...fiscal mess. Michigan is cutting revenue to townships like Harrison. Governor John Engler is expected to announce some $470 million in total budget cuts this week.

...police closed in, Samudra made his second mistake. Authorities nabbed two of his bodyguards, who revealed that their boss planned to board a bus that was to cross by ferry boat from Java's Sundra Strait to the town of Pekanbaru on the island of Sumatra. Samudra's name wasn't on the passenger list at the Kurnia bus company's office for the Nov. 21, 5:30 p.m. departure. But another name immediately jumped out at the police: Arema. It was a nickname commonly used by those from the East Java town of Malang...
