City managers from Greenbelt and neighboring towns are pushing back, citing rising ALS and BLS response times that now often exceed the county's eight-minute goal and requesting restored, stable 24/7 staffing.
   

• Bedford-Dillow Named Editor Of the Greenbelt News Review (greenbeltnewsreview.com) — Greenbelt residents will see a familiar face leading their hometown paper, as longtime managing editor Anna Bedford-Dillow has been unanimously appointed editor of the Greenbelt News Review. She's credited with expanding coverage of county schools, firefighter staffing, and federal agencies whose decisions affect Greenbelters, while retiring editor Mary Lou Williamson stays on as editor emerita to support the transition.
