On April 8th the GCC met at the community center at Waugh Chapel.
State Senator Janet Greenip was the first guest speaker. She summarized the just concluded Session of the Legislature. She announced that the county will be reimbursed for the monies spent testing wells for carcinogens from the fly ash deposited in the mines run by BBSS. She said that new legislation requires polygraphs for guards at detention centers, and that illegal immigrants could be deported rather than be put in jail.
In an effort to decrease emissions from power plants, a "cap and trade" policy was enacted, which encourages those plants to use effective "scrubbers" to lower their emissions. If a plant's emissions are below its quota, it can "trade" the unused portion with another company. A reason to enact this law was the state's entry into the Regional Energy Consortium, or "Reggie".
Anne Arundel County Executive liaison to the community, Brenda Reiber, said that the Dairy Farm Advisory Committee has been meeting. She announced that in order to have more public input in the County's General Development Plan (GDP) revision process, the County's Planning Advisory Board (PAB) appointed new members to the Special Advisory Committee (SAC). Anthony Savia, a resident of one of the member associations, has been appointed.
County Councilman, James Benoit's assistant Veronica Jagoe, was asked to convey the gratitude of the community for having the light at Reidel and Nantucket put in before summer.
GCC planing and zoning chair, Torrey Jacobsen, said that BBSS had applied for a special exception to mine closer to their property boundary. He asked the GCC to take a stand against this. The GCC declined.
GCC education chair, Tom Frank, said that he was running for a position on the school board. The GCC voted to support his candidacy.
GCC president, Art Huseonica, will speak in favor of Mr. Frank at the School Board Nominating Commission's hearing on April 28th.
School Board Nominating Commission Chairman, Joshua Greene, explained how the commission worked.
The county's health department's health officer, Frances B. Phillips, was unable to be at the meeting for health reasons. In her stead, Director of Environmental Health, Kerry Topovski, came. She said that the MDE would monitor the remediation of the ground water at the BBSS fly ash site.
