County finance chief Jeanett Cudmore said that, modeled on a home of about $100,000 in value the homestead tax credit would move from $126.42 a year to $144.13 a year. Morgan confirmed, though, with Cudmore that: “With all the credits we give out we have a decrease in revenue of about $1.3 million. “And the homestead tax credit saves folks about a buck-and-a-half a month,” Morgan said.

We will be getting together with our friends from the General Smallwood Chapter to attend the Blue Crabs Baseball Game on Sunday afternoon, 24 June at the Regency Furniture Stadium. We did this last year and a great time was had by all. The stadium is located just off of Billingsley Road between Route 5 and Route 301 south of Waldorf. (From St. Mary's and Calvert Counties, go north on Route 5 toward Waldorf. Turn left on Billingsley Road. Take Billingsley Road for approximately three miles. Turn left on Piney Church Road. Go approximately 0.5 miles and the stadium will be on the right.) The stadium is handicapped accessible through the main gate. The National Anthem will be at 1400 and the game will begin promptly at 1405 (2:05pm). We have managed to negotiate a lower price than was originally reported. The cost will be $23 per person, and kids five and under are free. The cost includes the admission, seats in an area reserved for us and an all-you-can-eat buffet catered by the Texas Roadhouse (hot dogs, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, French fries, baked beans, and unlimited soft drinks). The buffet starts when the gates open at 1:30, and the buffet will run for two hours. We encourage everyone to come at 1:30 to enjoy the buffet.

The Project is within the Census-designated Lexington Park-California-Chesapeake Ranch Estates, MD Urbanized Area. The proposed improvements will facilitate the continued growth in the region and urbanized area by ensuring safe and efficient connectivity to key military and private sector employment centers. The Project Area encompasses Maryland Route 5 (MD 5), or Point Lookout Road, between MD 246 (Great Mills Road) and MD 471 (Indian Bridge Road) in Great Mills, St. Mary’s County (the County). The Project has advanced since last year’s application. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) has advanced design on the roadway improvements and bridge replacement, refined costs estimates, and acquired right-of-way for the Project. The Project was the St. Mary’s County top funding priority in its 2019 transportation priority letter. It will address existing safety, congestion, access, Together, these investments significantly and connectivity issues present in the Project improve mobility and safety in this rural Area by improving road geometry, replacing an community.
