Supreme Court
Mandated Tax Return
Will Have Little
Impact on Calvert
Annapolis, Md. Governor Larry Hogan and Comptroller Peter Franchot today
urged eligible Maryland residents who
filed and paid income taxes to another
state between 2011 and 2014 to apply for
a tax refund against the county portion
of their Maryland state income taxes.
Refunds are now taking place following
a recent Supreme Court ruling related to
local income taxes.
For years I have said that Maryland
citizens were being overtaxed and overcharged, and now an estimated 55,000
taxpayers are eligible for substantial
income tax refunds, Governor Hogan
said. The Supreme Courts decision earlier this year allows us to provide another $200 million in tax relief, which will
immediately go back into the pockets of
Maryland taxpayers, and back into our
state economy.
For the thousands of Maryland taxpayers impacted by the Wynne decision, the
Comptrollers Office is working diligently to get your money back to you, where
it belongs, Comptroller Franchot said.
We have dedicated an enormous amount
of resources, technology, and staff to getting refunds out the door as quickly as
possible. To date, my office has processed
more than 4,000 claims, returning more
than $53 million to Marylanders.
AG Frosh: Maryland
to Investigate
VW Deception
Harm to Buyers,
Environment Must Be
Addressed, Frosh Says
for Marylanders.
Volkswagen has acknowledged installing software in its diesel passenger vehicles
that turned on full emissions controls during testing, but switched them off during
normal road driving, allowing the vehicles
to emit as much as 40 times as much pollution as allowed under the Clean Air Act.
Maryland law imposes more stringent
emission standards than the federal government and Marylands Consumer Protection Act prohibits misleading statements
made to consumers about the vehicles that
they are buying.
Press Release
Five activists disrupted Governor McAuliffes keynote address at the Biennial Natural Resources and Energy Law Symposium
today by performing a poem written specifically for the Governor and creatively
demanding that he call off the proposed
pipelines threatening to go through Virginia. The activists were members of the
Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League,
SEED: Stopping Extraction and Exports Destruction, We Are Cove Point, and FANG:
Fighting Against Natural Gas.
Taking turns with each verse, they
stood on chairs and recited a poem entitled
McAuliffe Knows (see text below). It
spotlighted the hypocrisy of the Governor,
primarily regarding his continued support
of several natural gas pipelines proposed to
devastate Virginia and the Appalachian region. The group targeted the Governor and
the event itself a symposium made up
largely of representatives from the energy
industry, government and academia, to address the array of energy opportunities in
Appalachia.
The Governors keynote address was
timed to occur immediately prior to a panel
on Natural Gas Pipelines, which included
a representative from Dominion Resources.
On Friday, September 18, 2015, a consortium
of energy companies, including Dominion
Resources, formally applied to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to build the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a
564-mile natural gas pipeline that would
pass through West Virginia, Virginia, and

CLINTON PORTIS
5-7 P.M.
In conjunction with Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness (PAD) month, MedStar St.
Marys Hospital (MSMH) is working to help
educate the community about PAD, an often
undiagnosed illness which left untreated can
lead to lower extremity amputation, as well
as extensive pain and suffering, and even
death.
It is estimated PAD affects between 8 and
12 million Americans over the age of 50 or
one in 20 adults.
PAD is a disease that occurs when arteries particularly in the lower legs become
clogged with fatty deposits that limit blood
flow. PAD increases your risk of heart attack
and stroke, but timely detection and treatment can reduce these risks and improve your
quality of life.
To educate communities about the prevention and risk factors associated with PAD,
MedStar Health is working in collaboration
with Dare to C.A.R.E to provide cost-free
vascular screenings. Vascular screenings
have been beneficial in uncovering blockages
that may have otherwise gone undetected.
Screenings are quick and pain-free using
ultrasound technology and appointments include blood pressure checks. If you are age
50 to 80, smoke, have diabetes, have high
blood pressure and/or high cholesterol, you
may be at increased risk for PAD. Schedule
your screening today by calling 410-5739483, ext. 202 or 203.
In addition to education and informal
screenings, MedStar St. Marys offers a
comprehensive approach to combating PAD
from testing and diagnosis, to treatment and
follow-up care. Technologically advanced diagnostic and surgical procedures are offered
through the hospitals angiography suite,
which is complemented by the wound-care
services offered through MSMHs state-ofthe-art Wound Healing Center.
Many people who have PAD do not experience any symptoms, said Charlene Rohulich, Operations Specialist for MedStar St.
Marys Wound Healing Center. Smokers,
African Americans, people with high blood
pressure, and individuals older than 50 with
diabetes are at a much greater risk of having
the disease.
Typical symptoms of PAD include:
Fatigue, heaviness and cramping in the
legs during activities such as walking or
climbing stairs that goes away with rest;
Pain in the legs and/or feet at rest, disturbing sleep;

statements account for our operations using three
bases of accounting. We have about 40 bank and
trust accounts with financial institutions.
We administer the employee health plans, coordinate the retiree health benefits and implement the

We plan and finance Capital Projects; disclosure
annual reporting; and create bond rating presentations. Bond financing is the largest revenue source.
The impact of the bonds on operations and the
Countys balance sheet must be considered and
calculated as a part of this process. The six year
plan accounts for almost $250 million in revenues
and almost $250 million in expenses.
We purchase goods and services ensuring the

Holt and
Malhotra:
The human stories at Hallowing Point Trailer Park
that have unfolded over the
past years have tested our
collective resources to address living conditions and
personal situations for those
residents.
Overall, it is with great
appreciation that housing
vouchers and Social Services referrals have served
those residents well over
the past years. We write today on a related topic that is
unfolding as we write. As
you are aware, the Board of
Public Works approved the
acquisition of the Hallowing Point Trailer Park by
the Department of Natural
Resources. As a condition
of the sale, we understand
the property owner is to
terminate all residential
leases and turn the property
over after removing all improvements. Our collective
resources continue to work
collaboratively to ensure
proper referrals are made
for residents and available
resources are made accessible to residents of Hallowing Point.
The dedication of all personnel is sincerely appreciated. However, a number
of concerned citizens have
contacted us regarding any
relocation plan the property
owner may have for aiding
residents in finding new
homes.
As a result of the current
situation, we have found
there may be opportunities
for additional clarity in the
application of Title 8A, of
the Real Property Article
of the Maryland Annotated
Code, which Title addresses mobile home parks and,
within Subtitle 12, their closure. Applicability of Subtitle 12 to Hallowing Point
has been questioned on two
grounds. First, Real Property Article, 8-101(j), defines
a resident to include those
who own a trailer and resides in a Park. Therefore, it
appears that those residents
of Hallowing Point, who do
not own, but, instead, lease
a trailer and a space in the
mobile home park, are not
eligible for the protections
of Title 8A, Subtitle 12, of
the Real Property
Article. If that is not the
