Know your ballot: The five constitutional questions facing Maryland voters this election year

Although the Maryland gubernatorial election remains the major focus in the Nov. 8 general election, voters also have a say on five constitutional amendments on the ballot. Although the Maryland gubernatorial election remains the major focus in the Nov. 8 general election, voters also have a say on five constitutional amendments on the ballot. For each question on the ballot, voters will fill in an oval indicating they are “for the constitutional amendment” or “against the constitutional amendment.” The voters’ decisions are final and cannot be vetoed by the governor. Under the proposed constitutional amendment, defendants would have the right to demand a jury trial if the amount in dispute is more than $25,000. The monetary threshold was last increased to the current $15,000 in 2010, when 66% of voters approved a constitutional amendment.

14-year-old Jalyn Hall shares his approach to playing Emmett Till in new movie

Jalyn Hall talks with WTOP about a new film chronicling the story of Emmett Till — a 14-year-old Black boy who was abducted and lynched. Her quest for justice is chronicled in the new film “Till,” which opens nationwide on Friday. “It was told to me as a cautionary tale, a means to prevent something like that from ever happening to me, but I can’t put my finger on what age it was,” 14-year-old actor Jalyn Hall told WTOP. “This gives you a very lively representation of their relationship together; the joy and love that they shared,” said Hall, who portrays Till in the film. We get to see the very instance that inspired a lot of figures who created change in the community.

Congress set to rescind COVID-19 vaccine mandate for troops

It also requires the defense secretary to rescind the COVID-19 vaccination mandate. Asked about the matter over the weekend, Austin told reporters he still supports the vaccine for U.S. troops. Service members who are not vaccinated are not allowed to deploy, particularly sailors or Marines on ships. More than 8,000 active-duty service members were discharged for failure to obey a lawful order when they refused the vaccine. The defense bill will support up to about $858 billion in spending.
