The responsibilities of the position have changed and duties have been expanded and diversified. Similarly, the MACo staff has grown, from the charter staff of Executive Secretary Lovelace and a stenographer, to the seven staff members who serve the organization today. Each Executive Director has not only redefined the position, but, along with his or her staff, has helped to shape and develop MACo itself. Robert Lovelace As discussed in the previous chapter, Robert Lovelace, a former city manager, began his duties with the Association upon the establishment of the Symons Hall office beginning June 1, 1960. Per the agreement with the University of Maryland, he joined their staff as a lecturer in American Government. As the first Executive Secretary, as it was then called, Lovelace set the pace and provided a basic structure for those that would come after him. As is the case today, in 1960 the SACCOM Board was made up of county officials for whom Association service was only one aspect of their responsibilities; Lovelace was the first person involved with the organization that could focus wholly on its development.

Meade, Maryland Directorate of Public Works Environmental Management Office Fort Meade, Maryland 20755 U.S. Army Military District of Washington Fort Lesley J. McNair Washington, D.C. 20319 .... FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPAcrSTATMENT···- LEAD AGENCY: Department of the Army, Military District of Washington. TITLE OF THE PROPOSED ACTION: Future Development and Operations Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. AFFECTED JURISDICTION: State of Maryland, Anne Arundel and Howard Counties. PROPONENT REVIEWED BY: Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, Directorate of Public Works, Environmental Management Office, Fort Meade, Maryland 20755. REVIEWED BY: U.S. Army Military District of Washington, Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319. END OF WAITING PERIOD AFTER FILING: 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. ABSTRACT: An environmental assessment (EA) prepared in April 1999 determined that potentially significant adverse impacts to traffic and air quality could result from the proposed future development and operations at Fort Meade. Pursuant to NEPA, this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was undertaken to evaluate, in detail, the environmental and socioeconomic effects of future development and operations at the installation, specifically planned new construction and associated demolition activities. The Proposed Action includes development and operations expected to occur on the installation between 2001 and 2005. To provide the specificity needed for reasonable predictions of environmental consequences, 11 projects were identified by the Fort Meade Master Planner for consideration within the Proposed Action as being representative of the expected build out. Alternative A consists of constructing 9 of the 11 projects, excluding the two projects least likely to occur; their elimination reduces the number of additional personnel by 272, or 30 percent of the 912 additional personnel included in the Proposed Action.

    NEWS AND NOTES FROM The Prince George's County Historical Society Vol. VIII, no. 1 January 1980 The New Year's Program There will be no meetings of the Prince George's County Historical Society in January or February. The 1980 meeting program will begin with the March meeting on the second Saturday of that month. Public Forum on Historic Preservation The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission will sponsor a public forum on the future of historic preservation in Prince George's County on Thursday, January 10, at the Parks and Recreation Building, 6600 Kenilworth Avenue, in Riverdale. This forum, is the first step in the process of drafting a county Historic Sites and Districts Plan by the commission. (See next article). The purpose of the forum is to receive public testimony on historic preservation in Prince George's county. Among the questions to be addressed are these: How important should historic preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and revitalization be to Prince George's County? What should the objectives and priorities of a historic sites and districts plan be? What should be the relative roles of County government and private enterprise be in historic preservation and restoration? To what extent should the destruction of historic landmarks be regulated and their restoration or preservation subsidized? How should historic preservation relate to tourism, economic development, and revitalization? Where should the responsibility rest for making determinations about the relative merits of preserving and restoring individual sites? Members of the Historical Society, as well as others interested in historic preservation and its impact on county life, are invited to attend and, if they like, to testify.

  • Farewell to a Friend
    Farewell to a Friend On July 6, friends and strangers from across the state paid tribute to Louis L. Goldstein '38 at a public memorial in the State House-a rare honor. Goldstein, 85, died of a heart attack at his home on Friday, July 3. State Archivist Edward Papenfuse was not aware of any other person receiving the honor of a public viewing at the State House-the oldest such building in continuing operation in the country. The honor is appropriate because Goldstein, the son of immigrants, cherished state history and often recited it. On July 7, the small Triniry United Methodist Church in Prince Frederick was host to as many as 1,000 people, including three surviving former governors who served with Goldstein-William Donald Schaefer, Marvin Mandel and Harry Hughes. Elected officials and old friends embraced and reminisced. The 90-minute nonsectarian service befitted Goldstein with its patriotic and sentimental touches. President Clinton and Vice President Gore sent letters of condolence. Sen. Paul Sarbanes eulogized Goldstein (excerpts follow): "Louis Goldstein practiced the politics of joy, not the pol­ itics of hate; he sought to unite people, not to divide them. "Louis knew the importance of education and what the ladders of opportuniry from which he had benefited meant for a healthy society. His love of history ...and of Maryland's heritage infused his life and led him constantly to seek to pass it on .. .In a very fundamental sense he was a true educa­ tor, and we all benefited from his teaching. "He practiced civility and tolerance in his politics.

Governor Videos Contact Governor O'Malley and the Maryland Stem Cell Research Commisson Host First Maryland Stem Cell Research Symposium Governor O’Malley announces Maryland will host the 2009 World Stem Cell Summit COLUMBIA, MD. (December 3, 2008) – More than 250 individuals today attended the First Maryland Stem Cell Research Symposium, jointly hosted by Governor Martin O’Malley and the Maryland Stem Cell Research Commission (Commission). This event was the first of what will become an annual event. During the opening remarks, Governor O’Malley announced that Maryland has been selected to host the 2009 World Stem Cell Summit, which will come to Baltimore September 21 through 23. The World Stem Cell Summit brings together nearly 1,500 stem cell stakeholders from across the nation and the globe to discuss critical issues in stem cell research and discuss the future of regenerative medicine. The symposium, held in the Kossiakoff Center at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, featured presentations from Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund awardees and poster presentations from over 60 Maryland-supported stem cell scientists. “The First Maryland Stem Cell Research Symposium and the announcement of Maryland as host of the 2009 World Stem Cell Summit mark two very important milestones in Maryland’s emergence as a national leader in life sciences,” said Governor O’Malley. “Today’s events will allow Maryland to continue to lead in life saving technologies and in this growing industry. I commend the Commission and TEDCO for organizing this opportunity for Maryland’s stem cell research program to shine and look forward to working with the sponsors of the 2009 Word Stem Cell Summit.” “Today’s First Maryland Stem Cell Research Symposium is a remarkable event for our state and our scientific community,” said Karen Rothenberg, chair of the Maryland Stem Cell Research Commission.

  • The Powers of American Governors
    The Powers of American Governors Thad Kousser Justin H. Phillips Department of Political Science Department of Political Science University of California, San Diego Columbia University [email protected] [email protected] February 7, 2012 Chapter 2 The Roots of Executive Power During his eight years as New Mexico’s governor, Gary Johnson competed in the Ironman Triathlon World Championship, won the America’s Challenge Gas Balloon Race, played guitar with Van Halen’s Sammy Hagar, and helped save a house when massive wildfires struck Los Alamos.1 Yet one accomplishment that consistently eluded him was convincing legislators in Santa Fe to pass the items on his legislative agendas. Session after session, many of Governor Johnson’s policy proposals went nowhere. From the start of his administration, Johnson, a Republican with a background in business, openly clashed with a legislature led by Democratic political veterans. When he entered office in 1995, Johnson admitted that, “I have no expectations to get anything out of the Legislature. The bottom line is we do have different philosophies.” The governor quickly highlighted these differences by vetoing a record-setting 200 bills passed by legislators, who retaliated by burying the bills that he wanted. By the end of that first year, Republican state Senator Skip Vernon observed that, “This guy couldn’t pass Mother’s Day through the Legislature.”2 Little changed over the course of Johnson’s governorship. The fate of the ambitious policy agenda that he announced in his 2001 State of the State address was emblematic of his frequent frustrations. He began his speech with a call for education vouchers that could be used in private schools.
