GOP to push jobs program in lame duck session
Republican leaders in Congress press a jobs program as a top priority for the lame duck session starting Nov 29 while they acknowledge limited support to advance the tax cut date. They expect a highway repair plan funded by a 5 cent gas tax to create about 320000 jobs, with debate over broader nondefense cuts and defense spending and tax cut timing.

New Leaders Elected as Humane Society Replaces Top Officials
Frederick County Humane Society voters ousted most of the old guard in a biennial election on Thursday night. David A. Evans, a Rockville manager, will lead the group for two years starting January, as the society continues to run the county animal control center. The vote, about 65 members, rejected the nominees and kept only two of eight directors. Evans cited problems including membership declines and cooperation with veterinarians as reasons for change.

City grants right of way for co op access in annexation talks
Frederick City officials approved a right of way for access to the Carmera Cooperative Association Inc. FCA plans extend Walser Drive across city property in exchange for a water main across FCA land.

The group also moved the annexation boundary to exclude Braddock Heights along the 600 foot elevation contour, citing potential I-79 interchanges.

Williams warns against hasty Lake Linganore action
Commissioner Mary G. Williams criticized four colleagues for trying to rush a Lake Linganore water and sewer deal through the lame duck board. She noted a closed meeting Monday November 15 where Galen R. Clagett moved to draft a contract to buy the plants by a date if conditions are met, a motion she said passed 4 to 1 with her in the minority. She argued many questions remain and drafting contracts is premature.
