Referendum drive gathers signatures on Maryland gay rights bill
In Frederick County activists push a petition drive to suspend Maryland gay rights law. About 10,000 signatures collected toward a May 31 goal of 15,376 with 46,128 by June 27. Churches and groups like the Family Protection Lobby join volunteers led by Robert Tansey to canvas congregations and supporters. Local officials caution the effort faces long odds against a November 2002 referendum outcome.

Dickerson power plant may get new expansion
Mirant Corp has filed an application to expand the Dickerson power plant with two gas fired turbines and a steam driven second pair, adding about 740 megawatts to the grid. The plan uses waste heat to generate extra electricity and would involve cooling from the Potomac River. Public hearings will be held by the commission to hear public opinions on the project.
