Westminster City Discusses Budget Cuts

Westminster City Discusses Budget Cuts – September 18, 2009

WESTMINSTER CITY DISCUSSES BUDGET CUTS

Westminster, MD -“These are challenging financial times for municipal governments,” stated city of Westminster mayor, Kevin Utz. “We are two months into the 2009 fiscal year and are now faced with a reduction of over $800,000 in our state revenue projections. A bad financial picture just got worse.”

The State Board of Public Works approved a package of budget cuts last week that included a 90% reduction in Highway User Revenues to local jurisdictions. The City had budgeted $747,850 and will instead be receiving $74,785. In addition, they reduced the State Aid to Police funding from $392,040 to $254,826, a reduction of 35%.

“In a General Fund with $13Million in total revenues, this is a 6% cut. With a cut of this magnitude we are looking at a variety of options to bring our budget into balance,” continued Mayor Utz, “including eliminating services or programs, cancelling capital projects and equipment purchases, examining the take home vehicle program, freezing employee salaries and benefits—everything is on the table for discussion.

A hiring freeze has already been implemented and we do not expect to fill any vacant positions. No new projects or programs beyond those already funded will be implemented.

Unfortunately, we expect that further cuts will be needed after the revenues are projected again in December and FY2011 looks to be even bleaker. I will be working with state, county, and municipal government partners, as well as the Maryland Municipal League to seek solutions to this problem.”

For the past two fiscal years, the financial picture has been deteriorating for local governments, with reductions in revenues from the housing sector, transportation, and property tax assessments to substantial increases in utility costs, gasoline costs, and health care. Unfortunately, at the municipal level, government provides basic quality of life services—and when these services are reduced, citizens suffer.

To cope with the reduced revenues and increased costs, the City of Westminster instituted staff lay-offs, postponed the street repaving project and increased the employee share of health benefits in FY2009. Merit increases and cost of living adjustments were eliminated and a new health care plan and provider were implemented in the FY2010 budget. City of Westminster

We will continue to provide information on possible reductions as the Mayor and Council discuss the options and develop a plan to balance the budget. Updates will also be provided on the website www.westminstermd.gov.

Article on Buzz Aldrin in the Baltimore Brew

Baltimore Brew has posted a new item, 'Aldrin tells Baltimore audience his toughest mission came after he returned from the moon'

By FERN SHEN

He may have earned a PhD from MIT, had a lovable Pixar space ranger named after him, recorded a rap video with Snoop Dogg and had the dubious honor of being interviewed by Ali G but, really, large parts of Buzz Aldrin’s life after he walked on the moon in 1969 were pretty crummy, the astronaut-author told a rapt audience Saturday at the 2009 Baltimore Book Festival. If only selling Cadillacs in Beverly Hills (unsuccessfully) had been the worst of it....

MSP: TEEN DRIVER FOUND DEAD IN CRASH

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 28, 2009

TEEN DRIVER FOUND DEAD IN CRASH

(Towson, MD) - Maryland State Police are continuing their investigation into a single vehicle crash claiming the life of a teenager today.

The deceased is identified as Kwest T. Logan, 17, of the 200-block of Lord Byron Lane in Cockeysville, Maryland. At this time, police believe he was the only one in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Around 10:00 a.m. this morning, troopers from the Golden Ring Barracks responded to a report of a possible vehicle
buried in the woods off of the I-83 South exit ramp, which merges onto the outer loop of the beltway. The phone call came from a motorist in slow moving traffic, when he noticed light reflecting off of what appeared to be the chrome bumper of a car.

The preliminary investigation indicates Logan was driving a 1997 black Nissan Maxima on southbound I-83 when he took the exit for I-695 West and left the roadway. Investigators believe the vehicle drove deep into the woods
and hit a tree where it came to rest, about 75 feet off the roadway, causing the black car to be virtually invisible from the road. It is believed that Logan was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.

At about 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 27, 2009, Logan and the vehicle he was driving were reported as missing. The Baltimore County Police Department received the phone call from his mother.

The cause of death is under investigation and has not yet been determined. The body will be transported to the Office of the State’s Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy.

The left lane of the exit ramp merging from I-83 South onto I-695 West was closed at approximately 10:45 a.m. and will remain closed until approximately 1:45 p.m. today. Personnel from the Maryland State Police CRASH Team, State Highway Administration, Baltimore County Police Department and Texas Station #17 of the Baltimore County Fire Department responded to assist with the incident.

In case you missed all the recent over-hyped media coverage, forty years ago the weekend of peace, love, and revolution took place in the garden at Max Yasgur’s 600-acre farm in upstate New York.

Free Speech was great while it lasted
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Maryland’s Democrat U. S. Senator Ben Cardin got quite an earful at a town hall meeting Monday night in Towson on healthcare reform. Although I choose not to attend, according to many published accounts, those who did go soundly jeered and booed him throughout the evening.

Getting It Wrong in Honduras The Obama administration's position that removing Honduran President Zelaya "was some form of unconstitutional coup is a dangerous exaggeration," warns GARY SCHMITT.

The G-20 Trades in Its Credibility Based on history, expect little to come from the Group of 20 nations summit this past week, says PHILIP LEVY.

The Worst Economy Since...the 1980s? Despite media hype comparing the current economic crisis to the Great Depression, our present economy actually rates closer to the 1980s, writes MARK PERRY.

Netanyahu Lays It on the Line DANIELLE PLETKA highlights the Israeli prime minister's bold address to the UN.

Consumer Financial Protection: Vanilla or Mint? Good thing the administration dropped certain finance-reform mandates, NICK SCHULZ writes, because the market already achieves their goals.

Should Religious Leaders Trust President Obama’s Assurance on Abortion and Health Care Reform? It doesn't matter if abortion isn't explicitly covered under a healthcare reform bill: any such bill will likely lead to that coverage, argues JAY RICHARDS.
Datapoints

Increasing the Deficit While some have made claims of deficit neutrality during the healthcare debate, the public isn’t buying it. In the September ABC News/Washington Post poll, 65 percent said that healthcare reform would increase the federal budget deficit, 24 percent said reform would have no effect on it, and only 9 percent said reform would decrease the deficit. In a mid-September CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, 74 percent said if the president’s plan becomes law, it would increase the deficit, while 24 percent said this would not happen.

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted on http://www.explorecarroll.com/ 9/20/09 (Enlarge)

In a quaint small town in northern Carroll County, Silver Run, happens to be the home of one Carroll County’s elegant fine dining experiences, “Bud’s of Silver Run.” (For more about “Bud’s at Silver Run,” call them at 410-346-6816 or visit them at http://www.budsatsilverrun.com/.)

Silver Run is about eight miles north of Westminster and perhaps 20 miles south of Gettysburg, on Littlestown Pike. You will find it nestled perfectly in our county’s beautiful countryside. It is a little town that looks so pretty, you’d think that Disney or a movie production company built it.

However, it’s real. Apparently I’m not the only fan of Silver Run and Bud’s; it seems that many folks have already discovered the place. Not only was the restaurant full the evening I went, but we recognized many familiar faces there.
