Maryland DOT faces budget cuts delaying highway projects
The fiscal 1980-85 DOT capital budget drops to 2.522 billion, delaying Md 15 dualization near Western Maryland Railway to Orndorff Road by six to nine months and postponing the Monrovia bypass until after 1985. Federal funding rises to cover 25 percent of Md 15, with mass transit costs surging for Baltimore and Washington systems.

Hess's Hess Hess? Hess's Blue Law sale case in Carroll County
The county sheriff's department filed a case alleging a violation of the law at Hess's and obtained criminal summonses against three Hess's employees including Store Manager Scott Ratarsky and Assistant Manager Richard DePaolo. A court date was not set, and a state attorney review is planned. The Blue Law is under Maryland attorney general review after a petition from the Carroll County State's Attorney. Some merchants oppose Sunday openings while others support them, with local shop owner Bentelstacher calling Sunday openness "very good" and Ellsworth McGaha predicting eventual acceptance.
