Maryland seeks free school breakfasts to boost learning
Advocates urge state funding for Maryland Meals for Achievement to provide free breakfasts to up to 46,000 students across Baltimore-Washington suburbs to the Eastern Shore, arguing better nutrition aids focus and reduces tardiness. The plan would include in-class buffets for all pupils, not just those eligible for free meals, with a $5 million budget proposed for next year.

Construction to start on mixing bowl in Springfield Va
The Mixing Bowl, where I 95 and 395 meet, will be rebuilt over six years at a $330 million cost. The project adds 30 ramps and 50 bridges, creating 24 lanes in places and raises daily delays for commuters and trucking firms. Local residents fear long disruptions but some say improvement may justify the toll.
