Charges filed<br />
in Yosemite<br />
sightseer slaying<br />
MARIPOSA, Calif. (AP) —<br />
Relatives of three sightseers slain in<br />
Yosemite National Park say they<br />
are glad murder charges have been<br />
filed against a motel handyman<br />
who allegedly confessed <strong>to</strong> the<br />
killings three months ago.<br />
‘‘I think I’ll feel a resolution<br />
when it’s all done — when this<br />
man is in jail or in prison for at least<br />
the rest of his life,’’ said Carole<br />
Carring<strong>to</strong>n, whose daughter, Carole<br />
Sund, and granddaughter, Juli<br />
Sund, were two of the victims.<br />
Cary Stayner, 38, was charged<br />
with three murder counts on<br />
Wednesday. He could face the<br />
death penalty if convicted.<br />
FBI investiga<strong>to</strong>rs say Stayner<br />
confessed in late July <strong>to</strong> killing<br />
Sund, 42, her daughter Juli, 15, and<br />
their Argentine friend Silvina<br />
Pelosso, 16, while the three were<br />
visiting the park in February.<br />
Teen charged<br />

Columbine threat<br />
GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — A<br />
Columbine High School student<br />
has been arrested for allegedly<br />
threatening <strong>to</strong> ‘‘finish the job’’ of<br />
the two teen-age gunmen who carried<br />
out last spring’s massacre.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 17-year-old student, whose<br />
name was withheld because he is a<br />
juvenile, was jailed Tuesday on<br />

life or property, and theft for<br />
allegedly stealing a school microphone.<br />
He was held on $500,000<br />
bond.<br />
A student reported that the teen<br />
had remarked that he would ‘‘finish<br />
the job started by Eric Harris and<br />
Dylan Klebold,’’ Sheriff John P.<br />

Republicans say informal negotiations<br />
continue, and it’s the Democrats who have<br />
caused delay by not responding <strong>to</strong> their latest<br />
proposals.<br />
‘‘I would hope that unprovoked political<br />
posturing would be held back so that<br />
we can bring this <strong>to</strong> fruition for<br />
American’s children,’’ House Judiciary<br />
Committee Chairman Henry Hyde, R-Ill.,<br />
WASHINGTON (AP) — Cellular telephone<br />
calls would be taxed as if they came from a<br />
caller’s home or office regardless of where in the<br />
country they were made under a bill introduced<br />
in the Senate Wednesday.<br />
Backers of the plan, including cities, governors<br />
and cell phone companies, contend it would<br />
eliminate a confusing patchwork of taxes on calls<br />
from mobile phones.<br />
‘‘It’s a radical simplification of the current<br />
system,’’ said Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, chairman<br />
of the National Governors Association.<br />

Taxation of wireless phone calls currently is<br />
based on various fac<strong>to</strong>rs such as the relay <strong>to</strong>wer<br />
that picks up a phone’s signal or the switching<br />
center that directs the call <strong>to</strong> its recipient. That<br />
means the same call could be taxed several times,<br />
especially if the caller moves through several<br />
cities, counties or <strong>state</strong>s while talking.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bill, introduced by Sens. Sam<br />
Brownback, R-Kan., and Byron Dorgan, D-N.D.,<br />
would allow calls <strong>to</strong> be taxed on the <strong>state</strong> and<br />
local governments with jurisdiction over the<br />
caller’s home or office address.<br />

included in a Senate bill that <strong>to</strong>ughens<br />
treatment of and penalties for juvenile<br />
offenders. A similar House measure does<br />
not contain gun restrictions, and lawmakers<br />
from both houses must meet <strong>to</strong> reconcile<br />
the differences between the two bills.<br />
Proposal would tax cell phone calls at user’s address<br />
Cellular phone companies say the change<br />
would make it easier for them <strong>to</strong> collect <strong>state</strong> and<br />
local taxes. Governments would no longer have<br />
<strong>to</strong> track calls from mobile phones inside their<br />
boundaries, backers of the plan say. And consumers<br />
could benefit from streamlined bills and<br />
possibly lower rates, supporters say.<br />
Leavitt and other supporters conceded that<br />

revenue.<br />
