Frederick County Revisits Water Rate Hike and Conservation
Frederick County Commissioners revisited the June water and sewer rate increase to assess conservation impacts. The new rates raise the average residential bill by about 1.76 percent per quarter, with a minimum service charge for use under 10,000 gallons. Commissioner Reeder urged a tiered structure to reward conservation while preserving revenue. Additional actions include seeking a compost site at Eyler Road Park and approving a Reichs Ford Landfill overflow area for yard waste composting.

Schaefer defends Bush endorsement amid Democratic backlash
Annapolis AP Gov William Donald Schaefer said party hacks led a failed bid to censure him for backing President Bush reelection. The state Democratic Central Committee narrowly rejected stripping him of honorary title as titular party leader. A separate reprimand measure failed to reach vote as party units urged unity. He dismissed critics at a Monday news conference, saying the effort made no difference to him and he lost no friends or supporters.
