U S 15 bond plan stalls then lingers in committee
A Maryland Senate Budget and Taxation panel debated funding for finishing US Route 15 through Emmitsburg to Frederick. Senator Smelser proposed a $21 million bond from DOT bonding authority, not the state fund, with $4 million yearly installments in 1982 83 and 1984. Critics argued the road should not be singled out for bonding amid broader highway needs. The hearing adjourned as the chamber bells rang and a revote was postponed.
