1) Leadership -- When
two groups of citizens have different opinions on a subject do you feel that
elected leaders should take sides or should they work to reach a compromise?
In our
form of Government (representative republic), Elected Representatives serve the
people. We elect leaders whom we trust
will make decisions and votes based on our best interest. I believe that for important issues, true
leaders are responsible for researching facts and discussing the issue with ...

BRUNSWICK — Anyone in Brunswick who has taken a sidewalk for granted had better take a step back.
The City Council is conflicted about how to maintain sidewalks and get sidewalks built where they are missing, and who should pay for this work.
Settling those questions would suit Jennifer Knowles and Tota Schultz, two mothers who find walking with children around town difficult and hazardous.
Along Maple Avenue, an interrupted patchwork of sidewalk runs between downtown and the showpiece public ...

I would like to take a minute and say a few words about
Angel White, and why it is important, no, imperative, that she continue on as a
member of the Brunswick City Council. I was the vice chair of the Brunswick
Economic Commission, and as a member of that group was continuously looking for
ways to make Brunswick more attractive to business. I watched as Angel became
and stayed a solid voice of reason on the Council.
Nobody knows business like someone who is successful in
business, and Ange...

ANNAPOLIS — Senate lawmakers have folded more than $200,000 in bond funding for Frederick County projects into the state’s capital budget, including money for a family shelter in Frederick, a museum in Brunswick, and a historic art studio for Middletown.
Funding for these so-called “legislative initiative” bonds — smaller projects that are funded for localities by the state as opposed to the big amounts for construction of roads, bridges, schools — was in limbo after Gov. Larry Hog...

Petersville Rd (Rt 79). The original master plan calls for a pool, however, drastic
budget cuts have put the pool on hold. The director did tell me that they are still planning a placeholder in the master plan for the pool, so the park will be planned "as if" the pool will be built just might take a little long...
