U.S. Attorney's Office Drops All Charges Against DC9 Employees
November 05, 2010 - Four employees and a co-owner of the Ninth Street, Northwest D.C. club were accused in last month's beating death of Ali Ahmed Mohammed. The U.S. Attorney's office says the decision to drop all charges was made after a detailed examination of the evidence gathered during the first three weeks of the investigation and a determination that they need more information before moving forward.

Van Hollen steps down as DCCC Chair
The Maryland congressman in charge of the House Democrats' campaign efforts is leaving that post just days after his party lost more than 60 seats to the Republicans. Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland told the Bill Press Show on Friday that two election cycles is enough as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He had signaled plans to leave the chairmanship even before Tuesday's election. Van Hollen had a good showing at the DCCC in the 2008 election cycle, when his party picked up more than 20 GOP-held seats, adding to their victories in 2006. But this year was a disaster for the Democrats. They will hand over the House majority to Republicans when the new Congress convenes in January.

17-year-old and a 14-year-old were charged with attempted murder
A 17-year-old and a 14-year-old were charged with attempted murder after police say they attacked a man in a Montgomery County parking lot, grabbed his cellphone, dragged him onto a second-floor landing at an apartment building, beat him and tried to throw him over a balcony that was 20 feet above concrete. A woman who came to the man's aid was punched and kicked by the teens before they ran from the scene, officials said Wednesday. Montgomery detectives are looking for a third suspect.
The attack occurred Oct. 23 in the 3300 block of Teagarden Circle, which is in the Briggs Chaney area about five miles north of the Capital Beltway. Detectives charged Shante Dion Gladden, 17, as an adult. He remained locked up in the Montgomery jail, an official there said Thursday. Gladden is charged with attempted second-degree murder, robbery, first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, and theft under $1,000, according to police. Detectives charged the second teenager, who lives in the District, as a juvenile, so his name was not released. He faces the same charges as Gladden. He was placed at the Alfred D. Noyes Children's Center in Rockville, police said. SOURCE: Washington Post

Cardin asks for federal investigation of robocalls
Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) has asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate anonymous robocalls placed to Maryland voters urging them to stay home on Election Day even though polls were still open.
"Targeting voters with deceptive messages in a deliberate attempt to suppress voter participation is well outside the limits of protected free speech," Cardin said in a statement. "We cannot continue to allow such intentional actions to be tolerated."
In the automated calls, a woman's voice told recipients: "I'm calling to let everyone know that Governor O'Malley and President Obama have been successful. Our goals have been met. The only thing left is to watch it on TV tonight. Congratulations and thank you."
On the night of the election, a spokesman for former governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) said his campaign had nothing to do with the ads and said he condemned their content. In addition to his letter to Holder, Cardin has requested that Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) hold a hearing on deceptive voter practices that occurred this election cycle in Maryland and elsewhere.

Police: Woman Fights Off Would-Be Silver Spring Rapist
SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA) -- A woman fought off a man trying to rape her Wednesday evening, police said. William Green, 24, of Silver Spring, approached the woman from behind and pushed her down a hill, just off of the Spring Street Bridge, police said. Green hit the woman, then threatened her with a bottle just before he told her he was going to rape her, police said. The victim then managed to grab the bottle away from Green, fight him off with it and get away, police said.
She ran down the street and flagged a person down who eventually called the police. Police say they found Green shortly afterward with cuts on his face and his head as a result of the struggle with the victim. Green is charged with attempted first-degree rape, attempted armed robbery, and first-degree assault. He is currently being held without bond at the Montgomery County Detention Center. SOURCE: WUSA

Vovak calls for Kane 'governor race' retraction, before 2050
According to the Baltimore Sun, Maryland Lt. Governor candidate Mary Kane believes Republicans will not win a Maryland governor race until 2050. Kane is the former Maryland Secretary of State and the wife of John Kane, who was Maryland Republican Chairman from 2002 to 2006.
"I don't know if we are going to see another [Republican governor of Maryland] in the next 40 years," said Mary Kane, his running mate. "It is a shame."
The quote appeared on November 3 within a story entitled "End of an era for Ehrlich, Maryland Republicans: State GOP leaders worry about permanent minority status."
Daniel Vovak, an at-large member of the Montgomery County Republican Party Central Committee was disappointed in the statement from Bob Ehrlich's right-hand pick. Vovak says, "There isn't a doubt in my mind that someday Bob Ehrlich is going to stand next to another Maryland governor and it will be long before he is 92, because new Republican leaders will emerge. Bob Ehrlich is an excellent politician but lost because he was supported in 2010 by a weak Maryland Republican Party. Even when the Baltimore Orioles finished dead last in 2009, the franchise didn't write-off future victories. Therefore, I ask that Mary Kane retracts her quote and apologizes before Doug Gansler thanks her by sending Kane a bouquet of roses."
Coconuts removed from trees in preparation for Barack Obama's India trip
Mr Obama will arrive in India on Saturday for the first leg of an Asian tour. But as well as the usual security measures that come with welcoming a a visiting dignitary, Indian authorities have decided to go one step further, by removing all natural threats to the president as well. All coconuts around the city's Gandhi museum, one of Mr Obama's stops in the city, are being taken down.
Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi stayed during his freedom struggle against the British, is among five places the US president is visiting in Mumbai.
"We told the authorities to remove the dry coconuts from trees near the building. Why take a chance?" Mani Bhavan's executive secretary, Meghshyam Ajgaonkar, told the BBC.
Last week American security officers inspected Mani Bhavan and its surroundings along with other places the president is likely to visit. Every year in India people are injured or even killed by falling coconuts. Mr Obama, still smarting from heavy losses in the midterm elections, will visit India, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan and China on the 10-day tour. SOURCE: Telegraph

Dems Hold Tight on Montgomery Offices; Ballot Measures Surprise
A “red” wave of historic proportions washed through the U.S. Congress, but Montgomery County was a placid pool of Democratic victories last night. As many had predicted, the winners of the September Democratic primary elections had no problem taking those seats. County Executive Ike Leggett handily won reelection, as did incumbent Councilmembers Phil Andrews, Roger Berliner, Valerie Ervin, and Nancy Navarro. Incumbent At-Large Councilmembers Marc Elrich, Nancy Floreen and George Leventhal won by 2-1. Newcomers Hans Reimer in an At-Large seat, and Craig Rice from District Two (upcounty) also easily won.
The love didn’t extend to ballot measures, however. One of the incumbents’ signature pushes was for ambulance fees, but with most returns in, that measure seems to be going down to defeat.
Another interesting ballot measure also confounded the pundits. Every 20 years, the Maryland Assembly has to ask the voters if they want to call a constitutional convention to address structural issues in Maryland government; that question was on yesterday’s ballot. I asked several of the candidates whether they supported the revision convention, and all said no. Some of the major newspapers also opposed the measure, arguing that it would bring out “crazies.” But in a surprise, the most recent returns show a strong vote in favor of the constitutional revision. Looks like the people have more faith in their legal drafters than the leaders do.
Speaking for myself, as I usually do here, I think this is a great development. Montgomery County already has a structural review commission underway; why shouldn’t Maryland? Florida’s recent constitutional convention, which restructured and strengthened that state’s historically-weak school funding programs, was an example of a successful effort; a few crazies came out, but guided by my friend and co-counsel, former Florida House Speaker and law school Dean Jon Mills, Florida looked past those and restructured several parts of its Constitution. (Disclosure: I am a constitutional lawyer, and have been involved with many constitutional initiatives and referenda over the last thirty years, including the effort to revise Florida’s school funding system.) We’ll have to see what happens next.

Ambulance fees rejected in Montgomery County
WASHINGTON - Voters in Montgomery County rejected ambulance fees. The referendum would have raised millions for the cash-strapped county.
"We're losing about $14 million, and we'll be looking to balance the budget accordingly," says Montgomery County Council President Nancy Floreen. Floreen says it's too early to say whether the Montgomery County Council will follow the guidance of Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett. Leggett has said the loss of the revenue from fees would cost at least 80 firefighters their jobs and take 11 ambulances out of service.
The county has a $12.5 million budget gap. The measure would have charged insurance companies between $300 and $800 for ambulance rides. Critics said it would have discouraged people from calling 911. SOURCE: WTOP
