ANNAPOLIS - Booze could be the next industry targeted for a tax increase, if one legislator has her way. Senate Bill 232, sponsored by Senator Jennie M. Forehand of Montgomery County, calls for significant increases in the taxes retailers pay for alcoholic beverages in Maryland. The bill calls for, 'Increasing the state tax rates for alcoholic beverages in Maryland from $1.50 to $4.50 per gallon for distilled spirits, from 40 cents to $1.20 per gallon for wine, from 9 cents to 54 cents per...READ MORE

Thoughts From The Publisher's Desk

Some people will get a chance to relive the disturbing slaying and dismemberment of Martha Crutchley and Joshua Ford at the hands of Erika and Benjamin Sifrit this weekend. The investigation and the case in general will be featured on the Oxygen Network's show 'Snapped,' which details cases of females accused of murder that seemingly flew off the handle and killed for no reason at all. This would be an interesting episode to watch, but the bad news is Comcast subscribers do not get the Oxygen...READ MORE

Cell Phone Ban Could Have A Familiar Fate

The proposed ban on handheld cell phones while driving in Maryland has followed an eerily familiar path as some other measures recently approved by the Maryland General Assembly. The bill essentially expands the current prohibition of hand-held cell phones by drivers under the age of 18 who hold a learner's permit or provisional license to Marylanders of all ages. The legislation would add Maryland to a growing list of states already with the law on the books including New Jersey and New York....READ MORE

Voices From The Readers

Vehicle Wash Deal A Waste Of Funds Editor: Why should the town waste $60,000 on washing town cars when what the town should do is call the snow hill jail and have a fleet of nonviolent offenders brought in to wash vehicles six days a week? Who do you think washes state police cars through out the state? Lets let these people give back to the community. After all, where they will wash busses is next to the police station behind a fence and the non-violent offenders pose no danger to the public...READ MORE

Hand-Held Cell Phone Ban Considered By Legislators

OCEAN CITY - Driving while text messaging and talking on cell phones may be the norm for many Maryland motorists, but a recently proposed Senate bill that opts to ban the use of hand-held cell phones while driving could bring that habit to a screeching halt, that is if it is passed. Senator Michael G.

Council Okay Slight Height Change For Condo Project

OCEAN CITY - The Gateway Grand condominium project gained approval for a six-foot height change to its parking garage this week, a minor change that will not affect the overall height of the building, but one that warranted an air of caution among the Mayor and Council.

Council Okay With One Scope Franchise

Currently, the town has contracts...READ MORE

County On Own With Old Septic Tanks, State Says

SNOW HILL - The State of Maryland will not help Worcester County replace old septic tanks with new pollution reducing technology, the County Commissioners learned recently, despite the great reduction in nitrogen contamination from the enhanced septic systems. Maryland state housing rehabilitation money cannot be used to buy the better, more expensive systems because neither the county nor the state code require the nutrient management technology. Property owners are merely required to have a...READ MORE

Future Planning, Money Drive Berlin's Sewer Capacity Request

BERLIN - Growth planning and money matters make it necessary for Berlin to ask for more wastewater capacity, according to town officials, despite the Worcester County Commissioners' vote to restrict the town's wastewater capacity late last month. 'I don't want to go back two years from now and upgrade again. That's what scares me,' Berlin Mayor Tom Cardinale said. 'We need to plan 10 to 20 years down the road, not two or three.' Berlin Councilwoman Paula Lynch told the County Commissioners...READ MORE

BERLIN - Twenty million dollars has been dedicated to the next phase of the Route 113 dualization and to more planning funds for Route 589 improvements in the state's consolidated transportation plan, showing that the highest levels of Maryland government have not forgotten Worcester's highways.

"Getting to the Bottom of All The Analysis"

The only thing I find more annoying than eight months of constant jibber jabber about the political 'race' in this country is watching the two weeks of sports coverage before the Super Bowl. How much analysis does one person need to get ready to watch a football game? Furthermore, how much analysis does one need to decide whom to vote for, or to help you decide whether or not you should buy stock in Bob Evans? Apparently, the folks at ESPN think that you need to have every possible scenario of...READ MORE
