Bartlett seeks funds to replace guardsmen pistols with Beretta M9
Rep. Roscoe Bartlett and Rep. David Mann urged the House panel to authorize 9.5 million dollars to buy 38,000 Beretta M9 9mm pistols for national use, with Maryland units receiving a share produced in Accokeek. The plan would replace about 800 Colt .45 pistols used since 1911, though most guardsmen still qualify with M-16 rifles. The Beretta plant in Prince George's County employs 450 people.

SHA to close Potomac Avenue and 40A intersection
Braddock Heights officials say the State Highway Administration will close the Potomac Avenue and U S 40 A intersection this summer. The closure accompanies a traffic signal installation at Old National Pike Maryland Avenue and Ridge Road. Neil Spiller notes the closure reduces safety hazards and prevents three minor legs that would cut green time on 40 A.

Special events costly for city
Frederick city faces police staffing strain from Fourth of July events and other parades. Officials aim to limit overtime by using on duty officers, leading to a 18 officer requirement around Baker Park and a four officer limit for a Lions Club motorcycle race at the Frederick fairgrounds. The Lions seek off duty officers at a higher hourly rate, while city leaders push for private security or skeleton staffing to manage key trouble spots.
