City studies sidewalk repair rules workshop set for March 17
Frederick officials consider a policy that repairs must follow complaints, with property owners bearing costs.

Temporary measures allowed if immediate fixes are impossible.

University bill draws criticism in Maryland hearing
In Annapolis a bill by Gov Parris Glendening to give the University System of Maryland more autonomy faces criticism from community and private colleges over potential program duplication. Lawmakers note funding constraints could limit overlap while supporters praise increased funding and accountability. The proposal would allow presidents to approve new programs at Maryland’s universities, bypassing state Higher Education Commission oversight. Critics warn of losing statewide program coordination as the commission reviews about 65 proposals yearly.
