If House Bill 1071 is signed into law, police would no longer be able to use the odor of marijuana as probable cause to search some ones car.... ...One person staunchly against is Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis.

Carozza tells 47ABC that the Rhode Island project has already gone back to ratepayers, asking for 31 million dollars more to fix issues like lines being washed ashore, a fate she hopes to avoid for Ocean City....'
