Justice Dept. Denies Inmate Death Benefits in Lightning Case
In Salt Lake City the Justice Department denied death benefits to the 11 year old daughter of inmate Michael Todd Bishop who was killed during a wildfire firefighting assignment. The agency ruled his status did not make him a public safety officer despite training. Bishop and Rodgie Braithwaite died Aug 23 in the Stansbury Mountains during a Storm era shelter effort.

Energy Department finds $44M overrun at Bechtel Jacobs
The Energy Department probes a $44 million overrun tied to Bechtel Jacobs cleanup work at Paducah Oak Ridge and Piketon. The 1997 contract relied on subcontracting to cut staff and costs, but lacked fixed price competitive bids and clear staffing reductions. Inspector General Friedman says Bechtel Jacobs largely met its proposal terms while the agency failed to set binding cost goals.
