Maryland Comptroller Defends State Economy
Maryland Comptroller Louis L. Goldstein tells the Maryland Bankers Association that the state’s economy is sound and growing, highlighting manufacturing gains and higher per capita income growth rates than the national average. He cites water and energy resources as future advantages and rejects critiques of the state’s economic performance. Meanwhile United Airlines faces a 10 day restraining order over alleged discrimination against blind passengers by confiscating canes during takeoffs and landings, with the airline asserting it enforces standard rules. The FAA ruling against the airline is cited by the airline as support.

State seeks Port terminal operator
Maryland aims to avoid a state takeover of the South Locust Point Marine Terminal by inviting private bids within 45 days and selecting one operator within four months. The port agency lacks authorization to hire staff and prefers a single private operator to run the small container terminal with two cranes and three berths, expanding capacity by up to 600,000 tons annually.

Gasoline-Saving Oil Drill Ad Claims Big Savings
