THE VIOLATIONS INCLUDED THE BUILD-UP OF
DANGEROUS GASSES.

DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAD ANYTHING TO

"It doesn't make sense to us that the

A special prosecutor today
cleared Allen Taylor and Terry Alley of
any wrong doing.

The investigation dealt with
missing military surplus equipment at
the sheriff's office.

The equipment was stored at
Taylor's home, even though he'd been
out of office for nearly two years.

Special prosecutor Jerry Wolfe
says while all of these actions were
very unprofessional, unethical and
unwise, there is insufficient evidence
to prove that the actions of either one
of the individuals being investigated
were done with criminal intent.

States did and thought it would be a

Botetourt's Jason Rutschman finds
the going a little tough to the hoop,

The extra weight of S-U-V's does
reduce the risk of injury to the
passengers "but" the risk of the
vehicle rolling over is four times
higher.

Congress is currently working on
new legislation that would require
automakers to reduce the risk of roll
overs in S-U-V's by improving stability
in turns and increasing roof strength. (END VO) (END VO)
