Washington Post: "Ivy League economist ethnically profiled, interrogated for doing math on American Airlines flight" By Catherine Rampell May 7, 2016
Washington Post: "Ivy League economist ethnically profiled,
interrogated for doing math on American Airlines flight" By Catherine Rampell

Guido Menzio, an economics professor at the University of
Pennsylvania.
[I used to be a flight attendant. Dealing with passengers’
racism is part of the job.]
On Thursday evening, a 40-year-old man — with dark, curly
hair, olive skin and an exotic foreign accent — boarded a plane. It was a
regional jet making a short, uneventful hop from Philadelphia to nearby
Syracuse.
[…]
Finally the pilot came by, and approached the real culprit
behind the delay: that darkly-complected foreign man. He was now escorted off
the plane, too, and taken to meet some sort of agent, though he wasn’t entirely
sure of the agent’s affiliation, he would later say.
[…]
Menzio showed the authorities his calculations and was
allowed to return to his seat, he told me by email. He said the pilot seemed
embarrassed. Soon after, the flight finally took off, more than two hours after
its scheduled departure time for what would be just a 41-minute trip in the
air, according to flight-tracking data.
[…]
Menzio for his part says he was “treated respectfully
throughout,” though he remains baffled and frustrated by a “broken system that
does not collect information efficiently.” He is troubled by the ignorance of
his fellow passenger, as well as “A security protocol that is too rigid–in the
sense that once the whistle is blown everything stops without checks–and relies
on the input of people who may be completely clueless.”
[…]
In this true parable of 2016 I see another worrisome lesson,
albeit one also possibly relevant to Trump’s appeal: That in America today, the
only thing more terrifying than foreigners is…math.
It is a lengthy well-written piece – Read much more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/rampage/wp/2016/05/07/ivy-league-economist-interrogated-for-doing-math-on-american-airlines-flight/

The story behind the Sacramento Rte 50 Ocean City signs
The story behind the Sacramento Rte 50 Ocean City signs https://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-story-behind-sacramento-rte-50.html
Two Coasts, Two Cities, Two Signs: The Story Behind The ‘Ocean City MD 3073’ Sign - Melody Stone, Friday, May 6, 2016 | Sacramento, CA http://www.capradio.org/72367
Motorists traveling on 50 East in Sacramento may be familiar
with this perfectly normal-looking mileage sign — on first glance, it’s like
every other mileage sign along California highways listing the cities you’ll be
passing with the number of miles to go.
But on second glance, this sign gives pause — Placerville is
about an hour away, and South Lake Tahoe double that, depending on traffic. But
why does far-off Ocean City, Maryland merit a mention?
The simple fact is that US 50 paves 3,000-plus miles from
Ocean City, Maryland to Sacramento, California, but there’s more to the story.
In the 1980s John R. Cropper, Jr. worked as the head of
statewide highway maintenance for Caltrans. Cropper, now 92, was the man who
instigated the sign listing Ocean City, MD as 3073 down the road.

CEDAR KEY, Fla. (AP) — A search continues for a Maryland man
whose boat capsized in the Gulf of Mexico off Cedar Key, Florida.
The Gainesville Sun (http://bit.ly/1sO0nAX)
reports that Gilbert Valdes was on a 23-foot boat with his brother and another
man when they capsized in a fast-approaching storm on Friday. All three were
wearing life jackets.
On Saturday, U.S. Coast Guard crews found 50-year-old
Garrick Valdes of Locust Grove, Virginia, and Bruce Smith of Alachua, Florida.
They had managed to remain with the boat, but Gilbert Valdes could not.
The Coast Guard handed leadership of the search to the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which is keeping up the
search with help from the Levy County Sheriff's Office.

The Hill: Washington Metro one of five national infrastructure emergencies
The Hill: Washington Metro one of five national
infrastructure emergencies
Five infrastructure emergencies
By Melanie Zanona - 05/16/16 06:00 AM EDT http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/279878-five-big-infrastructure-emergencies
Advocates for investing in the nation’s infrastructure are
hesitant to single out certain projects as deserving priority over others,
arguing that sustained funding and attention is needed equally across the
board.
But there are some crumbling structures threatening both the
economy and public safety that are just too urgent not to point out.
Here are five transportation projects around the country
that experts believe are in dire need of repair.
[…]
Washington’s Metrorail system
The transit system of the nation’s capital, once hailed as a
crown jewel in public transportation, has become a symbol of Washington
dysfunction.
Metrorail has been plagued by a string of high-profile safety
lapses and reports of mismanagement, including a deadly accident in 2015 in
which smoke from a tunnel fire filled a stalled train car and killed one
passenger.
Another similar smoke incident earlier this year led to an
unprecedented shutdown of the entire subway system for emergency inspections
and immediate repairs.
New leadership has been charged with the herculean task of
overhauling Metro, which is the second busiest transit system in the country
and is used by a large share of the federal workforce. The agency is rolling
out a massive, yearlong rehabilitation plan that is expected to involve partial
shutdowns and major service disruptions.
But some Metro officials say more federal money is needed
for its operating budget, adding that a dedicated regional funding stream is
crucial for long-term maintenance and safety.
“You have to help us, otherwise we can’t survive,” Board
Chairman Jack Evans told a House panel last month.
It gets worse, read more here: http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/279878-five-big-infrastructure-emergencies

Daily Record: Mosby defeats Bernstein in Baltimore
prosecutor’s primary
By: Daily Record
Staff June 25, 2014 http://thedailyrecord.com/2014/06/25/mosby-defeats-bernstein-in-baltimore-prosecutors-primary/
Marilyn J. Mosby pulled off an upset win against incumbent
Gregg L. Bernstein in the Democratic primary for Baltimore City State’s
Attorney.
Bernstein conceded defeat late Tuesday night when unofficial
results showed him trailing Mosby significantly. Early Wednesday morning,
results from all precincts showed that Mosby won by 55 percent to 45 percent.
Mosby, an assistant state’s attorney from 2005 to 2012, has
been a litigator for Liberty Mutual Insurance since leaving the prosecutor’s
office.
Mosby, 34, told The
Daily Record in May that the “traditional approach to crime fighting
in Baltimore has failed” and that one of her first priorities would be join
forces with the Baltimore Police Department “to effectively manage and target
the violent repeat offender list.” She also vowed to improve the office’s
relationship with the community, saying he had created a “culture of mistrust.”

Jon Kelvey Carroll County Times: Nonprofit Center celebrates
10 years of incubating social good http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-nonprofit-center-20160519-story.html
Incubators may be en vogue in the entrepreneurial tech world
of Silicon Valley today, but when it comes to incubating nonprofits and
building social capital, Westminster has been a leader since 2006, the year the
Carroll County Nonprofit Center was born.
On Wednesday afternoon, more than 100 people filled a large
conference room at the center's Clifton Boulevard location to celebrate a
decade of its providing low cost, no rent homes for nonprofit organizations
focused on helping the people of Carroll County.
"We've taken a lot of nonprofits from basements of
churches, shopping centers, out of their homes," said Nonprofit Center
Director Mark Krider in an interview. "This gives them stability, it gives
them an address, it gives them a place to volunteer. People don't want to
volunteer in somebody's home, or a basement of a church."
Standing at the podium Wednesday, Krider ran down some of
the impressive statistics associated with 10 years of giving nonprofits a home:
more than 55,000 families helped by agencies housed in the center; more than
148,251 volunteer hours served, a $3.9 million value; and 34 different agencies
housed at one time or another. Current tenants include Habitat for Humanity;
the Marriage and Relationship Education Center; and Head Start/Catholic
Charities, which, Krider noted, has enrolled almost 2,000 children since
becoming one of the first tenants in 2006.

Who Pays the Highest Property Taxes?
DAILY REAL ESTATE NEWS | THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2016
The average median property tax rate across the nation is 1.31 percent. That means a home owner with a home valued at $200,000, on average, pays an annual amount of $2,620 in property taxes, according to an analysis by CoreLogic’s data team.
Illinois has the highest median property tax rate at 2.67 percent. Hawaii, on the other hand, has the lowest at 0.31 percent.

“While higher median tax rates are seen primarily among states in the northeast, a notable exception is Texas, which has a median property tax rate of 2.17 percent,” CoreLogic reports. “Typically, the states with the highest property tax rates, with the exception of Illinois, have multiple levels of tax collection. Conversely, the majority of states with low median tax rates have a single level of collection at the county level. Other than Hawaii, the lowest median property tax rates are primarily in the Rocky Mountain region and southeastern states.”

Baltimore Sun: Freddie Gray case: Baltimore Police Officer Edward Nero found not guilty of all charges
Baltimore Sun: Freddie Gray case: Baltimore Police Officer Edward Nero
found not guilty of all charges
May 23, 2016 http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/freddie-gray/bs-md-ci-nero-verdict-20160521-story.html
Officer Edward Nero found not guilty on all four charges
related to the arrest and death of Freddie Gray.
Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams on Monday acquitted Officer Edward Nero of all
counts for his role in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray.
The judgment, following a five-day bench trial, is the first
in the closely-watched case. Nero, 30, faced four misdemeanor charges of
second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in
office.
Prosecutors had argued that Nero committed an assault by
detaining Gray without justification, while the reckless endangerment charge
related to Nero's role in putting Gray into an arrest wagon without buckling a
seat belt. In closing arguments Thursday, Williams had skeptically questioned
prosecutors about their theory of assault, which legal experts said was
unprecedented.
Nero leaned forward after the verdict was read, and wiped
his eyes. He hugged his attorneys.
Billy Murphy, the attorney for the Gray family, commended
Williams for not bowing to public pressure.
Williams "stood tall and did what he believed was
just" while "very careful" to make clear findings specific to
Nero case," Murphy said. "He had a job to do and he did it."
Nero, a former New Jersey volunteer firefighter who joined
the Baltimore Police Department in 2012, is one of three officers who were on
bike patrol when they chased and arrested Gray in West Baltimore.
