Sykesville station stake tests railroad patience
The estate of Hood's Mill offers a land swap near the tracks if the railroad gives Sykesville the station. Mayor Helt touts town support of about 2,000 residents and a petition drive to preserve the landmark amid years of soot and noise from coal trains. The railroad has reportedly said the station is not for sale but will respond to formal requests.

Kelley Announces Candidacy Amid Allegations of Favoritism
Frederick planning meeting notes show Kelley accusing local government of favoring big business and fueling political bias while praising park development and snow removal. He criticizes rising assessments despite a steady tax rate and seeks to preserve Frederick's reputed, traditional character for his family with two young children. He holds a construction management degree from Catholic University and prefers to announce late to avoid early campaigning.
