A long running controversy over the Impressions book series prompts a county to revise its policy. The new rules let parents review textbooks and allow proponents to comment, while excluding teacher guides and other materials from review.
Eugenia N Gregory urges county commissioners to uphold the 1992 water and sewer plan policies in the New Market Comprehensive Plan. She notes proposed changes contradicting the plan and warns against approving subregional plants for Harvest Ridge and Richardson, advocating no planned public water or sewer service and adherence to prior board policies.
An August 10 Capital editorial criticizes the Maryland Department of Natural Resources plan to remove park trash cans. It notes many visitors carry trash home in brown bags, leaving litter along exits and docks, and argues the policy harms park appearance and visitor experience while likely facing legislative opposition.
A historical opinion arguing that low across the board tax cuts spurred growth in the 1960s and 1980s, and that Clinton era proposals to raise taxes on the wealthy contradict this lesson. The piece laments modern demands for higher rates as greed and envy, contending revenues rise with growth, not higher rates.
The piece argues that the richest 1 percent paid rising shares of federal income taxes from 1980 to 1990 while overall receipts doubled, contradicting claims that tax cuts benefited the rich. It cites IRS data, Reagan era reductions, and bracket creep, warning higher rates fall on the middle class and noting historical context from 1913 onward.
Promoters extend Friday night dances through Oct 1 at Braddock Heights where about 400 attendees, many in uniform, joined the trolley brigade to warm up as Al Gruber's band plays. Local draft officials report Tidmore of Frederick has left for Camp Lee to begin service.
A letter responds to Stephen Bauman's July 23 piece No multiculturalism, arguing his view misdefines multiculturalism as division. The writer supports multicultural education as inclusive, stressing that American culture is diverse and that understanding fosters respect, not separation.
Tammy Beall argues for inclusive education embracing all cultures to avoid parochial views while opposing mandatory public smoking bans. She critiques Mr. Samuel yet asserts personal choice remains vital as she describes smoking impacts on non-smokers and favors voluntary, considerate limits.
A reader rebuts Ben Samuel's smoking letter, asserting that tobacco causes substantial cancer deaths and addiction. Citing figures from 1993 and the 1988 Surgeon General's Report, the piece argues passive smoke exposure also raises lung cancer risk.
