I support Dr. Candice Logan-Washington's candidacy for the District 1Board of Election seat. And I am not the only elected official who supports her; each elected official in District 10 ( Senator Ben Brooks - 10th Legislative District N. Scott Phillips Jennifer White Holland) and District 44 ( Sheila Ruth, District 44B Delegate Delegate Eric Ebersole and Aletheia McCaskill ) also support her candidacy. And our support is not anything that any elected official provides lightly.

I have known Candice for more than a decade and she has been an advocate for all children as long as I have known her. She is a bright and caring educator who has been a BCPS student, a BCPS teacher, a BCPS administrator, and a BCPS parent. She will carry all of these experiences with her, if this community gets behind her and supports her candidacy, for the benefit of our children.

If you have yet to vote, this article is a great profile of her and what she has to offer our district and the larger community.

Four races for the Baltimore County Board of Education have drawn opponents in the Nov. 3 general election, but one of the most closely watched contests is unfolding on the county’s west side.

Our Health Department is in the middle of its triennial community health needs assessment. This assessment is performed with our hospital partners. One of the key steps in the assessment is ensuring as many residents as possible take the survey.

Please take this survey; it takes just a few minutes and helps us understand our Baltimore County residents’ health care needs.

I was saddened to learn that a sw****ka had been painted on Catonsville High School grounds last week. I understand that the incident was promptly reported to the police department by school staff.

I couldn't help but reflect on the call of the community just a under 10 years ago when many of us declared with Snooki that there was no hate in 21228. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said:

"I am sure that we all recognize that there are some things in our society, some things in our world, to which we should never be adjusted. There are some things concerning which we must always be maladjusted if we are to be people of good will. … racial discrimination and racial segregation … religious bigotry … economic conditions that take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few … the madness of militarism, and the self-defeating effects of physical violence."

I hope to see the perpetrator held responsible. Hate and bigotry have absolutely no place in our community.

"Legislation introduced on Tuesday night would raise the county executive’s pay nearly $50,000 to $240,000. That increase was recommended to the county council by the county’s Personnel Salary Advisory Board.

An additional bill calls for council members’ pay to be increased from $69,000 to $119,000. The chairman’s salary would go from $77,000 to $129,750."

The council chair says council members have been historically underpaid. If it passes, the salary increase will kick in in December, after the November election.
