City and county merge special events office to boost efficiency
Frederick city moves to fold the Office of Special Events and Volunteerism into the Tourism Council of Frederick County to gain planning resources and reduce politics. The change, approved in a Wednesday work session, keeps city event oversight with mayoral input while funding remains at 79 283 annually for two years. The plan aims to depoliticize events like In the Street and expand event management capacity.

Braddock Water rate hike faces public resistance
Residents urged the state Public Service Commission to force Braddock Water Co to sell its business amid a proposed 43 percent rate increase. They cited poor water quality and low pressure while owner David Yinger, an ex-attorney jailed for embezzlement, defended the plan as necessary to fund improvements and offset costs.
