I'll admit, it's much harder to write leads under 20 words rather than 30 words when given a whole load of important information! I tried very hard to get these leads as short as possible.
1.) My lead: BALTIMORE-- Mayor Sabrina Datolli's husband was injured in a three vehicle accident Thursday afternoon.
Next sentence: His car was struck broadside by a pickup truck and then was pushed into the path of another vehicle at the intersection of Warren and Davidson avenues.
2.) Lead: City council members dicussed creating a local board overseeing the downtown historic district's building constructions.
Next paragraph: Council members Sandra Gandolf and Alice Cyeler addressed the matter to the city's planning and zoning commission at the regular monthly meeting. However, they wondered whether or not it was legally possible and if they could muster enough votes to support their desire for implementing the changes.
3.) WASHINGTON-- The Senate's approval of a nuclear waste storage plan will allow safe storage for over 77,000 tons of radioactive waste, the head of the Department of Energy said. (30 words)
