Maryland Senator Joe Getty: Pre-Session Events This Week
Marylanders for Joe Getty January 2, 2012
The 2012 Session of the Maryland General Assembly begins on
Wednesday, Jan. 11, with the opening session in the Senate Chamber commencing
at noon.
Many pre-session events will be occurring this coming week
and you are invited to participate.
Tomorrow (Jan. 3,) the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce
will host its annual legislative breakfast. Our local legislative delegation will
be discussing the many challenges and issues for the upcoming session. The
breakfast begins at 8 a.m. at the Best Western Conference Center (for
additional information, click here).
On Wednesday, Jan. 4, I will be hosting a "Town
Hall" meeting in Hampstead to outline the impact of redistricting at the
federal, state and local level. The meeting is open to the public and will be
held at 7 p.m. at J&P Pizza, 903 S. Main St., in Hampstead.
On Thursday morning, Jan. 5, I will be the featured speaker
at the Carroll County Ag-Business breakfast. This group meets monthly for an 8
a.m. breakfast at Baugher's Restaurant in Westminster.
I will also be speaking on Thursday afternoon to the section
chairs of the Maryland State Bar Association about the legislative process and
legal issues that will be prominent in the 2012 session.
With regard to state legislative redistricting, we will
learn on the first day of session exactly what the new districts for State
Senate and House of Delegates will look like. It is expected that Gov. O'Malley
will make few minor adjustments to the plan that was released last
month by the Governor's Redistricting Advisory Committee.
This new state legislative redistricting plan proposed major
changes to my district - State Senate District 5. On the negative side, I will
lose the northern portion of Baltimore County which I greatly enjoy
representing.
On the positive side, the district will be located entirely
within Carroll County thus restoring a full Senate district that existed under
Gov. William Donald Schaefer's redistricting plan in the 1990s but was removed
by Gov. Parris Glendening's 2002 redistricting map.
I look forward to my re-election campaign in the new
district and the opportunity to meet and represent a new constituency in the
State Senate. Obviously, I need to raise campaign funds now to introduce myself
to the citizens in the new district. If you would like to contribute to my
campaign prior to the beginning of the legislative session, please use the
"Donate" button on my website (click here) or mail your contribution to P.O. Box 437,
Hampstead, MD 21074. Your contribution must be received by Jan. 10 because
legislators are prohibited from accepting campaign contributions during the
90-day legislative session.
As always, I appreciate your past support and look forward
to working with you as we confront the many challenges that we face in
Maryland.
