Baltimore Ravens Opt Out of Training Camp at McDaniel College
As Patch reported earlier, the Ravens contract with McDaniel expired after last year's training camp and a new contract was never announced. This summer, the Baltimore Ravens will end a 15-year tradition of holding training camp at McDaniel, opting to stay at their permanent facility in Owings Mills because of the NFL lockout. Read the local reaction on Westminster Patch.

Walgreens Drops Insurance Plan as State Considers Picking it Up
Customers who enrolled in Express Scripts, Inc. won’t be covered at Walgreens Pharmacy next year in a move that could have implications for state workers in Maryland. To find out how and when you may be affected check out Ellicott City Patch.

Thousands of Elkridge Residents, Still Without Curbside Recycling
In June 2007, Waste Management announced that it had opened in Elkridge the largest single-stream recycling facility in the nation. Four years later, some residents living within miles of the Recycle America plant on Kit Kat Road still don't have curbside recycling services. The irony of the situation can be reviewed, reused and recycled on Elkridge Patch.

Philip Klein - Fair Tax group has less money than in 2007, but plans "huge" grassroots presence at Ames straw poll
Back in 2007, the large presence of “Fair Tax” supporters at the Ames Straw poll played a big role in Mike Huckabee’s surprisingly strong second place finish, which in turn helped propel him to victory in the actual caucuses months later. This year, the group Fair Tax.org will be working with less money, according to a representative of the group, but still plans to have a “huge presence” at the straw poll by leveraging its network of grassroots supporters.
