CAFTA passes Senate, vote in House expected Christian Roselund 2005-07-02 7:59 AM
The Dominican Republic-Central American Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA) was approved by the US Senate on Thursday in a 54-45 vote, the narrowest margin that any major trade agreement has passed through the Senate in over a decade. The vote will now move to the house of representatives, where stronger opposition is expected. Global Exchange has put out a nationwide call for citizens to call their member of congress to stop DR-CAFTA in the house. (text/plain + 1 comment)

Chief 'Tootie' Montana Dies of a Heart Attack at City Council Meeting Kate 2005-06-28 5:24 AM

City Council gives Chief of Police $350,000, Chief of Chiefs a heart attack. 06/27/05 Yesterday evening, the New Orleans City Council held a special session to review complaints of police misconduct during the Mardi Gras Indians celebration this past spring. Just moments after speaking of his fifty-two years of involvement with the Indians, Allison ‘Tootie’ Montana, chief of chiefs, fell to a heart attack, surrounded by the other Indian Chiefs and other supporters. Cries of his wife and other loved ones soon filled air, along with hushed sobs and worried whispers. As the minutes dragged on, and CPR was performed, the crowd began to understand the gravity of the situation. When the paramedics arrived, about 12 minutes later, many Mardi Gras Indians in the room rose their voices in a slow and steady rendition of Indian Red. Tootie was then taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Following is an account of the entire meeting. (image/jpeg + 3 comments)

Capitalists Endanger North Louisiana Aquifer Walter McClatchey 2005-05-29 1:29 PM
The Sparta Sands Aquifer, which provides drinking water for 19 parishes in north Louisiana, is drying up. Sparta could soon be saltwater unless pressure on the aquifer is eased. But House Bill 388, pushed by the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, downgrades Sparta's status from "critical" to "an area of groundwater concern" so as not to scare off business and "economic development." The bill has passed the House and appears headed for quick passage by the Senate. The Monroe News-Star has recently published a good article and an op-ed on the problem.
