Sinkhole law tests Maryland quarries and geologists
A Maryland rule creates a zone of dewatering around limestone quarries where the owner is presumed liable for dry wells or sinkholes. Geologists at the Maryland Department of the Environment struggle to draw these zones across 18 quarries in four counties, amid disputes over karst terrain and water table declines. The measure could place millions in liability on quarries, which generate about $39 million in annual business and employ thousands.

Frederick students push back on county dress code proposal
Frederick County students critique a proposed dress code set to take effect January 2. While some back it, most interviewees say it limits personal expression, questions its impact on learning, and anticipates student pushback. The plan bans many items seen as concealment tools and offensive attire, offers parental discretion, and allows school leaders to take corrective action if clothing distracts or threatens safety.
