"Concerns are everywhere," said Del. Frank Turner, chairman of the House Ways and Means subcommittee on Gaming Law and Regulation.
A bill authorizing gambling expansion in Maryland will likely be amended, according to the chairman of the House subcommittee that is holding hearings on the legislation. Del.

When asked what concerns his committee might have, Turner suggested the changes might be more substantive. "I think there are concerns everywhere," Turner said.

The Montgomery County Council has approved a request for state funding for school construction of over half the state's estimated budget.

Students, staff are happy to be back in the neighborhood in new, energy-efficient building.
The Carderock Springs Elementary community is settling back into the neighborhood in style in a bright, airy and environmentally sensitive new school building. The new Carderock Springs Elementary School opened its doors at the beginning of the school year after a $22 million renovation. Students and staff are enjoying the new building on Persimmon Tree Lane.
