GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ A Maryland veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan died days after visiting urgent care for strep throat, and doctors did not ask about his military service which might have revealed a treatable heart condition. His death led to Maryland passing a law that requires healthcare providers to ask if patients have served — a measure driven by local lawmakers and his widow to help prevent similar losses. WTOP
- ➤ Montgomery County officials alert residents that federal tax credits for electric vehicles will end earlier than expected under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed on July 4. Buyers must take delivery by September 30 to receive up to $7,500 for new EVs and $4,000 for used ones — the credit for EV charging equipment will be available until June 30. The MoCo Show
