Sheila Dixon would be more credible if she was competing for ratings with Honey Boo-Boo or The Real Housewives of whatever. Is Baltimore so desperate for national attention that someone of her ilk has to be trotted out once again to run for mayor ("Dixon plans decision on return to politics," March 27)? Should Ms. Dixon be somehow re-elected to office, it will at least keep furriers and makers of Jimmy Choo shoes busy. B.

Days after the Obama administration threatened widespread furloughs of government employees, one of Maryland's largest federal agencies, the Social Security Administration, said it might shoulder across-the-board spending cuts without sending any of its full-time employees home. And the federal funding cuts that U.S. education officials say would have the most immediate impact on public schools nationwide would trim only about $440,000 from Maryland districts - less than 1 percent of the combined operating budgets of the systems that receive it. After weeks of dire warnings about the economic impact of the $85 billion in cuts known as the sequester, the White House and Democrats in Congress now face another pressing task: Convincing the public that the alarms they sounded were justified and the pain they cautioned against is real - or will be. The time to make that case is short.
