New York Times: 2 Top Economists Differ Sharply on Risk of Deflation
August 5, 2010
When the latest unemployment figures are announced on Friday, all of Wall Street will be watching. But for Richard Berner of Morgan Stanley and Jan Hatzius of Goldman Sachs, the results will be more than just another marker in an avalanche of data.
Instead, the numbers will be a clue as to which of the two economists is right about where the American economy is headed. Their sharp disagreement over that question adds yet another twist to the fierce rivalry between the firms, Wall Street’s version of the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox… http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/06/business/economy/06deflation.html?src=un&feedurl=http://json8.nytimes.com/pages/business/economy/index.jsonp

Frederick News-Post editorial: Politicians' tightrope
Originally published August 15, 2010

Any member of Congress is faced with a dilemma in this age of outrage against government spending.
On the one hand, to be seen as effective, to assure his or her constituency that he or she is doing something, money needs to flow back into the district from federal coffers.
Roads and bridges need to be built, interstates mended, businesses boosted, jobs created.
On the other hand, our lawmakers mustn't be seen to be too greedy; in fact, they must eschew government spending, take a stand against it. In extreme cases, they must reject it altogether.
It's a tightrope walk for most politicians, a delicate dance between conflicting poles.
[…]
We can see both sides of this equation, and it was pointed out rather sharply in reporter Meg Tully's Political Notes column on Friday.
Andrew Duck, a Democrat running in District 6, fired a salvo at U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett after he saw

Investigative Voice: LIES & LIARS? — Bernstein & Jessamy battle for the hearts & minds of the electorate
LIES & LIARS? — Bernstein & Jessamy battle for the hearts & minds of the electorateSunday, 15 August 2010 21:24What was gained? What was lost?
---------- ---------- ----------
Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld, top left, and city State's Attorney candidate Gregg Bernstein, above, were both called liars this past week by incumbent top prosecutor Pat Jessamy. (I.V. File Photos/A.F. James MacArthur & Stephen Janis)
IN CAMPAIGN FOR CITY STATE’S ATTORNEY,
THE INCUMBENT PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS I am tough; I am smart; I am truthful (whereas) he continues to lie.— Patricia C. Jessamy DID THE CHALLENGER & THE COMMISH SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT? Or was it Jessamy who did that to herself? PRACTICALLY A HOUSEHOLD WORD
By Alan Z. Forman As the city state’s attorney repeatedly attacked her primary-election challenger for allegedly continuing “to lie” about her record, and the police commissioner who supports him removed two lawn signs within hours of the chief prosecutor’s call for an “independent fact finder” to determine at taxpayer expense whether the top cop had lied about a phone call, local news outlets began reporting at week’s end that the Baltimore political establishment was rallying “around Jessamy.”
But was this truly the case? and even if it was, does it really matter?
The implication of a headline in the Thursday editions of the Baltimore Sun — “Bealefeld removes campaign signs as political establishment rallies around Jessamy”— and the reports from other local media that followed was that challenger Gregg Bernstein and Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld had grossly miscalculated by posting lawn signs in the commissioner’s Southwest Baltimore yard touting the top cop’s support of the upstart challenger, whose name hardly anyone in the city even knew.

Carroll County Times editorial: Industrial growth is elusive
Carroll County Times editorial: Industrial growth is elusive
Monday, August 9, 2010
Editorial |
The heavy tax burden of homeowners and need for additional industrial development is an ongoing concern that comes up every election season, but while candidates and those in office recognize the problem and pledge to fix it, little progress has been for decades.
The reasons for the lack of change are many, but ultimately it comes down to the lack of a long-range vision and a specific plan for achieving that vision's objective.
Eighty-five percent of the property taxes brought in to the county come from residential development. The contribution from industrial development is just 10 percent… http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/article_fa0ea2f4-a15f-11df-9b23-001cc4c03286.html

CLOSED CLASH — Black police organization to host debate between city state’s attorney candidates
WILL BE OPEN TO MEDIA ONLY, NOT TO THE PUBLIC
The fight for Baltimore's top prosecutor’s job will shift into high gear next week, when the
city’s minority police organization hosts a debate between incumbent Patricia Jessamy and her opponent Gregg Bernstein.The Vanguard Justice Society, which represents minority officers in the Baltimore Police Department, has scheduled a debate between the two contenders for Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Mt. Washington Conference Center in Northwest Baltimore.
Newly elected Vanguard Justice Society President Kenneth Butler said the organization scheduled the debate to give both its membership and the public a chance to hear both candidates’ views on fighting crime in the city.
RACE HAS BEEN HEATED
“We know this has been a heated race, so we thought it would be worthwhile," he said. "I want our members to hear both sides and from both candidates.”
The debate will not be open to the public, Butler said. However, local news media have been invited to attend.
The race for city state’s attorney has gone from moribund to heated in the past two weeks. On Thursday the two held a heated debate on radio station WYPR-FM.
