Maryland budget plan sparks debate on local aid cuts
Gov Schaefer seeks a $350 million state cut and $150 million from local aid this year to balance the budget. House Speaker Mitchell supports a $3130 million reduction while Senate leaders resist deep local cuts until state trimming is thorough. Economists forecast a $499 million current-fiscal-year deficit amid a statewide recession, with Schaefer cautioning lawmakers that the deficit could be real and urging protections for state jobs and people programs.

Gray calls for Adcock removal from planning commission
Gray reported at meetings that requests to remove Adcock have come in verbal and written forms. He said two letters demanding resignation were sent, Aug. 28 by certified mail and another delivered to Adcock's car business, with no response. If no resignation, a public hearing is needed to dismiss. County attorney Mathias noted grounds include inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance, and a hearing would precede any action. Adcock was appointed in 1990 and faces a 1995 term expiration with one potential renewal.
