(AP) — Mississippi's attorney general says he still considers Google's responses to allegations that it's not doing enough to prevent illegal online sales of drugs without prescriptions and says he's sending out subpoenas for company documents to further his investigation. Hood, a Democrat, says the Mountain View, Calif.-based company hasn't adequately responded to requests by himself and the National Association of Attorneys General to discuss sites that sell drugs without prescriptions, as well as that improperly link to copyrighted music, videos and other material. Google's lack of response leaves us no choice except to issue subpoenas to Google for possible violations of state consumer protection acts and other state and federal civil and criminal laws. Working together, companies in the private sector, non-profit organizations and law enforcement have made it increasingly difficult for rogue pharmacies to effectively market their illegal products online, Barea wrote, and operators of these sites are being forced to turn to much less effective marketing techniques from the outskirts of the Internet. Hood also says that Google still isn't doing enough to stop its auto-complete feature from suggesting sites for online drugs without a prescription and pirated movies, saying the phrases "facilitate known illegal behavior."

(AP) — Republicans privately negotiated a series of last-minute changes to the Wisconsin budget Tuesday designed to smooth its passage, including removing a cap on a popular tax credit program for disabled veterans and delaying the loosening of requirements for high-capacity wells. After only 15 minutes of debate on the two-year, $70 billion spending plan, the Assembly quit work for the day so Democrats could be briefed on the Republican changes before resuming Wednesday morning. None of the changes Republicans announced got to the heart of the biggest budget issues that have generated the most heat from Democrats and moderate Republicans — namely the growth of private school vouchers statewide and the rejection of federally funded Medicaid expansion. A third would give the state Department of Natural Resources the authority to pass an emergency rule restricting public access to land near Lake Superior where protesters have attempted to interfere with preliminary work to open a massive iron ore mine. [] Democrats raised concerns about the changes, including wording that appeared to restrict what information the state Department of Public Instruction could release about voucher school students. Moderate Senate Republicans, along with Democrats, had been calling for more changes to the budget, including a scaling back of the voucher expansion and acceptance of the Medicaid money. There were also calls to reject a provision that would kick the Center for Investigative Journalism off of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, do away with the DNA collection requirement and not allow bail bondsmen to operate in the state.
