Dems open New York convention with pointed Bush critique
The Democratic gathering in New York opened with sharp attacks on President Bush and a celebratory salute to Bill Clinton's rise from Arkansas to the White House. Barbara Jordan and Zell Miller framed the race as a clash of aristocrat autocrat and Democrat as Clinton seeks a moderate platform, with Gore drawing praise and Jerry Brown’s supporters demanding a prime time slot. Clinton avoided conflict, jogged in Central Park, and addressed protesters outside.

Frederick County officials warn the new fiscal year could see state spending reductions that shift more of a $240 million deficit onto counties. Budget Officer Mark Sneadner estimates Frederick could face about a $7.9 million shortfall, based on past patterns, with formal details due after first-quarter tax reports in November. County departments may be asked to trim percentages to cover potential deficits.
