School board seeks space for storage amid building boom
The fiscal services director says space is tight as multiple construction projects run simultaneously. The school board plans to insure the elementary school through Frederick Underwriters and install a portable security system to later reuse at Frederick High. Commissioner Hoke wants to avoid hindering the building’s sale while allowing temporary storage. The county owes about 59000 in bonds funded by the state, with a 1996 deadline to repay, and faces options to sell or lease to groups like Banner School and the Salvation Army. A 1992 rezoning limits school use unless a special exception is granted, and the board has until Dec 31 to secure space while covering operating costs.

Way's legal saga grows from Perot campaign firing
Larry Way pursues court actions over his dismissal from Ross Perot's 1992 presidential campaign. He was told he was fired for alleged Ku Klux Klan ties, a charge the campaign's own investigators later found unfounded. A complaint of a threat to kill him was filed by Hal Kass, a state campaign official, hours after his firing. Police closed the case without contacting Way, who learned of the complaint years later in a driving record review. He calls the allegation untrue and far-fetched.

House Fights Over 1.4 Trillion Dollar Spending Cut Plan
The House negotiators back a 1.4 trillion dollar framework aimed at a balanced budget by 2002, slicing billions from housing, airports, education and EPA programs while drawing fire from Republicans who accuse Clinton of harming disaster relief and anti terror efforts. Democratic critics call the plan a tax cut favoring the rich and an unprecedented redistribution of income, with three Republican freshmen voting no.
