Landfill hour plan stalled by Maryland state review
Frederick County officials and Frederick mayor Ron Young pressed for quicker landfill hours under a new state secretary of environment. The plan to start trash collection earlier would cut nights, speed routes, and save money, but a state rejection stalled the change amid public complaints of stray garbage and ongoing political theater. The Department of Health handed landfills to the Environment department, with Secretary Martin Walsh urging local agreement and a review of all options. A November 10 governor visit looms as officials seek a resolution and new load-cover regulations take effect.

Senate textile bill would cost American jobs
Syndicated columnist Donald Lambro argues against S. 549 the Textile and Apparel Trade Act of 1987, saying it would raise consumer prices, shrink supplies, and trigger job losses across retail shipping and related sectors while failing to aid the domestic textile industry which is already thriving. The piece asserts higher tariffs would provoke retaliation and violate trade agreements, harming the broader economy.
