Judge blocks federal strip mining coal leases policy
A US District Court judge barred the Interior Department from enacting a new coal leasing policy that would allow private industry to decide land availability for strip mining on western federal lands. The decision cites lack of evidence for need and insufficient public analysis, drawing praise from environmental groups concerned about land, water, crops, and wildlife impacts.

Fly-Safe files for bankruptcy amid Tucson plan on elderly tax relief
Fly-Safe of Arizona based at Tucson International Airport files for bankruptcy listing debts of 1219519.91 and assets of 11986.46. Co owner Stephen R. Lutz also files for bankruptcy with debts of 132606.57. Mayor Murphy proposes a revised tax relief plan for homeowners 65 plus earning under 10000 a year to exempt mortgage tax payments, funded by state loans and repaid from estate or home sale. He argues Amlee's plan risks city and school district funding and labels it abject nonsense and lunacy.
