  3. Levees, removable walls in plan to protect NYC

          NEW YORK (AP) - Mayor Michael Bloomberg is proposing removable flood walls for much of lower Manhattan, a permanent 15-to-20-foot levee in part of Staten Island and a system of gates and levees at a Brooklyn creek as part of a nearly $20 billion plan to protect New York City from storms and global warming.  Bloomberg's proposals in a speech Tuesday also include building dunes in Staten Island and the Rockaways, and considering building a levee and a new development at the South Street Seaport that would echo nearby Battery Park City.   He's also suggesting giving $1.2 billion in grants to property owners to flood-proof their buildings.   The speech stems from a study undertaken after Superstorm Sandy.   Bloomberg says the city and Sandy relief will provide $10 million for these projects.

  4. EEOC sues over criminal background checks

          WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing discount retailer Dollar General Corp., and a BMW manufacturing plant in South Carolina over their use of criminal background checks to screen out job applicants or fire employees.  The agency says the policies discriminate against African Americans. The two lawsuits filed Tuesday are the first since the agency revised its guidance last year to warn employers against overly broad criminal checks to screen workers.   The EEOC says the BMW policy doesn't consider the nature of the crimes or how old they are. It alleges that Dollar General fired one employee even though the conviction report about her was wrong.      Officials at BMW and Dollar General did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
