Nuclear reactor planned for Aberdeen Proving Ground: What we know
A commercial nuclear reactor is coming to Aberdeen Proving Ground, and residents in surrounding communities want to know what that means for nuclear waste in their backyards. What we know: The U.S. Army has chosen a company called Ameresco to build and operate a power generation facility at Aberdeen Proving Ground, the military installation in Aberdeen. The project will include both a natural gas plant and an advanced nuclear reactor.

Third time’s the charm? Harford council pushes double-dip ban again
A Harford County Council member introduced a new, narrower version of a charter amendment Tuesday night that would limit who can serve on the County Council — the third attempt this year to change the rules around elected officials who also hold government jobs. What's happening: Council Member Aaron Penman introduced Bill 26-18, which would bar a sitting council member from holding another elected office, holding an appointed position in Maryland state government, Harford County government, or any Harford County municipality, or working as a county employee in an office directly controlled by the county executive or council.
