Roth Dors to Vet Commission on Government Reform
U.S. Sen. Bill Roth introduces S-10 creating a bipartisan Commission on More Effective Government to prune federal bureaucracy. Joined by Sen. Eagleton and Rep. Bolling, the plan mirrors the Hoover Commission and aims to streamline delivery of services, speed decision making, and restore public confidence. The panel would draw on existing studies, hold public hearings, and include 14 citizen members appointed by the President, Senate majority leader, and House speaker.

It highlights Alderman Stup not seeking reelection, a plan to move Taneytown High to Key School, donations to a city charity fund, and community responses to leadership in Frederick. It also recalls regional historical items from 1901 and 1982 with references to local figures and civic concerns.
