4 ANNAPOLIS SUMMIT 2015

Dear Friends,

Every great experience, every great moment, every great memory I have ever had in my life has happened here in Maryland. This state has given me so much, and I feel fortunate to have been given the opportunity to serve my fellow Marylanders as the 62nd governor of our great state. The secret to our victory in November was meeting voters where they were, listening to their needs, and remaining focused on the issues that unite Marylanders of all walks of life. I am encouraged that many of these issues are being addressed by this year’s Annapolis Summit, and on the “Countdown to the Summit” broadcasts preceding it. Though our election was not a victory of one party or ideology over another, it was a wake-up call that the voters want Annapolis to come up with bipartisan solutions to the serious issues our state faces. Everywhere Lt. Gov. Rutherford and I traveled, we heard frustration from people who feel like nobody is focused on the issues important to them. Regardless of where they live, from the streets of Baltimore to the farms on the Eastern Shore, Marylanders everywhere are suffering. They have seen their earnings drop, their jobs disappear and the cost of everything going up. Worse, the state still faces a $1 billion deficit. Clearly, we need a new approach. I am committed to being a good steward of your hard-earned tax dollars. The days of throwing money at problems without measured results are over. Instead, we will expect performance. Marylanders will judge us by a new standard: results. To achieve these results, Democrats and Republicans will have to work together to get our budget under control, ease the tax and regulatory burden that stands in the way of economic growth and establish new priorities that will allow us to keep our promises year in and year out. While the challenges facing our state are serious, let’s not for a moment believe they are insurmountable; after all, we are Marylanders. I am confident that by working together, we will do more than merely address the challenges that confront us; we will seize this opportunity to accomplish great things

for our beloved state and her people. So on behalf of all of us in our administration, thank you to the hosts and sponsors of this year’s Annapolis Summit. I am looking forward to working with Senate President Mike Miller and House Speaker Mike Busch and all our colleagues in the legislature over the next 90 days and in the years ahead on behalf of our fellow Marylanders.

Sincerely,

Lawrence J. Hogan, Jr.Governor

Full agenda for Hogan, legislatureLeading up to the Annapolis Summit, The Daily Record’s reporters previewed topics

and issues that are likely to be raised during this year’s legislative session. The following summarizes that coverage.

SUMMIT SERIES ROUNDUP

Police camera issue heats up Police agencies in Maryland could be required to begin developing and phasing in body camera programs as soon as this year. Del. Samuel I. “Sandy” Rosenberg, D-Baltimore city, and some other members of a state work group looking at the issue say such a mandate to implement body cameras that would be used to record some interactions between police and the public could be on the horizon. The mandate could be part of a bill introduced during the current legislative session. While some local jurisdictions already are implementing body camera programs, some officials say such programs come with challenges. Those include privacy issues, financing concerns and questions about how law enforcement agencies use the video and whether the Maryland Public Information Act should be amended to accommodate requests for the footage.

Hogan takes different approach to environmental issues The fresh crop of legislators — more than a third of the 188 senators and delegates will be new to their positions — will debate environmental issues that preceded many of them, in addition to Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. Hogan, who has made economic links to many popular environmental initiatives, has announced that he differs from the Democratic-controlled legislature and his predecessor, Gov. Martin J. O’Malley on issues such as the so-called rain tax, the regulation of chicken manure on Eastern Shore farms and fracking. During the campaign, Hogan vowed to repeal the controversial stormwater management fee imposed by the legislature two years ago. He used the fee as an example of what he said was a government so revenue thirsty that it had found a way to tax the rain. Hogan said following his election that he favored giving counties local control over how they would enforce the rain tax.

A Maryland commission on pretrial reform last month called on the state to stop requiring people to post bond after arrest as a condition of being released from custody before trial. The Governor’s Commission to Reform Maryland’s Pretrial System called the state’s bail system inherently unfair. Low-income defendants are too often held in

custody pending trial due to their inability to pay, while wealthier defendants are released because they can foot the bill, the commission stated. The call to eliminate bail was the most controversial of the 23-member panel’s recommendations to the General Assembly for improving how Maryland’s justice system treats arrested criminal

suspects prior to trial. In its 77-page report, the panel also recommended dismantling the Judiciary’s attorney-representation program, which started July 1, and instead have the Maryland public defender’s office provide counsel at the 177,000 initial bail hearings annually before district-court commissioners.

Future of gubernatorial fund uncertain

Finding a way to replenish the program that funded the gubernatorial campaigns of Democratic Del. Heather R. Mizeur and Republican Gov. Larry Hogan will top the wish list of those who advocate for limiting the effect of special-interest money in state elections. Ironically, the future of the fund could be in jeopardy due to a lack of money. Advocates say now is the time to update the law, which dates back to 1974, and to ultimately expand it to state legislative races. “There is some hope for it,” Jennifer Bevan-Dangel, executive director of Common Cause Maryland, said of the fund. “But, we do need to modernize the law.” Finding a way to replenish the state’s public financing account will be foremost on the minds of watchdog groups and legislators alike.“We can’t have a broken promise out there for candidates,” said Bevan-Dangel. Bevan-Dangel believes that the effort to bolster the fund will have the support of Hogan, who received nearly $3 million from the fund — nearly two-thirds of the $4.3 million spent directly by the Hogan campaign to defeat Democratic Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown, who spent roughly three times as much.

Marijuana bills back again Lawmakers are expected to debate a number of bills related to marijuana policy in Maryland. Those topics are likely to include a possible revision of marijuana decriminalization laws as they relate to paraphernalia; making it illegal

to smoke marijuana in public and the legalization of the drug — commonly referred

to as regulation and taxation — similar

to what has happened in Colorado and Washington state.

However, some top officials in Maryland told

The Daily Record they were not expecting lawmakers to make swift or dramatic changes this year. Gov. Larry Hogan has said he opposed legalization of marijuana.

Businesses have high hopes for improved climate Business leaders in Maryland say they are excited at the prospect of a more business-friendly state under a governor who says he is focused on restoring Maryland as a competitive player when it comes to growing, attracting and retaining businesses. Matthew Palmer, senior vice president of government relations for the Maryland Chamber of Commerce, said that Hogan and the legislature will have their hands full with the budget and that will likely slow the rate at which the new governor can push his agenda. Officials announced last month that Maryland’s budget deficit had grown to $1.2 billion. Before leaving office, Gov. Martin J. O’Malley made more than $400 million in budget cuts, fund transfers and other budget moves he said would offset the deficit in the current budget year. Some of his actions will require legislative approval.

Maryland is among a growing number of states that have been steadily moving away from marijuana prohibition and exploring alternative policies. State officials are in the process of implementing Maryland’s new medical marijuana law, and residents with qualifying medical conditions will soon be able to access their medicine from licensed, regulated providers. Lawmakers also voted to replace criminal penalties for possession of up to 10 grams of marijuana with a civil citation similar to a traffic ticket. This simple and commonsense policy shift will save countless individuals from a lifetime of consequences associated with a criminal conviction, including difficulty obtaining a job, education or even housing in some cases. Decriminalization will also allow law enforcement to focus on serious crimes, rather than arresting people for possessing a substance that is objectively safer than alcohol. However, there is still work to be done. While possession of marijuana no longer warrants criminal sanctions, individuals can still be arrested and charged for possessing paraphernalia used to consume it. Addressing this discrepancy should be a legislative priority, as it is irrational to maintain harsher penalties for possession of a pipe or rolling papers than for marijuana itself. Also, merely removing criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana does nothing to address some of the biggest problems caused by marijuana prohibition. Marijuana sales continue to be conducted by illegal dealers, and millions of dollars in potential tax revenue are

being flushed down the drain. These funds prop up a dangerous underground marketplace that causes headaches for law enforcement and increases the likelihood that adults seeking only to use marijuana will be exposed to other, more harmful illicit substances. Marijuana prohibition has done nothing to prevent the use and sale of the product. Billions of dollars have been spent on efforts to eradicate cultivation, stifle distribution and scare people away from purchasing it. Yet usage rates have remained steady and show no signs of declining anytime soon. It’s time to take marijuana sales out of the hands of cartels and gangs and put them behind the counters of legitimate, taxpaying Maryland businesses. It would provide authorities with control over the substance — over which they currently have no control — and deprive criminals of a lucrative revenue source. It would also create good jobs and generate significant new tax revenue that would benefit communities throughout the state. Marijuana prohibition has been an enormous failure, just as alcohol prohibition was in the 1920s and 1930s. It is irrational to continue making the same mistake year after year in hopes of arriving at a different result. State lawmakers have an opportunity to get out in front on this issue and set a good example for the rest of the country. If they take an objective look at the evidence surrounding marijuana, they will inevitably arrive at the conclusion that it’s time to find an alternative to prohibition. That is what voters want, and hopefully that is what they will get in 2015.

LEGALIZING MARIJUANAPRO

Rachelle YeungLegislative Analyst, State Policies Department, Marijuana Policy Project

Decriminalization will allow law enforcement to focus on serious crimes


As a member of the Maryland House of Delegates and a retired Sergeant from the Baltimore County Police Department, I have strong feelings about legalizing marijuana. Last year, The Maryland House of Delegates passed a bill to decriminalize marijuana and make it a civil infraction. In doing so, state legislators forgot to also decriminalize paraphernalia. Why is this important in the realm of this crime? If you are riding in your car and get stopped by law enforcement and you have a rolled marijuana cigarette in plain view, the officer will write a ticket for the marijuana, but can arrest you for the paper it is rolled in. Does this make any sense? Unfortunately, this is the way things are done in Annapolis, in haste and without proper thinking as to consequences. This is a central reason why marijuana legalization is not a good idea: not all the possibilities and or unintended consequences have been thought out. The law enforcement perspective further illustrates this. In committee last year, we heard over and over that without the possibility of search incident to arrest — and this will happen if this is a civil infraction — the police will not have the right to search vehicles for large quantities of drugs, which is allowed now. Many law enforcement professionals

testified that there have been hundreds of large drug seizures from vehicles after a traffic stop that involved an arrest for simple possession. This will no longer happen, allowing large quantities of drugs to go undetected. Another problem for law enforcement is that if a person is stopped for DUI there is not a test to determine how much of the marijuana ingredient THC is in the person’s system like there is with a breathalyzer test. The only test available is a blood examination, and law enforcement needs a search warrant for that. The amount of time to obtain a search warrant would exceed the two hour limit for testing. Way too many violators would walk without being convicted if this occurs. In almost every state that has either decriminalized marijuana or legalized it, the number of fatal accidents have tripled with the use of marijuana. Experts will tell you that with alcohol, most people just use it socially and not to get intoxicated — but with marijuana, they are using it to get high, and the results are catastrophic when they try to drive. Our own Shock Trauma says that over 60 percent of the people they treat now have THC in their system, and this number will climb if we legalize marijuana. In closing, I can only say that we need more time to look at the consequences before moving forward with this drug.

Not all the possibilities, unintended consequences have been thought out

For a second year, lawmakers in the Maryland General Assembly are expected to address marijuana policy in the state. On the table are expected to be revisions of the state’s marijuana decriminalization laws regarding paraphernalia, making it illegal to smoke marijuana in public and legalization of the drug entirely. Gov. Larry Hogan has said he opposes legalization of marijuana.


The “rain tax.” A brilliant slogan used against the O’Malley/Brown administration. Better even than the “flush fee” used against the Ehrlich Administration. Political strategy aside, we are all charged with a higher responsibility — protecting the Chesapeake Bay. First, let me say I believe all members of the Maryland legislature, liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican, are strongly committed to the Bay. As the new chairman of the Environment & Transportation Committee, I share that commitment. The Bay isn’t going down on our watch. The truth is Maryland is running the biggest biochemistry experiment in the western hemisphere — the Chesapeake is the world’s largest “wet lab.” The life of the Bay will be determined not by emotion or politics but instead by the harsh, unforgiving laws of science, just as in a laboratory. Under the Clean Water Act, the federal government established the basic structure for regulating pollutant discharges into the waters of the United States. In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency established a Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for specific pollutants. In response to federal standards, Maryland created our stormwater remediation fees (the so called “rain tax”). Under federal law, nine specific counties and the City of Baltimore are already required to implement programs and projects to meet the stormwater targets under TMDL. What exactly is this runoff? It is rainwater, which flows off of roofs and over parking lots to pick up animal waste, oils and chemicals which then run into streams and rivers that ultimately feed into the Bay. Stormwater runoff is the fastest growing source of pollution to the

Chesapeake Bay. This is not a “one-size fits all” law. Baltimore and our nine most populous counties were given the authority to structure their fees including the amount, exemptions, caps and other details of the fund. One county charged $1 per year for residences; others went as high as $170 for large mansions. The average is around $40 for homes. State law mandates that this revenue stay in the county and not used to subsidize another jurisdiction, while also outlining how the revenue can be applied. Stormwater and sewage together are the primary source of sediments, nutrients and chemicals like nitrogen and phosphorus. As dangerous as these are to the Bay, we know how to control this pollution with simple, proven solutions — planting trees and vegetation near streams, restoring stream beds, and using rain barrels and rain gardens. These projects often beautify and increase the value of property. Finally, scientific monitoring is required to verify the effectiveness of these efforts. Will it hurt our economic competitiveness? As a corporate financial manager, I don’t think so. Businesses tempted to go out of state to avoid these fees better do their research. In all, 18 jurisdictions in Virginia, eight local governments in West Virginia, several in Pennsylvania, and at least two municipalities in Delaware (including Wilmington) already have stormwater fees in place. Nationally, 1,400 jurisdictions, including Houston and Tampa, have similar policies, and the number is growing. Do you hate the “rain tax”? Well, so do I. But what I hate more is doing nothing about pollution (and violating federal law isn’t a good idea either). We’re not letting the Chesapeake Bay go down on our watch.

THE ‘RAIN TAX’PRO

We are all charged with protecting the Chesapeake Bay


Maryland’s “rain tax” is a national embarrassment. Of the 40-plus tax increases pushed through the General Assembly by Governor Martin O’Malley, the “rain tax” is the most destructive, unfair and nonsensical. No wonder no other state — not even California — taxes the rain. Maryland’s rain tax is destructive because it places a significant financial burden on businesses of all shapes and sizes. Major (and often struggling) manufacturing facilities — once the bedrock of Baltimore’s economy — are especially burdened by the new tax simply because they operate on large parcels of land on which the rain falls. As a result, the rain tax disincentives private property ownership, business expansion and job creation, especially high-paying, skilled manufacturing jobs. I find it ironic that Governor O’Malley and state Democrats pass laws to increase gambling in Maryland, but impose a “sin tax” on property ownership and economic development. No wonder the state’s unemployment rate is now greater than the national average. The rain tax is also grossly unfair because only 10 of Maryland’s 24 local jurisdictions are responsible for paying this tax. And, among those 10 jurisdictions, local governments are able to assess the rain tax in different ways, which creates a confusing and disjointed tax structure. In essence, the rain tax is a form of property tax, but one that is localized to just central Maryland. Finally, the rain tax is completely disingenuous because it does nothing to reduce water pollution or change

anyone’s behavior, other than slow economic output and job creation in the 10 counties it impacts. The rain tax is simply a scheme, cloaked under the banner of environmental protection, to generate more tax revenue to fund more government spending. Clearly, Marylanders love the Chesapeake Bay and want to protect this most valuable of our natural resources. However, they reject new taxes, which have been the government’s “solution” to too many problems, including protecting our Bay. A better way to protect the Bay is to develop a comprehensive, statewide program to encourage better land use practices by the private sector through targeted tax and regulatory incentives, as well as empower local jurisdictions to develop tailored programs to meet their jurisdiction’s unique characteristics and needs. We need thoughtful leadership, not more taxes. Fortunately, Gov. Larry Hogan ran on a campaign to repeal the rain tax. His election gives him a strong mandate to repeal this goofy law. Even Senate President Mike Miller agrees to the new governor’s mandate regarding repealing the rain tax. Let’s not waste any time. The General Assembly should have a vote on repealing the rain tax during the 90-day session. Hopefully, the election of Larry Hogan will usher in a new era of fiscal responsibility, less government intrusion in our lives and greater common sense to governing and protecting the Chesapeake Bay.

This is the most destructive, unfair and nonsensical tax

Gov. Larry Hogan and his predecessor Gov. Martin J. O’Malley differ on the so-called rain tax. While O’Malley supported the stormwater management fee approved by the legislature two years ago, Hogan used an anti-rain tax platform as a large part of his successful campaign for governor. This issue is expected to be addressed during this year’s legislative session.


Audio and video recorded by police officers serves two basic purposes. The first, as an evidentiary piece for the police by recording the facts and circumstances to coincide with a written police report. This allows the officer to enter a court of law with tangible evidence. The second purpose is an unbiased and unchanged account of those same facts and circumstances. This transparency allows for officers, their supervisors, citizens, attorneys and officers of the court to all view the actual event as it occurred. Recent events across the United States have brought the topic of cameras in police work to the forefront of a nationwide discussion. In-car video recording systems have been a staple of many police departments, but have always incurred limitations. In-car video recording typically only captures what occurs in front of a police cruiser. This is only effective when the situation stays in front of a police cruiser, and can often create added uncertainty when only audio from a situation is captured without visual evidence to coincide. That, along with the cost and need for frequent technology upgrades, narrowed the usefulness of in-car video recording units. Technology has obviously improved, and what was not available 10 or 15 years ago is both available and more affordable. On-body cameras are the new “issued duty equipment.” These cameras are not restricted only to a traffic stops. Officers today have a wide range of calls for service and responsibilities. From school resource officers to SWAT operators and everything in between, the need to both capture evidence and factually document police encounters is more important than ever. On-body cameras offer resolution in some areas, and unvaryingly bring more questions in others. The on-body camera system the Laurel Police Department uses, offers a firsthand

view with audio and visual recording of every citizen contact. This allows the recording to capture everything the officers observe. These recordings are unable to be edited or deleted once recorded. The system is very user friendly, and in this day and age, video evidence is becoming more desired in court. Showing a judge or jury an event is not the same as reading a report in court. Some officers view this as calling the integrity of police as a whole into question. Police officers take an oath to protect and serve their communities, and cameras should be looked at as a way to justify and solidify their words and actions, not dispute them. These cameras can also be a great tool in the training of officers, both in initial training and in-service training. Any camera system is not without limitations and questions. All technology and equipment comes with a price tag, and outfitting some departments will be a financial hardship that requires planning. Also, technology hardware and software has a shelf life, and that cost, along with the cost of storage needs to be planned for. Another large issue that will vary depending on jurisdiction or state is privacy. Generally, public streets or public locations have a different expectation of privacy than a residence or private business. Policy and law will evolve, as is needed, to keep pace with what is most appropriate to serve citizens and the public. On-body cameras will never be recording 100 percent of a police officer’s day due to these very same privacy laws. Policy and law training is needed to keep officers up to date on the most current legislation. The facts dictate that this is the direction police agencies are moving. The benefits for police, as well as the clarity this tool can offer in conjunction with community trust, has great potential. Embracing the change, and having a hand in helping shape it will be an immense benefit to all agencies and their policy makers as we move forward.

POLICE BODY CAMERASPRO

Richard McLaughlinChief of Police, Laurel Police Department

Need to capture evidence, factually document encounters more important than ever


Beware of what you ask for! With the creation of new technologies, there is a responsibility to ensure that we do not infringe upon our rights or diminish our freedom. The debate about body worn cameras and their implementation and use by law enforcement officers throughout the state of Maryland is ongoing. Concerns ranging from the initial outlay associated with outfitting every officer to the long term cost of data storage and retention pose an unknown fiscal impact on the state and local jurisdictions that are already facing potential budget deficits. All that aside, the primary desire by some to change the behavior of its law enforcement officers by utilizing body worn cameras is interesting. I initially started by stating “beware of what you ask for!” This was not meant as a threat but rather as a warning that without clear guidelines and policies being implemented every intended or unintended interaction with a law enforcement officer places you and those around you at risk of being captured on video. I would argue that changes in behavior will more likely occur for parties on both sides of the lens. Questions such as who may have access to this data and how this data may be later utilized exacerbates the debate even further. In the end, we must realize that more times than not this information that is being collected will be used against citizens in a court of law to aid in the prosecution of cases thereby placing it in the public eye for all to see. As for questions that may arise about an officer’s actions, we must remember that the video retrieved provides its own snapshot in time and still may not clarify

concerns surrounding an incident or interaction with law enforcement. The men and women out there doing the job are making decisions in most instances in a matter of seconds. They are taking what training and life experience they have to make a judgment in hopes of satisfactorily resolving each and every situation they encounter. Checks and balances, such as good supervision, training and trail audits, occur regularly in hopes of catching and correcting any shortcomings. Now with all that being said, I believe that the men and women in law enforcement at large throughout the state of Maryland are amongst the best in the nation. The points I addressed above are but a few topics that clearly requires more conversation and thought. Fiscal implications bleed over and impact other needs for local jurisdictions. Mandating body worn cameras for some locales may affect hiring of new or additional officers or reduction of other services. Incomplete or not thoroughly thought out policies will more than likely negatively impact those that it was initially meant to protect. I believe that we do ourselves a disservice if we do not take the time needed to thoroughly study and vet the issue of body worn cameras and implementation in the state of Maryland. Just because everyone else is doing it is not a reason. And we should avoid the inherent dangers associated with allowing a piecemeal approach to implementation on a city-by-city or county-by-county basis. This is a matter that requires all parties at the table and an open and honest dialogue about how WE as a society want to be policed.

We must not infringe upon rights or diminish our freedom

Grand jury decisions in Missouri and New York City that failed to indict white police officers in the death of two black men set off protests nationwide, including in Maryland. It also raised the issue of whether police should be required to wear body cameras that would provide footage to be used as evidence during arrests. While some support such a move, others have raised concerns over privacy and potential legal conflicts.

November’s election resulted in Republicans making gains in both houses of Maryland’s General Assembly, but the end result may be a more liberal Democratic majority.

The results of the election set up a dynamic where Republican Gov. Larry Hogan and an incoming legislature, which became more liberal and more Republican at the same time, will have to find a way to navigate potential pressure points. Republicans made their gains largely against rural Democrats and moderates in some blue collar suburban areas

such as Dundalk. As a result 68 percent of Democratic lawmakers are from Baltimore city, Prince George’s and Montgomery counties. Lawmakers from those jurisdictions now also have 12 out of 20 possible committee vice chair or chair positions in the new session. “Maryland Democrats, at least the ones who don’t come from Dundalk, tend to

be pretty liberal,” said Matthew Crenson, political science professor at Johns Hopkins University. Hogan could quickly find himself at odds with legislators from those three jurisdictions, who are looking for the state’s top executive to fund billions of dollars in projects such as the Purple Line and Prince George’s County Hospital in the Washington suburbs and the Red Line and State Center in Baltimore. The new governor also will try to simultaneously tame a budget deficit that is projected to exceed $1 billion over the next eight months and appease other areas of the state that voted overwhelmingly for just the third Republican governor in 45 years. “The victor has a tendency to reward areas that supported him,” said former Del. Jolene Ivey, D-Prince George’s who was Doug Gansler’s gubernatorial running mate. “He’s got to decide if he’s going to do what’s right for the state regardless of the outcome of the election.” Ivey, who conceded that she might be parochial, said that projects such as the Purple Line and improvements for Prince George’s Hospital as well as funding for road improvements as part of a proposed new FBI headquarters would be more immediately beneficial to the state than some Baltimore projects. Todd Eberly, a political science professor at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, said incoming legislators — even the newly elected progressive members — will be faced with the stark reality that Hogan will have to tighten the purse strings. “He’s got no money at all,” Eberly said. “He’s looking for ways to stop spending in some cases. In the past, Eberly said that Baltimore city frequently received more money in the budget for things such as schools and roads while Democrats from the Washington, D.C.-area won on policy issues, such as the death penalty repeal, same-sex marriage and the DREAM Act. “But you have to have money to make that work,” Eberly said, adding that a lack of money could pit the three jurisdictions against each other. “There is a real potential for a divide

and conquer situation,” Eberly said. “It’s a real problem. It could mean that they’ve got to fight for Prince George’s County, and Baltimore city be damned. Then that’s probably going to happen because they have voters to answer to and no one in Baltimore city is going to vote for or against them.” But despite the increased polarization among members of the General Assembly, which mimics what has happened on the national level, it’s not a given that Democrats and Republicans are headed toward an epic partisan showdown. Former Del. Keiffer J. Mitchell Jr., who lost his Democratic primary bid for a state Senate seat in Baltimore this summer, said he thinks voters sent a message to state politicians that they want them to cooperate instead of engaging in partisan squabbling. Hogan named Mitchell as a special adviser earlier this month. He said political savvy Democrats

understand that they need to show voters that they’re willing to co-operate with Hogan on issues like the budget. He said the governor has already shown a willingness to work with the opposition party through some of his cabinet appointments. “Again, Gov. Hogan has come with a mandate not to do business as usual in Annapolis,” Mitchell said. Crenson agreed that despite the General Assembly having less moderates as a result of November’s election it doesn’t mean big partisan fights will roil the State House in the coming session. He said Hogan appears much more willing to work with the legislature than previous Republican Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., who served from 2003 to 2007. “I think Hogan really does want to cooperate a lot more. But the fact is the country is a lot more polarized today than it was even 10 or 12 years ago, and I suspect that’s also true in Maryland,” Crenson said.

There is a real potential for a divide and conquer situation. It’s a real problem. It could mean that they’ve got to fight for Prince George’s County, and Baltimore city be damned. Then that’s probably going to happen because they have voters to answer to and no one in Baltimore city is going to vote for or against them.“ Todd Eberly, political science professor, st. mary’s college of maryland

D Now more than ever, we must invest in the students, educators, and programs that will prepare our children for a competitive global economy.

Protect state and local investments in studentsMSEA supports full funding of Thornton education formulas, the updated geographic cost of education index, and the full actuarial required pension contribution and supplemental payments. MSEA supports expanded school construction funding to ensure safe, modern facilities across Maryland. We oppose efforts to water down the 2012 maintenance of effort improvements that support the local/state partnerships that funds our schools.

Ensure that students have time to learn and educators have time to teach

Students are spending disproportionate amounts of time preparing for and taking costly standardized tests, even though they are not proven to effectively measure student growth or lead to improved teaching and learning. We support efforts to limit the burden of annual state and local testing.

Defend Maryland’s charter school lawMaryland’s charter school law is the strongest in the nation because it strikes the right balance between local control, accountability, and innovative instruction. Our schools depend on keeping standards high and our charter school law strong.

A leader in research, education, policy, and advocacy, the Center for a Livable Future serves as a critical resource for advocates, policymakers, educators and students. Its core programs integrate re-search, policy, education and outreach in four areas as they relate specifi cally to public health: food production, food com-munities, food system sustainability, and food system policy. The Center’s work is driven by the certainty that we must un-derstand the connections among all four program areas.

PRESENTINGS P O N S O R

For nearly 70 years, Stevenson University has played a critical role in bringing students and employers together. Founded in 1947 as Villa Julie College, Stevenson is the third-largest independent university in Maryland, drawing students from 37 states and 42 countries. The University offers 29 career-focused undergraduate degree programs as well as bachelor’s and master’s degrees tailored for working adults through its School of Graduate and Professional Studies. Stevenson students enjoy a full spectrum of academic, athletic, and social activities as well as a focus on career development that puts them on a path to successful employment after graduation.

President Kevin J. Manning, Ph.D., has served Stevenson since 2000, guiding it through its most rapid period of expansion. Since 2000, Stevenson has grown from nearly 1,700 full-time undergraduates to more than 3,200 today. In 2004, the University opened its second campus in Owings Mills, which now houses 2,000 resident students. In 2009, the Owings Mills campus celebrated the opening of the Howard S. Brown School of Business and Leadership, which houses the University’s state-of-the-art mock trial courtroom. To complement the campus’ academic and residence facilities, a 35,000-square-foot gymnasium followed in fall 2010 and a 3,500-seat stadium opened in fall 2011 for the inaugural season of Stevenson football. Stevenson celebrated the opening of its new Owings Mills North campus in September 2013, which is now the home of the University’s School of Design and the future home to its School of the Sciences.

The University’s educational programs continue to evolve in order to prepare students for career success after graduation. As a national leader in career education, Stevenson is the only university in the United States to offer Career ArchitectureSM, a process that helps students discover their personal core values, align them with their major selection and career goals, and design a strategic plan for their futures. Building on Career Architecture, Stevenson helps its students connect their classroom experience to their career aspirations through opportunities such as study abroad, community service,

leadership experiences, internships, and independent study.

For working adults and professionals, Stevenson’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies offers online and onsite master’s and bachelor’s programs with a distinct career focus. Adult bachelor’s programs include Business Administration, Business Communication, Business and Computer Information Systems, Criminal Justice, Interdisciplinary Studies, Nursing RN to BS, Nursing RN to MS, and Paralegal Studies. Master’s programs include Business and Technology Management, Communication Studies, Cyber Forensics, Forensic Science, Forensic Studies, Healthcare Management, and Nursing with concentrations in leadership/management, nursing education, and population-based care coordination. In addition, Stevenson offers the only STEM-focused secondary education Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program in the State of Maryland.

Outside of the classroom, Stevenson boasts 25 NCAA Division III men’s and women’s sports—including the 2013 national champion men’s lacrosse team—plus a growing number of campus clubs and activities that include visiting artists, musicians, comedians, performers, and authors. As a home for the visual and performing arts, Stevenson boasts three art galleries, theatrical productions, and seasonal concerts by the Greenspring Valley Orchestra. Stevenson’s Baltimore Speakers Series, now in its 8th season, brings diverse political leaders, authors, and opinion-makers—such as President Bill Clinton, Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak, former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, and historian David McCullough—to the broader Maryland community to enrich our perspectives on national issues and world affairs.

After more than six decades, Stevenson University stays true to its tagline—“Imagine your future. Design your career.”—and remains a dynamic institution where students expand their knowledge and discover their paths to personal and professional success.
