Senators Mathias and Beall announced an FAA grant to Frederick to acquire 25 acres for a Runway 19 clear zone. The project funds two thirds of master growth planning, with Maryland DOT conducting a statewide airport study to guide expansion and facilities. The move aligns with Fort Detrick growth, new industries, and improved access near Baltimore and Washington.

Outmoded Post Of Sheriff Provokes Calls For Reform
In Frederick County the sheriff loses an appeal on embezzlement and malfeasance convictions and won’t seek reelection. His wife plans to run, claiming she can perform duties like serving papers and running the jail. Baltimore County filled a vacancy with a 55-year-old trailer park operator lacking law enforcement experience, tied to a state senator. Baltimore City’s former sheriff faces grand jury indictment for embezzlement extortion bribery and malfeasance. The city sheriff’s duties center on delivering summonses and warrants, not jail management. The piece argues Maryland should create a state commission to study the sheriff role and push for constitutional changes to place sheriff duties under stricter court control.
