Tax relief plan would cut Maryland homeowners’ bills
Maryland residents could gain rebates under a pending General Assembly package. For a $12 500 income and a $20 000 home, a $41 property tax rebate is possible. Elderly and disabled homeowners would see larger totals, while many under 60 would benefit modestly. Officials critique relief instead of reform, noting one year measures require reenactment and circuit breaker relief remains temporary. Local police and highway aid would increase, with broader assessment and hearing provisions to curb tax rate hikes.

Western Maryland utility bills spark political pressure at Annapolis
Acting Gov. Blair Lee III faced Western Maryland anger as a bag containing about 350 utility bills was dumped at his feet by Del. Julien Delphey at a press briefing. Lawmakers from the region pressed for action to ease rising electricity costs tied to coal shortages and PE power purchases. Senate leaders backed seeking federal disaster aid via an economic emergency declaration, while a separate bill proposed removing the five percent state sales tax on the fuel adjustment portion of utility bills.

Begin appeals for support after rejecting Carter demand
Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin flies home after spurning President Carter's call to remove settlements, appealing to Americans for backing. Reports say Washington aims to replace Begin with Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, claims denied by White House and leaders. Weizman urged Labor to join a national peace government as critics tag a Dump Begin movement. Begin spoke in Washington and New York, accusing U S praise of Israeli peace efforts of vanishing, and demanded US pressures end. Rabbi Schindler urged an unrestrained attack on Carter's Middle East policy.
