Republican legislators angry at failure to release gambling data

House Minority Leader Tony O’Donnell speaks during special session.

By Len Lazarick

Len@MarylandReporter.com

Republican legislators are riled up that data they asked for months ago on the proposed expansion of gambling has still not been handed over to them by the Department of Legislative Services.

Since June, Del. Susan Krebs and House Minority Leader Tony O’Donnell have asked for all the information supplied by PricewaterhouseCoopers that was used by legislative analysts to recommend a sixth casino in Prince George’s County.

But all the GOP leaders have gotten so far is a copy of a $61,730 bill from Pricewaterhouse showing charges of $448 an hour to $793 an hour, and some correspondence explaining the working relationship between the consultants and the Legislative Services staff. Other documents and emails are being reviewed by Assistant Attorney General Bonnie Kirkland, who said she could release some of the documents “soon.”

“I’ve never gotten a formal response from any of the formal inquiries that I’ve made,” O’Donnell said. “They just ignore you.” O’Donnell wrote to House of Delegates Speaker Michael Busch on Aug. 13 and again on Oct. 17, asking for the material.

Consultant’s data called proprietary … http://marylandreporter.com/2012/10/29/republican-legislators-angry-at-failure-to-release-gambling-data/

English as the official language proposed in Carroll County MD

“English Only” Up in Carroll County by Kevin E. Dayhoff October 24, 2012

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5414

In Carroll County, a hearing is scheduled in New Windsor on October 30 to gather public input on a proposed ordinance, similar to the one passed by Frederick County officials in February to designate English as the official language of the county.

In Frederick County, the proposal passed by a vote of 4-1 and, according to the Associated Press, “requires official actions of Frederick County to be taken only in English.”

Of course, nevermind that federal and state laws mandate that various government agencies offer assistance to non-English speakers.

If a predominant number of the members of the Frederick and Carroll County Boards of Commissioners were from the Democrat Party, Republicans would be screaming bloody-murder about such legislation being a waste of taxpayers’ time and money… Oh, well, nevermind, moving right along here…

Although the idea for such an ordinance in Carroll County has been discussed since last winter, or earlier, the proposal was introduced by the Board of Commissioners September 27.

The entire kerfuffle over “English only” piqued my curiosity since our area of the state has only spoken English for approximately 25 percent of our history… In our modern history, anecdotal accounts indicate that German was the predominant language in Carroll up to around the time of the Civil War, especially in the northern and western portions of the county.

My thoughts were immediately channeled into a column I wrote October 20 in The Baltimore Sun, “Strictly speaking, Carroll's predominant language was once German.”

“In October 1833, in the area we now know as Carroll County, a vote was taken as to whether or not we should form a new county in Maryland from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties.”

Much of the opposition to forming a new county came from the predominant German population in Taneytown, Manchester and Hampstead. “Some of those folks were not really sure they wanted to form a new county – especially with a minority that spoke English and owned slaves, and well, perhaps were not as well educated or cultured as the German population.

“There was a great deal of concern that the English speakers would never learn German – and thus would exploit the generosity of the German majority. Paying extra taxes to support the English speakers was also of great concern…

Ultimately, the October 1833 referendum was defeated.” … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5414

Please join us at Off Track Art on November 2, 2012 at 5:30 in the evening for a reception for our next guest artist, Stanley F. Gilmore, Jr.

Mr. Gilmore specializes in pen and ink drawings of various buildings and structures found in and around Carroll County. He enjoys this medium as it suits the character and structure of many historic buildings.

The drawings are all limited and numbered edition prints with each subject not just rendered in ink, but many are hand colored with watercolors as well. A few different subjects other than Carroll County scenes will be on exhibit and for sale as well.

In addition, Mr. Gilmore has also illustrated two children’s books for Old Line Publishing, found at Old Line Publishing.com, Amazon.com, and Barnes & Noble.com.

One book is “The Little Match Girl,” by Hans Christian Anderson, and the other is “The Birth of Christ,” as found in the gospel of Luke. These two books will be available for purchase and signing at the opening of his art show on November 2, 2012.

Mr. Gilmore is now a retired art teacher who taught elementary, middle school, and high school art for 38 years in various schools in the county.

He is presently teaching art at the Carroll Lutheran School K - 8, one day a week, and varied drawing classes in the evenings at the Carroll Community College in their Continuing Education Program.

He is a graduate of The Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in Art Education, 1970, and Towson University with a MS degree in Instructional Technology, 2000.

“Off Track Art” is an artists’ collective and gallery located in the historic Liberty Building at 11 Liberty Street – next to the railroad tracks, off of the Sentinel parking lot at the corner of West Main St and MD 27-Liberty St - in downtown Westminster, Maryland.

For almost 4-years, the ten partners in the coop have been dedicated to advancing the arts in Westminster as well as the careers, ideas, and artistic visions of its members.

The coop partners include, Kevin Dayhoff, Gail Elwell, Linda Van Hart, Judy Goodyear, Charlotte Laslo, Amanda Beck Mauck, Joyce Schaum, Carolyn Seabolt, Robert Waddell, and Gordon Wickes.

After discussions and organizational meetings in December 2008, Off Track opened its doors in January 2009 and had its grand opening on Feb. 13th, 2009.

Off Track Art’s hours are: Wednesday through Friday, 12 – 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m to 5 p.m.

Our opening reception for Mr. Gilmore is scheduled for November 2, 2012, 5:30 to 7:30 pm. For more information go to: www.offtrackart.com

In October 1833, in the area we now know as Carroll County, a vote was taken as to whether or not we should form a new county in Maryland from portions of Baltimore and Frederick counties.

A bill authorizing the vote passed the General Assembly on March 2, 1833, according to "Carroll County Maryland, A History 1837-1976," by Nancy Warner, and "Advocates of the new county sprang into action" to help promote the vote.

They formed committees to write pamphlets containing arguments advocating a vote in favor of a new county. Several of my ancestors, the Warfields were members of this committee.

Some of the pamphlets were even printed in English — a special consideration, since the predominant language in Carroll County at the time was German.

Most young conservatives do not give a rat’s behind about the “English only” or the gay marriage thing. Those who were born between 1981 and 1999, the Millennials, [http://www.reporternews.com/news/2012/oct/14/dale-mcfeatters-millennials-the-cheapest/?partner=RSS] are now living at home with their parents after being away for years at college.

They are facing unsustainably high education debt, with the economy in turmoil, high unemployment, a dismal economic future and diminished prospects for the American dream of owning a home. The Millennials are collectively and totally bewildered by the prurient preoccupation of older Republicans in who people sleep with and what language they speak… in the face of an economic Armageddon…

Thanks again for reading the column and Explore Carroll.

As always, your thoughtful consideration is appreciated regardless of the outcome on any particular issue. Whether we agree or disagree, always find my door open for friendly civil and constructive dialogue.

http://www.thetentacle.com/author.cfm?MyAuthor=41 Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5389

Recently, political science professor Dr. Herb Smith, the McDaniel College director of government relations, brought together a distinguished panel at the college in Westminster for a local “Dialogue on the Presidential Election.”

Just as early voting has begun in many states, and the date of the traditional fall general election is within weeks, now is the time that our country turns to the podium and stage for the debate edition of presidential reality theatre.

Many have been surprised that the Republican presidential challenger, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, did as well as he did during the first presidential debate in Denver on October 3.

Writing for The Slatest, Josh Voorhees penned on Monday, “Was Romney's Debate Win the Most Convincing in History? It Looks That Way.” According to Mr. Voorhees, “Gallup's latest survey shows just how overwhelmingly the American public thought Mr. Romney bested President Obama onstage in Denver last Wednesday: 72 percent of debate watchers gave the win to the GOP challenger with only 20 percent seeing the president as the winner. That 52-point gap was the largest the polling outfit has ever seen, topping even Bill Clinton's 42-point margin over George H. W. Bush in 1992…”

For those who missed the debate, it is also a great read. The transcript of “President Obama and Mitt Romney’s remarks at the first presidential debate …,” has been published by The Washington Post.

For a concise and insightful commentary on the debate by TheTentacle.com writer, former Maryland State Del. Rick Weldon, read, “A Slam-Dunk Election Snapshot.” “Employing language familiar to basketball fans, the first presidential debate of the 2012 election cycle resulted in a slam dunk for former Massachusetts Gov.

Obama: Debate prep for round two ‘going great’

By Ben Geman The Hill - 10/14/12 http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/261949-obama-debate-prep-is-going-great

President Obama on Sunday said his preparation for the next debate with GOP challenger Mitt Romney is proceeding nicely.

“It is going great” Obama told a reporter after he brought pizza to workers at a Williamsburg, Va. campaign office, according to a pool report.

Obama arrived at a resort in Williamsburg Saturday afternoon for three days of debate preparation as the campaign seeks to prevent another sub-par showing against Romney.

Obama was widely seen as losing badly in his Oct. 3 debate against Mitt Romney, a battle that preceded a boost in Romney’s poll numbers.

But campaign advisers said viewers should expect a more aggressive, energetic performance from the president when Obama and Romney meet for their second debate Tuesday in Hempstead, New York… http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/261949-obama-debate-prep-is-going-great
