Debris floods Chesapeake Bay after January flood
Maryland officials report Chesapeake Bay carries ten times normal debris from January flooding. Trees and logs threaten piers and boats as spring tides rise. John Moses loses thousands after a 35 foot tree crashes his Annapolis pier. Damaged Susquehanna floods widen cleanup costs and seek federal aid.

Welfare reform measures weighed in Maryland debates
Anita Blake, 30, with four children, faces welfare reform that could require job training and either work or community service to continue benefits. Governor Glendening backs statewide triggers cutting aid after two to five years, contingent on federal mandates, with funds offset by child support. Advocates warn of dire consequences for children if jobs vanish and the safety net tightens.

State mulls welfare changes in Glendening plan shifts
The proposal would cap benefits at five years or suspend after two years if recipients refuse program participation. Legislation hinges on a federal mandate. The state would redirect funds to local social service agencies for administration of child care and related programs. Eligibility would include pregnant women or those with a minor child, with simultaneous child support and welfare applications and an assessment of finances, work history, and education.
