Clinton urges White House on NAFTA side agreements
The White House argues side agreements address concerns claiming NAFTA will boost U S exports and create high wage jobs while protecting workers and the environment. Anne Luzzatto said the pact would form the world’s largest free trade zone linking the three nations and a 360 million consumer market. side pacts would set three nation commissions to enforce environmental and labor laws with penalties like tariffs for noncompliance. Canada objects noting insufficient remedies. Sierra Club’s Michael McCloskey calls the side agreement form over substance.

County funds shift as mileage figures raise state share
Frederick County gains about 1.4 percent in state highway funds to nearly 86 percent with Walkersville at 1 percent and Frederick City down 2.2 percent to 8.3 percent. Last year county funds totaled 274000 dollars for shared municipal use. Budget planners examine whether to revise the pay as you go policy, which currently targets 8 percent of general revenues for capital projects, a level not reached in four years. Planning Director Jim Shaw notes that pay as you go may need lowering to a realistic starting point for the capital improvements budget.

County Fears County Pays for State Bypass Road
County officials reject a plan to bypass state legislature and let the county or private firms fund routes. Options include a truck only gravel road at 1.3 to 2.3 million, a transfer of right of way for maintenance by a company, or a full 5.5 million bypass. Commissioner Yingling calls the move a political football risking county costs.
