NEW YORK (AP) -- A federal appeals court has rejected a law requiring airlines to provide food, water, clean toilets and fresh air to passengers trapped in a plane delayed on the ground.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that New York's new state law interferes with federal law governing the price, route or service of an air carrier. It was the first law in the nation of its kind.

The appeals court said the new law was laudable but only the federal government has the authority to enact such a regulation.

The law was challenged before the appeals court by the Air Transport Association of America, the industry trade group representing leading U.S. airlines.

What are you doing to save money or get by now that we are in a recession and gas prices are approaching $4 per gallon?

Even though I am not being directly affected by the gas prices or the recession, I and my spouse are cutting back. We are cook more meals at home, lowered the temp in the home for the winter to 66, have decided to keep it at 85 during the summer. We are also buying food that will last longer and less expensive i.e beans, lentils, chicken, white fish etc. Also, looking at drying our clothes on a clothesline rather than in the dryer.

Duh!! I could have told you he didnt care about the American people.

Why is McBush not speaking out and why is he still being chummy w/ Rev. Hagee?
