Arizona proposes state lottery to aid strapped schools
Arizona State Sen. Sue Dye proposes creating a state run lottery to fund schools facing tax shifts. She notes a 10 percent residential valuation cut will force higher tax rates and cites New Jersey revenue to illustrate potential lottery benefits. Critics fear crime and illegal gambling, though Dye argues eastern style lotteries are incorruptible and popular with middle class players. A Rutgers founded firm estimates illegal gambling costs in Arizona at up to 1 billion dollars annually.

Thrift firms mail refunds to depositors in receivership
Nearly 20 months after a federal judge placed Lincoln and U S Thrift associations in receivership, depositors begin receiving refunds. Initial 4.6 million goes to about 26 000 investors, representing 1 cent on the dollar for larger claims, with full repayment for claims of 25 or less. Further 10 percent refunds will come as assets liquidate, and total recoveries may reach 32 to 39 cents on the dollar depending on asset value.

About 98 percent of four unions voted to accept the Cities Service Copper Co. pact, granting a 5 cent per hour raise over three years and improved benefits. The firm employs about 800 miners in Globe, Miami, and Superior. Layoffs of 490 of 570 union workers were announced as part of the settlement, with furloughs likely lasting unknown. Negotiations continue with other unions and companies amid a nationwide copper strike totaling roughly 7,300 Arizona workers.
