  • Marylandinfluencers
    MarylandInfluencers f there was one place where the Democratic Party could take sol- ace on Election Day 2010, it was Maryland, a rock that broke part Iof the red tide sweeping the country. In a year where Republi- cans hoped to make gains across the board, Democrats proved their dominance in the biggest races, holding the governor’s mansion in a landslide, losing just a handful of seats in the state House of Delegates, and actually gaining ground in the state Senate. Any doubts about how deep blue Maryland is—particularly within the state’s heavily populated central corridor—were surely dissipated. Yet the next few years will be pivotal for both parties. Age and term limits are taking their toll on veteran officeholders, opening up op- portunities for ambitious Republicans and Democrats alike to make their mark. The blood sport of redistricting will play out as well. Here is our list of the Democrats and Republicans who are helping to make the decisions and start the important political conversations today in the Chesapeake Bay State—as well as some likely to play a bigger role in the future.

  • Race Plays a Complex Role in Detroit Election
    OCT. 27, 2013 Race plays a complex role in Detroit election Maryland State Delegate Howard P. (Pete) Rawlings was shouting into my ear over the phone, more exercised than I'd ever heard him, over the Baltimore Sun's mayoral endorsement in the summer of 1999. I was the paper's deputy editorial page editor, and the Sun had backed Carl Stokes, an African-American former city councilman. Rawlings, the first African-American legislator to chair the powerful Maryland House Appropriations Committee and a kingmaker in local politics, was backing Martin O'Malley, a white city councilman. O'Malley and Stokes were competing to succeed Kurt Schmoke, the city's first elected black mayor. In the few empty spaces between Rawling's furious verbal assaults, I tried to explain the paper's thinking. All things being equal, I said, we thought the city's African-American population was entitled to leadership that reflected their majority (Baltimore was then about 65% black). O'Malley was a good choice, but so was Stokes. We thought Stokes would make a fine mayor, in touch with the needs and experiences of the city's population, and we believed he would be key to developing future leaders. Rawlings stopped me dead. "You dummies, the future of black leadership in Baltimore, in fact the future of all leadership, runs way more through Martin O'Malley than it does through Carl Stokes," he said. "You're using race as a crude tool for simple analysis. I wish you could see that it's more complicated than that." Rawlings' lecture has been ringing in my ears all year, revived by Detroit's race- tinged mayoral campaign.

  • Our National Parks -- Overcrowded, Underfunded, and Besieged with a Myriad of Vexing Problems: How Can We Best Fund Our Imperiled National Park System?
    NATIONAL PARKS OUR NATIONAL PARKS -- OVERCROWDED, UNDERFUNDED, AND BESIEGED WITH A MYRIAD OF VEXING PROBLEMS: HOW CAN WE BEST FUND OUR IMPERILED NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM? RICHARD J. ANSSON, JR.[*] Copyright © 1996 Journal of Land Use & Environmental Law I. INTRODUCTION One hundred and twenty-six years ago, Congress established Yellowstone as this country's first national park.[1] By 1916, thirty-seven national parks had been established, and in that same year, Congress created the National Park Service to supervise and maintain these parks.[2] Congress mandated that the Park Service preserve each park's scenery, natural and historic objects, and wildlife for both present and future generations.[3] Since 1916, the national park system has grown to include over 376 units.[4] The National Park Service's holdings are remarkably diverse and include wilderness preserves, wild rivers, seashores, archaeological ruins, and historic sites.[5] Throughout this century, our national parks have come to embody and symbolize our country's rich cultural heritage. Our park system protects and preserves our historic and natural treasures. These parks encompass historic battlefields such as Gettysburg National Military Park and archaeological treasures such as Mesa Verde National Park. They encompass wild rivers such as the Buffalo National River and pristine seashores such as Gulf Islands National Seashore. In essence, our national parks have come to represent who we are as a nation and whence we came. Indeed, from the grandeur of El Capitan in Yosemite to the vastness of the Grand Canyon to the splendor of the Grand Tetons, our national parks epitomize the character of our nation and have come to embody the raw, unencumbered spirit of our youthful nation.
