AFSCME blasts Senate for backing Ryan privatization
Illinois AFSCME executive director Henry Bayer denounces the Senate for upholding Gov. George H. Ryan's budget cuts that closed six state facilities and cost 1,800 jobs. He blames Madigan and Senate action, urges shared sacrifice, and notes $56 million could have halted closures while rejecting a wage freeze. The piece ties in reactions from union leaders and advocates amid a broader push by a coalition for a fair budget.

Government to Question Terror Suspect Not Punish Him
Jose Padilla, 31, a suspected al Qaida operative linked to plans for a radiological attack, traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan to meet senior leaders after 9 11 and studied building a dirty bomb online from Lahore. Officials say the aim is to question him exhaustively rather than punish him as part of a broader terrorism case.
