Indicators Point to Recession
The AP reports widespread recession fears amid rising oil prices. Blumenthal and Schultze urge no recession this year but warn of inflation and payments stress, calling for a 5 percent oil consumption cut. Domestic indicators show slowing retail sales, shipments, spending, and housing starts, fueling recession doubts if oil issues ease.

Rate Hike Limit Plan Advance Delayed in Virginia
The State Corporation Commission pursues a plan to cap rate hikes to the CPI as commissions push ahead with annual reviews this summer. Officials say the May deadline slipped by two or three weeks but commitment remains. The plan would require utilities to file operating data and allow increases only as CPI permits. In other news, Shockey Bros. honored six Quality Control staff with Concrete Technician Certificates from the Portland Cement School.
