Gordon Proposes Six-Cent City Tax Boost to Fund Next Year
The editorial supports Mayor Paul Gordon's plan to raise the property tax rate by six cents to fund next fiscal year services. A $1.61 per $100 assessment on a $40,000 home would add $24, bringing the city closer to $1.5 million needed. Budget cuts include eliminating memberships in regional councils and limiting Maryland Municipal League travel, with employees bearing more costs.

Soviets may have fought for Iraq in Gulf crisis
The CIA says Soviet forces may have acted as double agents during the Gulf war, with several dozen to perhaps 1,000 Soviet personnel serving with Iraqi units or aiding Iraqi efforts. Intercepts and reports place Soviets in Baghdad and assisting from the embassy, while Moscow publicly denied troops there. The findings raise questions about Soviet aid and its impact on superpower relations amid embargo adherence.
