CRIME NEWS

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Montgomery County Council held a public hearing Tuesday in Rockville on a bill to ban the sale of running bamboo and require that new construction landscaping include at least 50% native plants—environmentalists say the measure will help curb this aggressive, invasive species. Some speakers warned that the law could cause hardship for property owners—county committees will hold work sessions before scheduling a full council vote.  MoCo360
  • Gov. Wes Moore met with lawmakers to discuss a bill for a reparations study commission but later vetoed it, saying that now is the time for direct action instead of another study. Lawmakers say they will work to override the veto while his aides deny claims of a secret alternative plan & stress that the decision avoids potential unknown costs for taxpayers.  WTOP
  • Montgomery County council approved a bill that lets builders add duplexes, triplexes, townhouses and apartments near transit corridors, major roads and town centers—aiming to boost affordable housing for local workers.
