Police Brutality History Spurs Reform in Prince Georges County
A long record of police shootings in Prince Georges County, Maryland, from 1989 through the 1990s prompted a county panel and a renewed task force to push reforms. The Washington Post found high fatal shooting rates, many unarmed victims, and calls for stronger oversight while officials defend officers’ use of force. Community groups warn that problems persist amid continuing investigations and public scrutiny.

State Debates Public Land Drilling Ban in Maryland
Maryland regulators weigh environmental safeguards and a permitting process for drilling on public land as the Board of Public Warts considers new rules. The intent is to curb environmental risk while major energy firms allege delays and may cut into potential gas-rich Western Maryland leases. Cathy Kirsch of Fox On & Gas Inc criticizes the process amid long-running tests at Dan's Moon Wildside Area in Allegany County. The debate centers on whether proposed restrictions will prompt firms to abandon plans or push for quicker access to state lands.
