Unpaid debts linger after Frederick rink sale
More than $85,000 remains owed by the failed Frederick Sports and Sce na, with 19 creditors including six of the top 20 local unsecured debts. The arena was sold for $2.6 million, far short of the $5.6 million owed, leaving many businesses unpaid while officials defend the deal as part of county risk taking. Waynesboro Construction, the largest creditor, is owed $44,796 for arena work from the mid 1990s. Frederick City and County each loaned $125,000 and will receive only $10,000 back, though officials note some tax revenue offset losses.

Cigarette Tax and Bias Bills Headed to Votes
In Annapolis the final eight days of the 1999 session loom as three Glendening proposals move toward Senate committees. A $1 cigarette tax hike over two years, a ban on discrimination against homosexuals, and bargaining rights for state employees face action while the session also weighs the budget and a partial birth abortion ban. Legislative leaders expect to finish by the April 12 adjournment despite potential late-week delays.
