Toll road scheme tied to U S 15 funding in Maryland
The House mulls an amendment to keep U S 15 a toll road in name only with Frederick allowed to collect tolls if conditions align. Senators Smelser and Thomas pushed a bond plan for the Emmitsburg Pike and Choptank Bridge funding amid wider fights over highway projects and a gasoline tax. The Senate backed related measures, while the House battles to move bills before looming deadlines and a filibuster over eye medication rules stalled progress.

Maryland General Assembly Faces Final Push at Adjournment
As the 1981 session nears midnight adjournment, both houses wrestle with tax and funding bills. In the House the key item is a variable rate gasoline tax adding a penny per gallon for five years, while Senate debates stall progress with filibusters on a broad agenda including a Maryland Racing Authority and raising the drinking age. Backlog grows as efforts to fund transportation and public schools face stalemate, with cloture threats and party lines shaping the clock. A separate incident reports a Frederick County man injured during a burglary attempt at White's Ferry Sportsmen's Club, under investigation by Montgomery County Police.
