Carter tax may backfire on petrochemical jobs
The Carter energy plan seeks a $3 well tax and a 90 cent to $3 per barrel user tax, risking severe feedstock cost increases that could push the $40 billion U.S. petrochemical industry offshore and erase about 390,000 related jobs. Industry reps warn foreign competition would rise, exports fall, and consumer prices rise. Administration aides say the policy will affect the industry regardless but aim to conserve energy. No import quotas are planned.

Regents voting rights saga stalls election in June
A legislative subcommittee urged the state Board of Regents Faculty Advisory Council to elect its voting representative by Thursday but chair D L Peters said the vote cannot be completed in time. The law grants voting rights to faculty and student representatives, with the student body electing Buddy Watson as its voting rep. Peters cited a June 12 effective date and a split council vote that postponed choosing a faculty representative until October.
