Dickerson site eyed for county trash incinerator move
ROCKVILLE The Dickerson PEPCO site may be added to Montgomery County solid waste plans as a potential location for the county trash incinerator. Councilman David L. Scull pushed a plan amendment to include Dickerson as an option amid opposition to Shady Grove Road and Travilah Quarry sites. Peggy Erickson of the Concerned Citizens and Scientists for a Healthful Environment reserved judgment, while opposing weaker safeguards and urging scrubbers and a bag house in any proposal.

Aquino forms panel on revolutionary powers in Philippines
President Corazon Aquino named a commission to consider granting herself power to dismantle Marcos era autocracy. The panel, picked at the first Cabinet meeting, must report in a week as other groups tackle local government reform and economic direction amid a 250 million dollar first quarter shortfall. The defense ministry announced the surrender of Assemblyman Orlando Dulay, with Arturo Pacificador still at large, as top generals pledged loyalty to Aquino after a 75 minute briefing with the commander in chief. Jovita Salonga heads a wealth probe to be conducted in New York and Washington over the next two weeks. The new government aims to shore up treasury and reduce a 28 billion dollar foreign debt by recovering 5 to 10 billion in wealth allegedly siphoned out by Marcos-era officials.
