English walnut tree named big tree champion in Maryland backyard
A couple in Maryland claim ownership of a large English walnut tree listed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources as a big tree champion. The tree measures about 125 feet in circumference at the base, 90 feet tall, and spreads 96 feet at the lipio tip. Officials think it was likely planted in the late 18th century, noting English walnuts do not grow wild in Maryland. The runner up reportedly measures 10.11 feet around and 50 feet tall.

Fed workers may lose free parking plan eyed by House panel
Federal workers could pay market rate for parking to fund mass transit subsidies, a proposal discussed by a House subcommittee. GAO cites Washington rates from 65 to 165 dollars a month, with DOT charging 28 dollars solo and 11 dollars for carpoolers. Critics call the plan unfair, while proponents say it creates equity and incentives for transit. A second hearing is set for September 30 as Congress debates reauthorizing transit subsidies.
