Congress House Moves On Deep Cuts
Congress pursues about 100 billion dollars in domestic budget cuts over five years to offset tax cuts and reduce the deficit. The House Budget Committee plans a 90 billion across the next five years while votes proceed on canceling 17 billion in enacted spending. Democrats condemn cuts to aid the poor, anti drug efforts, and job training, arguing the moves harm those trying to escape poverty. Republican leaders defend a smaller government and say the cuts will be refined in coming months as deliberations continue in the Senate and with the White House. Budget Chairman John Kasich says discretionary programs will be trimmed, with decisions still to come.

Parker seeks to suppress phone tape in federal drug case
Craven County Commissioner Gerald Parker seeks to exclude a taped telephone conversation with a drug informant from evidence in his federal drug trial. The defense motion delays the March 27 start in Elizabeth City with a suppression hearing tentatively set for March 30 in Raleigh. If denied, Parker may appeal within two weeks and a new trial date will be set. Parker faces two counts of maintaining a dwelling for marijuana distribution after earlier indictments for conspiracy to distribute marijuana and cocaine.
