Scott Campbell says the New Design Station could become the permanent home for United Fire Co while fiscal 19 funds cover design and fiscal 2000 construction. Diane Penn cites the tax district funding impact and Jan Gardner warns of possible operating shortfalls if reserves are drawn down.

Lawmakers urged to tighten marriage age rules in Maryland
Anne Arundel County clerk Robert Duckworth told a House Judiciary panel he routinely marries pregnant girls under 16 to men up to 50, calling the current law repugnant. Delegate Boschert seeks to end the pregnancy exception, require notarized parental consent and attendance at weddings, while critics warn stricter rules could drive more abortions and out of wedlock births. The case of 13-year-old Tina Akers and 29-year-old Wayne Compton Jr. sparked the bill amid debate over statutory rape versus marriage loopholes, as prosecutors weigh charges and test marital privilege for testimony.
