WASHINGTON (AP) – A series of fiery train crashes spurred a push by government and industry to make safer tank cars used to ship crude oil and ethanol. But the effort is bogging down in squabbling and finger-pointing.
A spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute says the railroad industry won’t share data behind their recommendations to make the cars safer. He says the oil industry wants a “comprehensive examination” of proposed changes.
But the Transportation Department says it’s the oil industry that won’t share its data on the dangers of the oil being shipped. The department is drafting regulations aimed at making the cars less likely to spill their contents in the event of a crash.
National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman says it’s time for a referee to step in.

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) – Top officials at Minnesota State, Mankato are asking state auditors to review the dismissal of head football coach Todd Hoffner.
The coach has returned to the university after he was reinstated by an arbitrator who said he was improperly fired.
Hoffner was dismissed by the school in 2013, several months after he was arrested on a child pornography charge that was later dropped. Hoffner returned to his old job, even though he had taken a similar position at Minot State.
In a letter, MnSCU (MINN’-skew) Chancellor Steven Rosenstone and Minnesota State President Richard Davenport said an independent review is warranted given the concerns raised about the process. The university was criticized for how it handled Hoffner’s case. The coach’s supporters said the school overreacted in the wake of the sex abuse scandal at Penn State.
