Speeders, your grace period is coming to an end.

Speed cameras were installed on the Interstate 695 inner loop between the exits for US 1/Belair Road and Philadelphia Road earlier in the month.

The speed limit is 55 mph, according to Safe Zones, which operates the speed camera program in partnership with Maryland State Police, the State Highway Administration, and Maryland Transportation Authority.

Maryland’s interstate highways are clogged, and most residents in the state are trapped on those busy roads every day, giving us the dubious honor of second-most congested interstates in the country.

The new report by TRIP, a Washington, DC-based national transportation organization, says 75 percent of Maryland’s urban Interstate highways are congested during peak hours, the second-highest rate in the nation.

Maryland Reporter: Getty in red earns bipartisan praise

Maryland Reporter: Getty in red earns bipartisan praise

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

June 27, 2016 by Kevin Dayhoff

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/government/ph-cc-getty-swearing-in-20160627-story.html

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.

Getty, Esq., the chief legislative officer for the office of the Md. Gov. was sworn in to represent the 3rd Appellate Judicial Circuit on the state's highest court, the Md. Court of Appeals.

As Getty's extended family looked-on, his wife, Susan Getty, had to hold the large 1772 family Bible with both hands as the oath was administered. Afterwards she received a big kiss from the newly-minted judge; at which time a member of audience pondered with a stage whisper as to whether the kiss was congratulations for holding the Bible up that long or for her husband ascending to the highest judicial post in the state.

Westminster City Administrator Resigns
Marge Wolf Leaves a Legacy of Success after nearly Ten Years in Role

Westminster, MD – Marge Wolf, Administrator for the City of Westminster, has tendered her resignation effective July 31, 2016.
Since October 2006, the Baltimore-county native has managed the operations of the City, from Finance and Human Resources to Planning, Housing and Recreation and Parks. During this time, Wolf has transformed the administration of the County’s largest City.
Her accomplishments include:
• A balanced budget, garnering the City the coveted Budget Award from the Government Finance Officers Association for five years running;
• Acquisition of nearly $1 million in grant funding, benefiting nearly every aspect of the City from playgrounds and housing to buildings and community development;
• Oversight of numerous Downtown Westminster façade improvements, including the installation of handicapped ramps for universal access;
• Strong partnerships with local nonprofits, including the Arts Council, Historical Society, Human Services Programs and more;
• Refurbishing of City Hall to restore the building and grounds to its 19th Century grandeur with historical accuracy;
• Celebration of the City’s 250th “Sestercentennial” anniversary;
• Creation of strategic objectives for every department and committee, from housing and marketing to the Historic District and Tree Commission

Prior to her leadership in Westminster, Wolf was the Administrator for the City of Hyattsville and the Borough of Kennett Square and the Deputy Secretary for the Department of Housing & Community Development. “Marge brought a wealth of experience from her previous roles to our City, said Mayor Kevin Utz. “She pioneered this role for us, and she established a standard of excellence that will be hard to follow.”

Wolf will continue to work as Westminster’s City Administrator until July 31.

At the 57th Frederick Police Department Training Academy graduation ceremonies at the Weinberg Center in Frederick.

MarylandReporter.com: A new process for taking the politics out of ethics won support from the Frederick County Council

ETHICS IN FREDERICK: A new process for taking the politics out of ethics won support from the Frederick County Council on Tuesday, but some council members had critiques.The council voted 6-1 to affirm the confirmation of Chris Glass and Ernest Heller to the Frederick County Ethics Commission, the first nominees recommended through a five-person pilot committee that Democratic County Executive Jan Gardner empowered earlier this year, with the aim of creating a more independent ethics commission. The process found some allies on the council, Danielle Gaines of the Frederick News Post reports.

#Brexit, Current Events, History European, World Europe, World Europe Britain-England

This is what happens when a government feels that it can do whatever it pleases without consequence. This is what happens when governments turn a blind to the constituency it is supposed to serve. Someone smarter than me said it best, "the EU is too bureaucratic and exerts excessive control over its members...."

This what happens when a social-welfare system runs amok. In the EU, very few folks work so that they may pay for the benefits of too many that do not work... If the EU does not reform quickly, it will collapse under its own weight and follow the example of Venezuela.

LONDON —Britain was bracing at dawn Friday for a possible plunge into the unknown — an exit from the European Union — as results from a bitterly contested referendum showed a strong surge of votes to leave, against the will of the country’s political establishment.

As results poured in through Thursday night and into the early hours of Friday, the “remain” camp was increasingly despairing, while “leave” advocates expressed a growing confidence that their side had pulled off a shocking victory.

Results from much of the country had yet to be counted as of 4 a.m. local time. But areas that had reported results generally showed stronger-than-expected margins for those advocating a British exit — popularly known as Brexit.

Prayers for Officer Caesar Goodson, peace, Baltimore and sanity as we await the outcome of the third trial of the six Baltimore Police officers as a result of the death in April 2015.

Circuit Judge Barry Williams was expected to announce his verdict this morning at 10 a.m.

In an article published today by Luke Broadwater, he noted, “If Mosby's team fails to secure a conviction against Goodson, it's unlikely she will be successful against any of the other officers, several observers said.” Thursday, June 23, 2016
