Montgomery County zeroes in on northern dump sites
The Montgomery County Council narrowed the search for a new landfill by dropping Laytonsville area sites and focusing on Dickerson Poolesville and Clarksburg while rejecting the Rockville Crushed Stone quarry on Travilah Road. Public hearings showed mixed feelings as Oaks landfill expansion to 2012 was approved to handle ash from the Dickerson incinerator and non-burnables, with cost estimates at 71 million and a potential 20 year expansion.

Kingsbury to keep take-home county car under policy exception
Frederick County commissioners split 2 2 allowing Gilbert Kingsbury director of Parks and Recreation to continue using a take-home vehicle despite a new policy. Kingsbury said he was promised the car when hired in 1973 and had driven it 80 000 miles. Commissioners Bollinger and Stup opposed citing no job description backing the benefit. The ruling preserves the car while tying the exception to his role as department head.
