Way Station project seeks funding for Frederick County
A Maryland legislative committee weighed a $14.5 million plan to buy and renovate the Barbara Fritchie motel for Way Station to rehabilitate mentally ill residents in Frederick County. Local groups pledge $375,000, with $1 million from locals, $2 million from foundations, and $1 million from the state. Advocates say costs to integrate the mentally ill are far lower than hospital care. The panel also considered water storage and flood protection projects for Carroll Creek and town water upgrades in Thurmont and Myersville, with several officials stressing public safety and economic benefits.

Maryland and West Virginia members in the House oppose raising the 55 mph national speed limit while Virginia and Pennsylvania lawmakers split. The tally showed strong opposition from eight Marylanders and four West Virginians with some Senate support for lifting to 65 mph. Rep.
