FW: Senator David Brinkley's Monthly e-Newsletter (June 2013)

 

I hope you're going to have a great summer, and for the Fathers out there,

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

  
Senator
David R. Brinkley

Here are a few items I hope you find of interest. As always, feel free to contact me or my office with any concerns.

 

Rain Tax:

On May 31, I appeared on Maryland Public Television debating the "Rain Tax", which I opposed in the 2012 Session. It's a seven minute segment...click the link below:

Memorial Day:

I was honored to attend the Memorial Day service at the American Legion in Frederick on May 27. It was an incredible honor to talk to Mr. Vince Hall, who turns 100 in July, and landed on Omaha Beach. WHAG's Dawn White interviewed Mr. Hall where he shared his story. Click the link below:

American Legion Post 11's Memorial Day Service held a ceremony to memorialize the sacrafice of fallen veterans.  Click here for the full story published by The Frederick News-Post: 

 

We can never thank enough, the individuals who died for this Country and our freedoms. And we shall never forget the families they left behind.

 

Baltimore City Jail:

On June 6th (ironically, the 69th anniversary of the D-Day invasion), the Legislative Policy Committee, which I serve on, had a hearing on the corruption investigation at the Baltimore City Jail. A Federal Investigation handed down indictments to 13 guards for corruption. I applaud the Secretary for bringing in Federal Investigators and being willing to air the Department's dirty laundry. The problems at the jail have existed for years, and now attention is being focused, and it's pathetic it took the realization that an inmate impregnated four guards and ran an illegal enterprise bringing in over $15,000 per month!  More work is being done preparing for legislation to address serious problems in the jail. Click on the links below for more information on this ongoing issue.

FUN THINGS TO DO 

It's Carnival season!

 

Carnivals, carnivals, and more carnivals! Many of the benefits of living in Frederick and Caroll Counties are the numerous carnivals.  Most benefit the local Fire and Rescue Companies, and it's a great opportunity to meet neighbors and support the first responders.

 

I went to the Woodsboro Carnival Monday, June 3rd, for fried chicken and a funnel cake (yes, healthy eating went out the window that day!)

 

A list of upcoming Carnivals is listed below; support the one's you'll call for help in an emergency!
