County ethics law to be adopted by March 1 1982
Maryland lawmakers push counties and Baltimore City to enact an ethics code for elected officials and volunteers by March 1 1982. In Frederick County the plan draws on two model codes and awaits Maryland ethics commission approval before public hearings and a board vote. Sanford Blum, a local advocate, urges stronger provisions to deter conflicts of interest while not scaring away volunteers. He cites annual gifts disclosure required for county officials and employees under the draft.

Corruption, weak audits, and a 5 percent loss rule favor armed services, urban residents, and officials, starving rural peasants. A drought threatens harvests while mismanagement and grain sales at bargain prices invite further abuse.
