Make A Decision

The scene: A conference room.The cast: Residents representing the neighborhoods around BWI Airport.The plot: Unknown. This play was acted without an audience.Itwasn't a dress rehearsal, either. This was the real thing. A committee was trying to make a recommendation to state aviation officials onwhether a flight path should be altered.In the scheme of things BWI, the recommendation by the Neighbors Committee was not monumental. The change being considered was minimal and there was no guarantee the airport would go along.

The County Commissioners were supposed to make a decision on Carroll's largest-ever rezoning case during a public meeting last week.They did indeed make their decision -- only it was made in between staff meetings two days before the now-canceled public session was supposed to take place and, on the advice of the county attorney, it won'tbe made public until Wednesday morning."
