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

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.

Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015 Future looks bright for short-term
delegate Cavey
Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015
++++++++++++++++++++++++
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.
[…]
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.
[…]
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.
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.

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.
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.
