Frederick County Omits High-Risk Libertytown Intersection Plan
Maryland plans to spend about 145 million dollars on seven major and 18 smaller road and bridge projects in Frederick County over six years plus a new Motor Vehicle Administration office by 1989 and a Brunswick train station parking expansion. The Md 26 and Md 75 crossroads in Libertytown, rated the region’s highest accident site with five crashes in 1986 and nine in 1985, were left off the list despite prior backing for a bypass. State officials cited prior top priorities but hinted the Libertytown project could be reconsidered after review and lobbying.

Reid argues the United States will accept 2,500 Cuban "undesirables" back from Cuba under a renewed migration pact with Fidel Castro, warning this repeats the Mariel fiasco and will worsen U.S. social strain. He cites Cubans in Florida, crime rates, prison riots, Radio Marti, and U.S. immigration burdens, urging selective immigration and better aid to native-born Americans.
