Swine flu vaccine backed by Congress to start next month
Congress approved a liability shield and funding plan for swine flu vaccines, enabling elderly and chronically ill first shots next month with broader rollout by mid October. The measure limits profits for manufacturers and covers defense against lawsuits, while potential legal actions must begin within two years. In a separate Los Angeles ruling, the Harris trial ends with convictions upheld amid post verdict disputes.

Apple Industry Protests Sewage Rules Burden
Shenandoah Apple Co operative general manager Joseph Kalbach pressed city council over sewage discharge controls claiming the industry bears an unfair share of the burden. He cited discharge limits and city plans that ignore plant improvements while annexation and new industry press on the system. Other executives noted industry willing to fund upgrades if city would share costs, with estimates ranging up to nearly a million dollars for pretreatment. City officials countered that regional systems and higher standards require city action and funding.
