Senate Defeat Shifts Power Over Bush Tax Plan
The Senate faced a major shift as Jeffords defected from the GOP to join the Democrats, blocking Bushs tax plan changes. The move affects committee chairmanships, Supreme Court appointments, and Senate control, with Lott blamed due to past leadership tensions. Jeffords signaled displeasure over White House outreach and education funding proposals, while voting with the majority on the tax relief measure.

Housing Plan Aims To Mix Public Housing With Homeownership
The Frederick housing authority targets at least two sites including Willowdale Drive and Baughman Lane for 18 units. Executive Director Teresa Justice Lyke says many families may move to owned homes or transfer within public housing. About 30 of 135 families may leave, 30 more moved to other communities, and 50 could receive Section 8 vouchers, with some vouchers used toward buying homes. Elderly and disabled residents will shift to senior cottages near Seventh Street. Community advocates warn finding Section 8 housing remains a hurdle due to scarce rental options and landlord hesitancy toward vouchers.
