Delegates Andrew Serafini and Delegate Justin Ready have been picked to fill vacated seats in Maryland

State Senate GOP Welcomes New Senators Serafini and Ready

Two sitting delegates sworn in to replace departing Hogan appointees Shank and Getty

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2015/02/delegates-andrew-serafini-and-delegate.html

In a statement released on Facebook by Delegate – now-Senator Justin Ready, “Today, Gov. Larry Hogan appointed me to fill the District 5 Senate seat vacated by Sen. Getty. I'll be sworn in in the Senate chamber at 7:00. What an amazing, humbling honor to be able to serve Carroll County in this new capacity. I'll have more on this later but wanted to thank everyone who has supported me in the past. I'm excited to keep working to make Maryland family, retiree, and business friendly again.”

According to the Senate Minority Office, Delegates Andrew Serafini and Delegate Justin Ready have been picked to fill seats vacated by Hogan/Rutherford administration appointments:

ANNAPOLIS, MD (February 2, 2015) – In front of friends, family, and colleagues on the floor of the Senate chamber this evening, Delegate Andrew Serafini (R – Washington County) and Delegate Justin Ready (R – Carroll County) were sworn in to fill the Senate seats left vacant by the departure of former Senators Chris Shank and Joe Getty for the Hogan/Rutherford administration.

Senate Minority Leader J.B. Jennings (R – Harford and Baltimore Counties) lauded the appointments of the two new Senators, saying, “If there’s a legislator out there right now with a better understanding of the budget process than Delegate Serafini, I haven’t met them. He has spent the better part of two terms as one of the chief fiscal minds for the House Republicans, so I think all of us here in the Senate—Republicans and Democrats alike—are eager to see what he can accomplish on this side of the street.”

Senate Minority Whip Steve Hershey (R – Upper Shore) added, “Delegate Ready has in just one term made a name for himself as one of the most ardent advocates for conservative causes in the House of Delegates. I know that he will thrive as a Senator and that he will represent the people and interests of Carroll County well over the next four years. I look forward to working with both Senators Ready and Serafini as we strive to change Maryland for the better.”

Delegate Andrew Serafini was appointed to the House of Delegates by Governor Martin O’Malley in 2008 and has served on the House Ways and Means Committee since 2011. He has run his own financial services company out of Hagerstown since 1990.

Delegate Justin Ready was first elected to the House of Delegates in 2010 and has served on the House Health and Government Operations Committee since 2011. He previously spent two years as the executive director of the Maryland Republican Party and owns a small advertising, marketing, and printing firm.

A new build of Windows 10 preview is available for download, Microsoft announced Friday morning. Now the world (those who've signed up for the preview, that is) can sample what analysts and journalists previewed on Wednesday.

The build will download automatically for Windows Insiders overnight, or you can get it now by going to PC Settings > Update and recovery > Preview builds and clicking the Check Now button. If you need to start from the very beginning—in other words, you’ve never installed Windows 10 at all—check out our tutorial on how to install Windows 10 from scratch. You can also obtain the ISO for a clean install or virtual machine download here.

In his blog post, Microsoft’s Gabriel Aul warned that not everything Microsoft talked about earlier this week would be available.

“Some of the new features that Joe demoed on Wednesday will be available for our Windows Insiders starting today with our newest build – 9926,” Aul wrote. “However, not everything you saw on Wednesday is included in this new build. Much is still in-progress and we’re getting it out to you as fast as we can – so you can try it out and give us feedback. Over the course of the next few builds, you will see us refine Windows 10 and continue to improve the experiences as well as quality and stability.”

What Microsoft showed off in Redmond was Build 9924, which we played with as part of our preview. In a nutshell, here’s what you should expect in the new 9926 build: read more here - http://www.pcworld.com/article/2874800/microsofts-windows-10-build-9926-with-cortana-is-live-now.html#tk.nl_pcwbest

Carroll County Md Commissioners vote for legislative initiative to fill vacancies with special election

Carroll County Times article by Wiley Hayes: Late legislative initiative to limit central committee's responsibilities

By Wiley Hayes, Times Staff Writer January 30, 2015 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-commissioner-meeting-0129-20150129,0,5511869.story

The Carroll County Board of Commissioners will be submitting a late addition to their legislative package to take away the power of the Carroll County Republican Central Committee to select the replacement of a county commissioner in the event of an opening.

This legislation is in part due to the controversial decision by the committee to only recommend former Commissioner Robin Bartlett Frazier to replace Sen. Joe Getty. The Republican Central Committee has since reversed course and recommended three names to Gov. Larry Hogan for the seat.

The commissioners voted 3-2 on Thursday to send this legislation to the Carroll County delegation. Commissioners Stephen Wantz, R-District 1, and Richard Rothschild R-District 4, were the opposing votes.

Len Lazarick MarylandReporter.com: Delegates want voters to

fill vacancies in legislature, but GOP wants to keep party role

By Len Lazarick Len@MarylandReporter.com

Two freshman delegates from each party are working on
legislation to give voters a greater role in filling legislative seats that
become vacant.

At the same time, Republican Party officials are working on
ways to establish statewide party rules that will maintain the strong role of
party central committees in the process and avoid the special elections the
delegates are proposing.

The issue is a hot one in Annapolis as three counties must
fill seats held by senators and a delegate who have now become part of the
Hogan administration.

The Maryland Constitution gives the local party committees a
key role in selecting a replacement for senators and delegates from their own
party. But it does not specify a process for how they select a name to send to
the governor, who makes the final appointment.

The Republican Central Committees in Carroll, Frederick and
Washington counties all used different methods to select replacements for Sen.
Joe Getty, Del. Kelly Schulz and Sen. Chris Shank. Carroll had the most
secretive process, voting in closed meetings on names of applicants the
committee would not reveal.

Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015 Future looks bright for short-term delegate Cavey

Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2015/01/barry-rascovar-january-21-2015-future.html

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Columnist Barry Rascovar discusses Chris Cavey who recently “Cavey served as a Baltimore County delegate for just 16 days. Clearly, some explanation is in order…”

I have worked with Del. Cavey for many years and I have appreciated every moment of it. Del. Cavey is thoughtful, very bright, insightful, a strategic thinker and always seems to easily understand the context in we serve and see the bigger picture.

In an era when it is not good enough to be the best, Del. Cavey is nice.

And yes, many of us are looking forward to Cavey now “participating in the administrative side of things in Annapolis during Hogan's term as governor…”

At a time when reaching across the aisle and playing nice in order to move the ball forward; Del. Cavey is perfect for leadership in the Hogan administration in Annapolis.

Del. Cavey knows Maryland government and remembers when members of Maryland General Assembly may have disagreed upon various issues; but they always worked together harmoniously for the greater good of Maryland. Remember the name Cavey – it rhymes with civility.

WE are looking forward to many great things from Del. Cavey.

Please enjoy Mr. Rascovar’s column…

When the Maryland General Assembly kicked off its 90-day session a week ago, two members of the House of Delegates from Baltimore County were missing.

One of them is a familiar name to people living in rural parts of the county — Del. Wade Kach, a fixture in the Maryland State House for four decades. The retired teacher just kept getting reelected.

The other missing delegate is not nearly as familiar — Chris Cavey.

Cavey served as a Baltimore County delegate for just 16 days. Clearly, some explanation is in order.

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/publications/community_times/cct-future-looks-bright-for-shortterm-delegate-cavey-20150120,0,6073884.column

[…]

Kach did the smart thing and ran for Baltimore County Council instead.

His name recognition and reputation as a diligent, moderate conservative helped him defeat one-term incumbent GOP Councilman Todd Huff of Lutherville.

Kach then won easily in November with 68 percent of the vote.

He was sworn in as a councilman in early December, leaving a void in the county's legislative delegation. By law, the Republican Central Committee for the county gets to appoint a replacement, with the governor's consent.

Enter, Chris Cavey.

The former insurance agent has been a longtime field worker for Republican candidates. He served as chair of the Baltimore County Republican Party for seven years and as first vice-chair of the state Republican Party for 7 1/2 years.

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/publications/community_times/cct-future-looks-bright-for-shortterm-delegate-cavey-20150120,0,6073884.column

[…]

Hogan and Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford attended Cavey's swearing-in ceremony in the House chambers. The interim delegate's grandchildren held the Bible as he took the oath of office.

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/publications/community_times/cct-future-looks-bright-for-shortterm-delegate-cavey-20150120,0,6073884.column

Now that Chris Cavey's name has been entered in the legislative record book, he can turn to his next assignment — participating in the administrative side of things in Annapolis during Hogan's term as governor…

The Obama administration wants to dramatically change how doctors are paid - The Washington Post

The Obama administration wants to dramatically change how doctors are paid - The Washington Post:

By Jason Millman January 26

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/01/26/the-obama-administration-wants-to-dramatically-change-how-doctors-are-paid/

The Obama administration on Monday announced an ambitious goal to overhaul the way doctors are paid, tying their fees more closely to the quality of care rather than the quantity.

Rather than pay more money to Medicare doctors simply for every procedure they perform, the government will also evaluate whether patients are healthier, among other measures.

The goal is for half of all Medicare payments to be handled this way by 2018.

Monday’s announcement marks the administration’s biggest effort yet to shape how doctors are compensated across the health-care system. As the country's largest payer of health-care services, Medicare influences medical care generally, meaning the changes being initiated by the administration will likely be felt in doctor's offices and hospitals across the country.

Parasitic pipelines worm way through Earth

Burrowing beneath the skin of the Earth all across the United States, new oil and gas pipelines are erupting in a rash of environmental destruction. More than 20,000 miles of new pipelines were built between 1998 and 2008, and tens of thousands more are under construction or proposed. Extreme energy extraction through hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for shale gas and oil demands extreme infrastructure support. Leaving soil-bleeding scars as they excavate ever forward, these pipelines are subsidized by taxpayer dollars but designed for corporate profits.

TROOPERS ARREST THREE YOUTHS FOR SHOOTING AT VEHICLES ON I-95 IN CECIL CO.

Maryland State Police Press Release
01/26/2015 14:36

TROOPERS ARREST THREE YOUTHS FOR SHOOTING AT VEHICLES ON I-95 IN CECIL CO.

(ELKTON, MD) – Three juveniles, who are believed to have shared a BB rifle to shoot the windows of more than a dozen vehicles traveling on I-95 in Cecil Co., have been identified and charged by state troopers who apprehended them within minutes of the latest incident.

The three were charged late last night as juveniles and are identified only as males, ages 14, 15, and 16, from Elkton, Md. They are charged with reckless endangerment, malicious destruction of property, throwing/shooting an object at a vehicle, and trespassing. All three were released to the custody of parents, pending a juvenile hearing.

On January 16, 2015, Maryland State Police at the JFK Highway Barrack took their first recent report regarding a vehicle window damaged while traveling south on I-95 near Deaver Road, in Elkton. Other incidents occurred on the 23rd and 24th. Troopers began patrol checks in the area in an attempt to identify those responsible.

Shortly after 9:30 p.m. yesterday, a trooper was making a patrol check in the area when a victim called the barrack to report his window had just been shot out. The trooper contacted the victim while he was still on the phone with the barrack. Additional troopers were summoned to the area. A search led troopers to a home in the area. A vehicle leaving the home was stopped and three juveniles and an adult were contacted. One of the juveniles lived at the nearby home.

Further investigation led to the identification of all three juveniles in the car as those responsible for the shootings. Troopers recovered a BB rifle that belonged to one of the three at the nearby home where he lived.

At this time, the investigation indicates the three may have been responsible for shooting at and damaging the passenger side windows in 18 vehicles. The vehicles are all types, including cars, buses, and tractor trailers. The total cost of the damage to the vehicles is estimated to be at least $15,000.

Troopers found where the Maryland Transportation Authority fence that runs along the interstate had been cut, permitting access to the southbound lanes of I-95. They believe the three suspects set up near the interstate and aimed for the passenger windows of vehicles traveling southbound on I-95. The investigation indicates the three may have shot at 50 vehicles, striking 20 or more. The three took turns using the BB gun owned by one of the suspects to shoot at vehicles, usually during the hours between 7:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.

When the windows were struck by the projectile, some shattered, some cracked, and some sustained just a hole. Fortunately, no drivers reported any injury to themselves or their passengers. However, most reported being very frightened when their window was struck and shattered.

Troopers believe there may be additional victims. Anyone who sustained passenger window damage during January in the area of southbound I-95 and Deaver Road near Elkton, is urged to contact the Maryland State Police at 410-537-1150.

The Hogan/Rutherford Era Begins!

Dear Friend,

After a week filled with briefings concerning the rise in Medicaid costs and the status of health insurance in Maryland, the activity in the General Assembly will now ramp up into high gear following the historic inauguration of Maryland's 62^nd Governor, Larry Hogan and Lt. Governor, Boyd K. Rutherford.

My husband, Mark, joined me for the snowy Inauguration ceremonies on Wednesday and for the Gala that evening.

The Inauguration had a special significance for Carroll Countians. I was proud to help arrange for Carroll instructor, Lt. Col. Lee Mitchell, and his three daughters, to perform at the Pre-Inauguration Ceremony.

Read the great write up in the Carroll County Times.

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-mitchell-gubernatorial-inauguration-20150119,0,612883.story

Lt. Col. Mitchell, a former member of the Baltimore Opera, is a world-renown singer and is currently the senior Army Instructor of the JRROTC at Century High School.

He sang a heartwarming rendition of the "God Bless America" and "Impossible Dream," the signature song from the musical "Man of La Mancha." Three of Lt. Col. Mitchell's four daughters, Cierra, 29, Christen, 24, and Chelsea, 14, performed "America the Beautiful."

Having the Mitchell's perform at the Inauguration was one of the true highlights of the day.

Gov. Hogan Presents Budget

In one of his first actions in office, Governor Hogan proposed a common-sense budget that does not raise any taxes or fees. Maryland finally has a Governor who will actually stop spending more than he is taking in in revenue. Our focus will continue to be towards lowering taxes on Maryland's families and ensuring that our business climate is one that will allow our families to get back to work. Our Delegation will be working with Governor Hogan to assure that Carroll County receives its fair share of monies for our schools and infrastructure. You can listen to the budget presentation by clicking on the arrow.

Governor Hogan Announces FY 2016 Budget

The growth in Medicaid is the single largest pressure on the state budget and there is no end in sight. As a member of the Health and Government Operations Committee, in addition to briefings on the budget and Medicaid, we also heard reports from the Maryland Healthcare Commission on TeleHealth, the Patient Centered Medical Home Pilot Program, a report on MRI study of self-referrals, and a report on Health Insurance Assignment of Benefits & Re-imbursement of Non-Preferred Providers.

Delegate Susan Krebs with Governor Larry Hogan

at Joint Caucus luncheon, January 13, 2015.

Hogan Administration Seeks Green Bag Appointment

Governor Hogan is seeking candidates for Green Bag Appointments. These positions are civil officers that serve in a variety of capacities across the state, many are Boards and Commissions that may be of interest to you. But it is not enough to be qualified for the position, you must have a passion and want to serve your community. Most of the Boards and Commissions have slots for "Consumer Members" who have no direct relation to the profession it oversees. Give it a try, it may prove to be very interesting.

A full listing is available at www.hogantransition.com. Click on "Apply for a Job" and click on the drop-down menu for a full listing.

I am honored to still be serving Carroll County and the state of Maryland as the Delegate from District 5. I am particularly thrilled to have Larry Hogan as our new Governor.

Please feel free to contact me by replying to this e-mail or calling my Annapolis office at 410-841-3200.
