Getty in red earns bipartisan praise

Gov. Larry Hogan swore in his chief legislative officer, Joe Getty, to the Court of Appeals at the State House Monday, with a big heaping of bipartisan praise. Getty brings an unusual range of experience to Maryland's highest court, having served as a Republican delegate and senator from Carroll County and chief legislative officer to both Hogan and Gov. Bob Ehrlich, in addition to his private law practice. He offers "an invaluable and unique perspective," said Hogan.

GETTY SWORN IN AS JUDGE: Joseph M. Getty, who has served in two branches of Maryland government, joined the third branch of state government Monday when he was sworn in as a judge on Maryland's highest court, writes Ovetta Wiggins in the Post.

Gov. Larry Hogan said Getty, 64, is smart, fair, reasoned, logical and has a great sense of history, writes Heather Cobun for the Daily Record. "I have the utmost confidence that he will continue to serve the state of Maryland with great honor and distinction," Hogan said.

Getty, donning his new red robes, gained bipartisan praise, Len Lazarick writes in MarylandReporter.com.

Getty sworn-in to Md. Court of Appeals

Joseph Getty was sworn in Monday morning in the House of Delegates chamber in the Maryland State House in Annapolis to represent the 3rd Appellate Judicial Circuit on the state's highest court.

Getty, a Manchester resident and former Republican state senator representing Carroll County, had most recently served as Republican Gov. Larry Hogan's chief legislative officer. He was appointed to the Maryland Court of Appeals on June 1 to fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Lynne Battaglia.

Friends, family, former and current judges, and members of the General Assembly filled the legislative chamber to witness Hogan administer the oath of office for Getty to become the fifth judge from Carroll County to sit on the Court of Appeals since 1867.

Many speakers at the ceremony mentioned that Getty also made history by having served in all three branches of Maryland government — the legislative, executive branches and now the judiciary. It was a point not missed by local historian, Jay Graybeal, the former executive director of the Historical Society of Carroll County; a position also held by Getty from 1987 to 1994.

Md high court finds ground-rent law unconstitutional By Timothy B. Wheeler and Jamie Smith Hopkins Baltimore Sun Feb 26, 2014

Md. high court finds ground-rent law unconstitutional

State can't take away ability to seize and sell homes over unpaid ground rents, court rules

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2014/03/md-high-court-finds-ground-rent-law.html

By Timothy B. Wheeler and Jamie Smith Hopkins, The Baltimore Sun February 26, 2014 http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-ground-rent-court-decision-20140226,0,2243306.story

Maryland's highest court tossed out Wednesday the heart of an ambitious legislative effort to stop homeowners from losing their property over unpaid rent on the ground beneath their houses.

The Court of Appeals ruled that the law violated the rights of "ground-rent" owners by taking away their ability to seize and sell the homes of tenants who don't pay, then keep the proceeds. Allowing owners to bring foreclosure proceedings instead was not a reasonable substitute, the court said.

The decision throws into doubt sweeping 2007 changes to a Colonial-era system under which many homes in Baltimore and around the state sit on ground that is owned by a leaseholder. Homeowners on those properties are legally required to pay rent, usually twice a year, to the holder of the ground rent.

EVENTS - Joe Getty for State Senate District 5

EVENTS - Joe Getty for State Senate District 5
Getty for Senate 2010
May 3, 2010

Taneytown Republican Women's Club: Joe Getty will be the speaker at the May meeting of the Taneytown Republican Women's Club. The topic of his presentation will be "Republican Challenges and Opportunities in the 2010 Election." The meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 4th at the Taneytown American Legion Hall, 9 Broad Street, Taneytown, Maryland. The public is invited.

Republican National Committee - 2010 GOP Redistricting Conference - "Mapping the GOP's Future"

One of the major responsibilities of the Governor that we elected in November will be to create the new legislative districts in the decienial redistricting process in Maryland.

This past weekend, I attended a conference about legislative redistricting sponsored by the Republican National Committee. The conference is held once every 10 years in preparation for the Census results to be released for drawing new legislative districts for State Senate, House of Delegates and Congress.

The illustration below is an 1812 cartoon drawn by Gilbert Stuart that depicts the Massachusetts district drawn for Elbridge Gerry to squash the competition from the opposing Federalist Party. The salamander shape of the district led to the coining of the phrase "gerrymander."

In 2002, I was one of the Petitioners to challenge the redistricting plan created by then-Governor Parris Glendening. I opposed the odd configuration of the Senate and House districts in Western Maryland, especially the splitting of the community of Hampstead in half. I also argued in the Court of Appeals that the shifting of the Washington County the prison population in Senate District 3 was gerrymandering for partisan purposes.

The Court of Appeals agreed with my arguments and with Petitioners from other parts of the state who opposed the plan for its inherent favoritism for Democrat incumbents in the state. The Court threw out the Glendening plan and redesigned the districts in July 2002.

In Maryland, we need to make sure that the 2012 Maryland redistricting plan is fair, strictly follows the law, and is totally devoid of partisan gerrymandering.

Authority: Marylanders for Joe Getty, Sharon Prajzner, Treasurer.
