The Carroll Creek Commission proposes a special tax district to fund downtown Frederick rehabilitation. State and local governments would share costs, with commercial and multi family developers within the district anticipated to bear the primary burden. Homeowners remodeling would likely be exempt. The plan, not definite, aims to shift costs to beneficiaries while boosting downtown vitality.

Annapolis Bureau Chief Bob Reid reports that Governor Schaefer bypasses the General Assembly on funding and projects. Controversy grows over a $290 million trolley plan, a $20 million smart school, a $7 million golf course contract, raises for staff, and a proposed $20 million sunny day fund. The Board of Public Works is portrayed as Schaefer’s tool, raising concerns about separation of powers and fiscal control. The governor is praised for people oriented programs but urged to include lawmakers in budgeting decisions.
