Affordable housing plan voted down in Walkersville
Walkersville town commissioners rejected an affordable housing amendment to the planning and zoning rules. The measure, backed earlier by Frederick County Housing Trust, would allow developers to donate up to five percent of land for an affordable housing plan while permitting the same home counts on smaller lots. Officials called the amendment too open and questioned land control, construction responsibility, and neighborhood compatibility. Commissioner Joseph Caha criticized voting for a law not restrictive enough.

Two Professors See Shifts in 1996 Campaign Landscape
Dr. McKnight and Dr. Towle discuss how books and party dynamics shape the 1996 race. They note the 1980 and 1984 elections show economy and party strength influence outcomes, with Perot as a barometer rather than a decisive mover. Clinton’s lead may erode if late switches occur.
