The plan would fund two Baltimore stadiums via annual lotteries, with remaining debt covered by taxpayers if the bets fail. Senator Charles Smelser opposed the amendment, aligning with groups backing broad taxpayer support.

Abandoned child soldier fights for veteran status in US
The VA denies veteran benefits to Walter Lee Martin, a 31 year old man who served in Vietnam after being illegally enlisted at 13. Investigations trace his path from Arcadia Florida to Long Binh, detailing multiple enlistment attempts, a later AWOL claim, and a three year prison sentence for impersonation and bad checks. Congress may consider recognizing his service, but political resistance looms as an inaugural governance audit and a separate note criticizes Paraguayan aid and Stroessner’s regime.
