1993 tax changes harm married couples and the poor
The piece argues that the 1993 tax bill enlarges the marriage penalty by raising bracket taxes and cutting the EITC for married couples. It notes a two child, $20,000 income couple would owe $3,717 more under marriage and suggests a five year EITC phaseout for new spouses to curb incentives to wed. Scripps Howard News Service

Township 7 sewage dispute tied to Neuse River pollution record
Nate Salsbury of New Bern argues that the North Carolina Department of Environmental Management denied Township 7 a 5 BOD sewage facility while approving a 30 BOD expansion for New Bern, which appears on the Neuse River Foundation's seven worst polluter list. He notes recent annexation of the Weyerhaeuser property would route 300,000 more gallons to the 30 BOD plant, criticizing state agency bias and politics.
