  • KEVIN KAMENETZ April 13, 2017 County Executive Council
    KEVIN KAMENETZ April 13, 2017 County Executive Council Chairman Quirk, members of the County Council, and fellow residents of Baltimore County, good morning. Visitors to our Baltimore County website will find plenty of photographs. We put them there because each picture tells part of a story. There are images of a company joining our thriving business community, bringing new jobs and new economic opportunities. Images of a new neighborhood school opening, providing world class education to serve our ever-growing population. A groundbreaking for another affordable senior housing community, helping ensure our older adults can age with dignity and respect. A new nature center and new turf fields for young people – and kids of all ages. Retraining workers to find jobs in this technology-driven age. Each image is part of our broader story, showing the progress we have made together. And each gives us reasons to pause, to celebrate and to reflect. What often strikes me when I stand with a shovel at a groundbreaking or hold those big scissors at a ribbon cutting is Baltimore County’s size and scope. As county executive of Maryland’s third largest jurisdiction, I have the privilege to serve more than 830,000 residents who are committed to this place that we proudly call home. Our dedicated government workers truly get the job done. They’re teaching in our classrooms, they are patrolling our streets, they are issuing permits and, sometimes, they are literally in the trenches. To all our government employees, for all of the ways you contribute to our success, thank you for serving our County well.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

  • CAPSULE SUMMARY BA-3095 Granite African American Survey District Baltimore County, MD 1860-1900Ca. Established in the Early 19Th
    CAPSULE SUMMARY BA-3095 Granite African American Survey District Baltimore County, MD 1860-1900ca. Established in the early 19th century, the village of Granite is located near the Patapsco Falls near the western boundary with Howard County in the Second District of Baltimore County. The town of Granite was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The Granite Presbyterian Church was then organized in 1848. By 1850, Granite had developed significantly at the intersection of Granite Road and Old Court Road. The community grew out of the quarrying interests of the Worthington family, whom owned a significant amount of land in the surrounding area. The Arfrican American area is divided into two sections, Bunker's Hill and Melrose Avenue, also known as "the track." When Granite School #3 was built in 1878 the first school at the intersection of Hernwood and Old Court Roads became the first entirely African-American school in the community. Public School #22 operated until the 1950s when it closed. Some of the resident families during the 20th century included the Wilsons, Hodges, Griggs, Butlers, Buchanans, Lees, Lawrences, Bennetts, Walkers, and Porters. The small African-American community is entirely comprised of single-family dwellings. Within the community of Granite are buildings used both by African-Americans and their Anglo-American neighbors, such as the Hernwood School (BA-2290) at 2803 Hernwood Road. The historic dwellings lining Old Court Road, Bunker's Hill Road, and Melrose Avenue predominantly date to the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Five rental homes are situated along Bunker Hill Road that were originally African-American dwellings.
