending. Officials warn reserves could shrink as the state clears deposits and payments from SHARE system rollout problems under Gov. Richardson. House testimony compared the issue to a checkbook balance higher than the bank, as agencies track more than 100 accounts with mixed revenue streams. Lawmakers express urgency and concern over years of unresolved accounting troubles.
