• Gaithersburg is getting a new mayor — on one condition (thebanner.com) — Gaithersburg leaders have tapped council member Lisa Henderson to become mayor if current Mayor Jud Ashman wins a Montgomery County Council seat, triggering a November resignation and a council appointment to fill her vacated seat. The story details the finalist list, key decision dates, and how this process mirrors a past Gaithersburg transition, then shifts to countywide fire-safety reforms and an upcoming candidate forum in nearby Silver Spring.
• Maryland Man Facing Federal Indictment for Role in COVID-19 Healthcare Fraud Scheme Totaling More Than $100M (justice.gov) — A Gaithersburg-based company, Tiero LLC, is at the center of a federal indictment alleging more than $100 million in fraudulent COVID-19 test billings, with over $50 million paid out. Prosecutors say the Rockville CEO used a Gaithersburg lab license to bill insurers for at-home tests shipped nationwide. If convicted, he faces lengthy prison time on multiple healthcare fraud and money-laundering counts.
