Bloomberg.com: U.S. Pennsylvania Democrats, who make up more than half of the state's registered voters, accused Republicans of using ``every trick in the book'' to design districts after the 2000 census that gave the majority party 12 of the state's 19 congressional seats, up from 11 seats in the previous 21-member delegation. The Colorado Supreme Court threw out the new congressional districts in that state, while a federal court upheld the Texas districts. The justices ruled 5-4 against Pennsylvania Democrats' claim that districts drawn by the Republican-dominated legislature were so partisan they violated the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law. quote.bloomberg.com /apps/news?pid=10000103&sid=aRYlDahjbE60&refer=us   (832 words)

US Airways ALPA Pilots Applaud Congressional Delegation for Efforts to Help Promote Talks with US Airways Management After US Airways management indicated that saving all pilot jobs was possible, ALPA offered pay cap reductions, a pilot-funded early retirement program and training relief, and had a proposal on the table since August 13, 2001, for authorizing US Airways to use additional small jets under its code. This is a welcome development, since US Airways senior management has made public statements that additional small jets are critical to US Airways’ future, but has repeatedly failed to enter into discussions with ALPA to address the issue to the detriment of the Company and employees. The objective after September 11 was to provide US Airways with immediate cash to deal with the drop in passenger demand, prevent employee furloughs, and maintain the ability for a quick recovery when demand returned. cf.alpa.org /internet/news/2001news/nr01-aaa2.htm   (803 words)

Daily Local News - News - 12/31/2002 - Differing cemetery issue view However, sometimes it is easier to introduce new legislation, as was the case when U.S. Rep. Joe Hoeffel, D-Montgomery County, and U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., did so in the last session of the U.S. Congress, with all but one member of the congressional delegation from Pennsylvania signing on as co-sponsors. But the reality is that bureaucrats wait years and years to propose sites and then itis usually done with a view that places veterans in second-class status and doesn’t honor their wishes before death. Your editorial takes issue with the prior legislation introduced into the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate, and now takes further issue with the published decision of Congressman-elect James Gerlach’s public statements that he would support introduction of similar legislation when he gets sworn in as a U.S. Representative on Jan. 7. www.dailylocal.com /site/news.cfm?newsid=6552349&BRD=1671&PAG=461&dept_id=17782&rfi=6   (465 words)
