Issues

Barney Frank Considers Tort Reform

Barney Frank (D-Mass.) indicated a willingness to negotiate re: restrictions on medical negligence lawsuits."I also am ready, as a liberal, to look at the whole question of malpractice and liability reform," Frank said during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, according to a transcript. "People who are injured ought to be compensated, but I do think that that's something that I would throw in if we had an otherwise overall compromise [on the national debt], because I recognize everybody's got to give something to get this."

Toyota Recalls 308,000 SUVs to Fix Airbag Problem

Toyota has announced a recall of 308,000 sport utility vehicles that are equipped with airbags that can deploy without a crash. The recall covers 214,000 2007-2008 RAV4s and 94,000 Highlander and Highlander hybrids from 2008. The company said it first learned about the problem in 2007, discovering the cause to be a short circuit of two sensors in the vehicle.
