Don't look for gas prices to dip, oil exec says
Tuesday, March 11, 2003
By Rick Haglund
Detroit Bureau
DETROIT -- Gasoline prices will likely remain high during the summer driving
season, even if the crisis in Iraq is resolved quickly, a top oil industry
executive said.
ConocoPhillips Co. Chairman Archie Dunham said Monday gasoline is likely to
be in tight supply over the next few months because refiners are producing
more fuel oil and less gasoline than they typically do in March.
"You could see crude oil prices drop from $40 (a barrel) to $20 after the
war and you could not see, necessarily, a drop in gasoline prices," Dunham
said following a speech to the Detroit Economic Club.

nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods."—Austin,
Texas, Dec. 20, 2000
Today's cartoon was inspired by the ever rising cost
of gasoline and the fact that the self proclaimed "oilman" who is doing his
darnedest to find oil with a pre-emptive strike on Iraq. 'Cause he sure
couldn't find it when he was in the business.

Senators Bristle Over Plan
To Raid Trust Funds
By MIKE SALINERO msalinero@tampatrib.com
Published: Mar 11, 2003
TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Jeb Bush's desire to eliminate many
of the state's 450 trust funds is running into trouble in the Senate.
Several senators on the Natural Resources Committee said Monday that they
oppose shutting down environmental trust funds, which are dedicated funding
sources for specific purposes.
Lisa Polak Edgar, deputy secretary of the Department of Environmental
Protection, told the committee the governor wants to abolish seven of the 28
trust funds that provide 95 percent of the agency's funding.
Bush wants the trust fund money moved into the general revenue fund where,
critics say, it could be diverted to other purposes.

Orlando Hospital may have
violated state law
By Greg Groeller | Sentinel Staff Writer
Posted March 11, 2003
Orlando Regional Medical Center may have violated state law by failing to
give at least six months' notice before the planned April 1 shutdown of its
Level 1 trauma center, Orange County Chairman Richard Crotty said Monday.
Crotty, in strongly worded letters to Orlando Regional and the Florida
Department of Health, demanded that the hospital abide by the law and that
the state agency enforce it.

Raiding your funeral fund
© St. Petersburg Times
published March 11, 2003
If you have already paid for your funeral and can still read this, may your
remaining days be long and happy. But are you sure you'll get what you paid
for?
...But it seems that the trust fund is almost too solvent for its own good.
The Legislature raided it for $250,000 last year to help plug holes in the
general revenue budget. Now, Gov. Jeb Bush wants virtually all that's left,
some $5.3-million. It's unclear how, or even whether, the state would
continue to guarantee pre-need funerals after that.

Compassionate Conservative EMAIL:

Subject: good job...
Lisa,
One question...when you were helping all those poor souls in the maxim
security prison...what were you doing for the victims of their crimes? Hmmm????
Probably about the same as aiding and abetting the enemy in Sadam. A
liberal through and through...pat yourself on the back. Good job...you go
girl...
Marsha
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha...don't you have spell check?
maxim? in Sadam? I guess you meant in Iraq?
Aid and abet the enemy? Not me, Papa Bush was
the one who did that back in the 80's by giving Saddam weapons of mass
destruction.
Your compassionate conservatism is so telling,
that I am compelled to answer your question. I did teach in
a maximum security prison -- my goal was to teach inmates to return to society
educated so they would not continue to commit crimes. If
that goal was accomplished in all prisons -- there would be fewer future
victims.
That is what I was doing for victims of crime -- my
pre-emptive strike. I know you love pre-emptive strikes.
I accept your apology for misunderestimating me.
MY BROTHER
