Frederick’s City Council weighs next year’s budget with no tax hike for residents. Property assessments by the state may push bills higher despite stable rates, while Mayor Jim Grimes and aldermen strive to balance soaring costs with minimal service cuts.
A columnist assesses Mayor James Grimes as he steers Frederick through another S and W rate hike. The piece criticizes policy shifts, media perception, and calls for administrative reform and citizen input to avoid bureaucratic overreach as the city faces decay and low voter turnout.
A reader recalls voting for Barry Goldwater as the Republican nominee and details the election’s impact. The piece notes Goldwater's landslide loss, his death on May 29 at age 89, and the author’s evolving views sparked by his principles and the 1964 convention speech that influenced future figures like Ronald Reagan.
A reminiscence recounts Joseph Spear’s libertarian view and Barry Goldwater’s stance against the religious right, portraying Goldwater as a principled, independent figure who favored limited government. It cites quotes attacking religious activists, Nixon, Reagan era controversies, and Clinton era Whitewater debates, ending with respect for Goldwater’s legacy.

A reader criticizes a letter by Richard Bright about the Lake Linganore annual election. The writer defends the association, notes Bright’s long residence, and invites him to attend public board meetings held first and third Mondays. Office hours are 9 to 5, with the general manager ready to answer questions.
A reader defends the Lake Linganore Association from claims that developers avoid dues and urges broader resident participation. The letter cites CDA participation, requests for written explanations from John Kendall, and criticizes Representative Bartlett and local governance, calling for reform and term limits. The author, Bruce and Suzanne Prudhomme of Frederick, also questions district representation.
A reader lauds Mr Anglebower and criticizes Rep Bartlett for disrespecting Clinton and violating the President's rights. The letter argues Congress should reform laws, simplify taxes, and honor the Constitution, insisting on innocent until proven guilty and condemning biased treatment of leaders.
Amy Masser writes to clarify that a new Down syndrome support group does not replace the Pee Wee PODS group for children five and under.
