District furloughs squeeze 22,100 workers in DC
Washington DC plans up to six day furloughs for 22,100 municipal employees through Oct 1 to save 51 million dollars. Nonessential staff face pay cuts and time off while emergency workers and those funded entirely by federal coffers are spared. The move aims to show progress in cutting the district debt before a financial control board.

St Mary’s City in Maryland, once pitched as a living history museum, attracts about 50,000 visitors annually against estimates of 500,000. Executive director Sara E. Patton resigns after two years, urging state support, with critics noting a hard-to-reach site and limited funding. Leonard Calvert and 17th century remains underscore the site's importance.
