Payroll records show nearly half of Virginia's 140 state senators and delegates paid their legislative aides daily expense allowances for weekends not worked and mileage for trips home. The overpayments could total up to 35 thousand dollars, with lawmakers defending convenience and legality while clerks report no time cards to prove work days.

Baltimore Archdiocese studies inner city parishes for future plan
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore surveys 58 inner city congregations to assess strengths and weaknesses as a step toward possible closings or consolidations. Priest advocates say the study helps parish self improvement, while some fear it signals decline and future closures. The last closures in 1986 affected St James St Johns St Katharine’s and St Wenceslaus in East Baltimore amid protests.

The Eckerd Foundation would run the camp with a one to one staff to inmate ratio for 30 youths aged 15 to 17, including four hours of classes daily.
