Things are moving fast...

Well my friends, it’s down to the wire now. We’ll have marathon sessions on the floor of the House of Delegates tomorrow, Saturday, and Monday. If we don’t pass a budget by midnight on Monday we’ll have to make use of the extension Governor Hogan granted us via executive order late last week. Hopefully that won’t be necessary, but if that’s what it takes to get this state on the right track then that’s exactly what we’ll do.

Here are a few important bills that are still up in the air…

Carroll County Charitable Gaming Bill

Passed the House 139-1
Awaiting passage in the Senate

Rain Tax Repeal

Passed the Senate unanimously
Awaiting passage in the House

Small Business Personal Property Tax Break

Passed the Senate unanimously
Awaiting passage in the House

Military Pension Income Tax Exemption

Passed the Senate unanimously
Awaiting passage in the House

Public Charter Schools

Passed the Senate 46-1
Awaiting passage in the House

Of course this is just a sample of the myriad legislation we’ve seen come through Annapolis this year. If you have a particular bill you’re interested in please don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll give you the latest details. Thanks as always for reading my weekly update. Have a wonderful day!

Haven N. Shoemaker, Jr.
State Delegate, District 5, Carroll County

Romans Chapter 13 verse 4

For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Romans 13 v4

Town of Manchester

Town of Manchester: http://manchestermd.gov/

http://manchestermd.gov/history1/

Rich in history and popular with transplants, Manchester is a small town in northeast Carroll County where old and new collide. It is located on the bustling MD Route 30 – a trucking and commuter route connecting Hanover, Pennsylvania and Baltimore County, Maryland.

With its tidy housing developments-and several more new neighborhoods on the way-this town is part suburb. But with its quaint small downtown and lack of fast-food restaurants, Manchester retains its small-town atmosphere.

Manchester began (circa 1760) as a harmonious blend of English and German cultures, indicated today by the English name of the town and by old tombstones in the cemetery inscribed in German. It developed an atmosphere of local pride and cooperation still evident in the neatness of the streets, homes and yards, and in many cooperative enterprises such as the volunteer Fire Company, “Christmas Tree Park”, “Charlotte’s Quest Nature Center”, a community swimming pool, and strong churches.

A Lutheran church was erected in Manchester in 1760 as the first place to worship in Carroll County. That church’s direct descendent is Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, founded in 1862 and located on Church St. A large white oak, older than the church, stands beside it and is considered the town symbol and town tree. Manchester’s existence has always been closely related to the agriculture of the district. Growth of tobacco in the area years ago led to the development of an extensive cigar manufacturing business (now gone).

A bank, an insurance company, and several service stores, all locally inspired, have catered to rural needs. More recently, commuters to Hampstead, Hanover,Westminster, and Baltimore have established their homes in the relatively peaceful and neighborly atmosphere of Manchester.

At one time, an iron mine was opened near Melrose (north of Manchester) which was thought to have such potential that a spur railroad was built at the site. However, the ore proved to unprofitable and both rail line and mine have disappeared. There was even an iron foundry in Manchester in the early days.

During the Gettysburg campaign of the Civil War, Manchester saw much activity among Union forces. Thousands of troops camped in and near the town.
