The Office of the Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley: The Fact By Rick Abbruzzese, Director of Public Affairs


The Facts By Rick Abbruzzese, Director of Public Affairs http://www.governor.maryland.gov/blog/?p=6075

July 10th, 2012

A recent report by Change Maryland, a GOP-led, partisan organization, erroneously makes an outdated claim that the number of millionaire households in Maryland has decreased.  A quick look at the numbers reveals the facts:
FACT: Change Maryland is a GOP-led, partisan organization founded by a former Ehrlich appointee, failed congressional candidate and failed would-be candidate for Governor.
FACT: The number of millionaire households in Maryland has actually increased 19% during the O’Malley-Brown Administration, according to the non-partisan Phoenix Institute. Today, Maryland has the highest percentage of millionaire households in the United States, and our overall share of the United States’ millionaire residents has actually increased since 2006. Lastly, the balance between Virginia and Maryland remains statistically unchanged during that time.
FACT: Governor O’Malley inherited a $1.7 billion structural deficit from an Ehrlich Administration that increased spending by nearly 34% over 4 years.  In 2007, Governor O’Malley called a Special Session to resolve the inherited structural deficit through a balanced approach of unprecedented cuts to spending and yes, new revenues. The decisive actions taken during the 2007 Special Session – including $550 million in cuts and a penny’s increase on the sales tax – would have eliminated the structural deficit by Fiscal Year 2012 had our country not been plunged into recession by George W. Bush’s reckless spending and tax cuts that overwhelmingly favor the wealthy.
 FACT: According to the highly respected and non-partisan Federal Funds Information for States, Marylanders have the 3rd lowest state and local tax burden adjusting for income, ahead of only South Dakota and New Hampshire. And, according to the Tax Foundation, when you factor in all of Maryland’s sales tax exemptions, Marylanders pay the 9th lowest adjusted state and local sales taxes in the nation (including adjustments for zero local sales taxes and exemptions on services, gasoline, groceries and more).
Here’s a sales tax comparison with our neighboring states:
Lastly, the Tax Foundation also finds that Maryland has the 8th lowest tax burden on mature businesses, Ernst & Young ranks Maryland as having the 12th lowest tax burden on new investments, and Ernst & Young and COST indicate Maryland businesses pay the 2nd lowest combined state and local taxes as a share of total state and local tax revenue (only Connecticut is lower).
Here’s a corporate tax comparison to our neighboring states:

Police recover gun, charge Westminster man in shooting in Eldersburg that left one dead

Police recover gun, charge Westminster man in shooting in Eldersburg that left one dead

Restaurant owner: 'This isn't the kind of thing that happens around here'


The owner of the Harvest Inn in Eldersburg said Friday there was no warning — and in his mind, no precedent — for the early morning shooting that left one man dead and another injured, and turned the parking lot of his family restaurant and lounge into a homicide crime scene this morning.

"It's baffling to me," said Tony Trombetta, who has run the restaurant in the 2000 block of Liberty Road since 1993. "This isn't the kind of thing that happens around here."

David J. Garrett, 36, of Carmae Road, in Sykesville, died when he suffered multiple gunshot wounds in a confrontation on the parking lot of the Harvest Inn shortly after midnight, according to Maryland State Police.

A second man, Gary Hale, of Granite Road, in Woodstock, was shot in the arm during the incident and was transported toUniversity of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where police said Thursday he continues to recover.


At about 7 a.m., police arrested Jacob B. Bircher, 24, of Wimert Avenue, Westminster, in connection with the incident. Police said he surrendered after police contacted him by phone and met him in the parking lot of the Church of the Open Door, along Route 140 in Westminster.

Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle: The #art and culture of economic development part 1 http://tinyurl.com/825mo9r



Kevin E. Dayhoff Art Econ Benefits of Art,

The National Governors Association recently released a new report on the role that community arts, culture, and design play in job creation and economic growth.

The remarkably creative and thoughtful report, New Engines of Growth: Five Roles for Arts, Culture, and Design, was prepared by the group’s Center for Best Practices, in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies.

The 52-page report itself is an eye-catching and well-designed piece of artwork in its layout and design.

However, even more amazing is that, page-by-page, the report presents a compelling and persuasive case for encouraging community arts and cultural programs, businesses, shops and industry to create economy and jobs – in a manner surprisingly devoid of mind-numbing public policy wonk-speak.

The executive summary of the report states, in part … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5218

Generations have been touched by Frock's 4-H and church leadership By Kevin Dayhoff, May 3, 2012



Eagle Archive: Generations have been touched by Frock's 4-H and church leadership http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0506-20120502,0,7820360.story



Fourteen years ago — on April 12, 1998 — the Baltimore Sun carried an article about my neighbor and good friend, Kathryn Myers Frock, in which it was noted:

"The Westminster woman, who is believed to be the longest-serving 4-H volunteer in the country, was surprised recently to be honored for 58 years of volunteer service.

"Fifty-eight years? thought Frock. Why 58?

"'Maybe they don't think I'm going to be here for 60 years,' she said with a smile."

Well, Frock made it to 60 years. As a matter of fact, make that 74 years that she was a 4-H leader and volunteer fair judge.

That said, with Frock, it was not as much about the quantity of years, but the quality.

Westminster Eagle - Katie V. Jones: Kathryn Frock touts merits of 4-H life

Fair 'queen' touts merits of 4-H life 07/26/06 By Katie V. Jones

http://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v2.cfm?show=localnews&pnpID=978&NewsID=735396&CategoryID=17320&on=1



When Kathryn Frock joined 4-H in 1934, there were girl 4-H clubs and boy 4-H clubs. If you lived on a farm and worked with animals, however, you were allowed to belong to a "co-ed club."

In those days the fair was held in Taneytown, before moving to its current location behind the Agricultural Center in Westminster.

To build the buildings at the new site, the 4-H clubs raised money through various methods such as making moccasins and selling household "guidebooks."

At 89, Frock has more than 60 years of memories of being in 4-H, first as a member, then as a leader and currently as a judge… http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2006/08/westminster-eagle-katie-v-jones-kathryn.html

Accolades mark a life of volunteering Westminster woman lauded for 4-H service April 12, 1998 By Sheridan Lyons

Accolades mark a life of volunteering Westminster woman lauded for 4-H service



The Westminster woman who is believed to be the longest-serving 4-H volunteer in the country was surprised recently to be honored for 58 years of volunteer service.

Fifty-eight years? thought Kathryn Frock. Why 58?

"Maybe they don't think I'm going to be here for 60 years," she said with a smile last week.

If there were a grandmaster of homemaking, Frock, 80, would qualify: Her skills range from the "seven-day pickles" she puts up to the carefully centered daisy buttons on a dress she made in 1936 that swept 4-H Club local, state and national needlework honors.



[…]

"This woman is phenomenal," said Bob Shirley, Carroll County's recently retired extension agent for 4-H. "The amount of volunteer work she's still doing and the number of organizations she's giving support to. And she still is a very strong, active leader," he said.

City of Frederick Maryland Graffiti Ordinance Reminder

Graffiti Ordinance Reminder

Over the Fourth of July holiday, the Frederick Police Department received a number of complaints regarding "spray chalk" graffiti advertising a local beer festival. This graffiti was placed on sidewalks all over the downtown area. 
The recent heavy rains were not successful in washing the graffiti away, and DPW work crews are removing it. FPD is in contact with DPW in order to account for the costs of removal by the city and will request reimbursement from the responsible party.
FPD would like to take this opportunity to refer citizens and business owners to Frederick City Code 15-43, excerpted as follows:
"Graffiti Defined. As referred to herein, "graffiti" shall mean writings, drawings, inscriptions, figures or marks of paint, ink, chalk, dye or other similar substances on public or private buildings, structures, property or places which are not authorized or permitted under the city's codes and ordinances regulating signs. For the purposes of this section, graffiti shall include any form of drawings, writings, markings or inscriptions regardless of the content or the nature of materials used in the commission of the act, except as specifically exempted, as set forth herein.
Penalty—Perpetrator. Violation of subsection (c) of this section shall be declared to be a municipal infraction. Any person convicted of a violation of this section shall be punished by a fine not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) for a first offense, and five hundred dollars ($500.00) for a second and any subsequent offenses. Where a minor is found to have violated this section, the payment of any fine and court costs imposed by this section shall be the responsibility of such minor's parents or legal guardian.
Exemption. This section shall not be construed to prohibit temporary, easily removable chalk or other water soluble markings on public or private sidewalks, streets or other paved surfaces which are used in connection with traditional children's activities, such as drawing or bases for stickball, kickball, handball, hopscotch and the like, nor temporary, easily removable chalk or water soluble markings used in connection with any lawful business or public purpose, any approved public art project, or activity not otherwise prohibited by city code or ordinance."
Some business owners in the downtown area have occasionally applied sidewalk chalk immediately in front of their businesses to promote an event or daily special. These businesses are encouraged to request permission from the city before applying chalk to the city's sidewalks to ensure compliance with the ordinance.
The Frederick Police Department can and will continue to make arrests for malicious destruction of property under Maryland criminal law. In the present instance, while it is not believed there was any criminal intent, these unauthorized and prolific advertisements were a violation of city ordinance. 
To view the ordinance in its entirety, please refer to http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=16359.

Saturday, July 10, 2012, after a Tentacle writers’ breakfast at the Barbara Fritchie Restaurant in Frederick, my wife and I spent last Saturday bicycling from Brunswick to Harpers Ferry and back on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath.

We had dinner at “Beans in the Belfry” on West Potomac Street, in Brunswick, near the offices of my good friends, Mayor Carroll Jones and City Administrator Richard Weldon at the Brunswick City Hall.

Located in a 100 year-old restored historic church, Beans in the Belfry is an excellent of an artistic approach to adaptive re-use, and arts and culture as an economic driver and jobs creator.

We loved the ambiance and atmosphere of Beans in the Belfry. Our food was wonderful and the service friendly and welcoming.
