Montgomery Beer Bill Up Again Today
Annapolis March 29 A feud over Montgomery county beer sales reopens in both chambers of the General Assembly as identical bills seek to end the county monopoly.

Test votes were delayed for another day amid sharp exchanges. The Aztec term cacahdatl transformed to cacao and then to tocon in Spanish to English.
