Washington Monument to be illuminated again
Boonsboro residents form Friends of Washington Monument to relight the landmark on Alternate U.S. 40 after 15 years. A ceremony Saturday December 4 at 4 p.m. will feature State Comptroller Louis Goldstein and Rick Barton of the Department of Natural Resources. The monument, erected in 1827 by Revolutionary War veterans, had not been lit since 1978 due to vandalism and outdated equipment.

Frederick County to refund up to 70 million in bonds
Frederick County plans a refunding of up to 70 million in 30 year public facilities bonds from 1975 1984 1987 and 1990 to lower debt load and reduce interest costs. The move includes a potential 36 million refund through a closed bid process as rates around 5.3 percent make some issues uneconomical.
