Hard work. Real results.
That’s the campaign slogan I’ve used in several elections.
Real results were the subject at a community meeting on Saturday.
Neighborhood residents are discussing how to spend slots money for economic and community development in areas near Pimlico Race Track.
My 41st District colleagues and I worked very hard to keep that money in the slots bill in 2007.
There once again will be a grocery store at Liberty Heights and Hillsdale Avenues. The lot has been an eyesore for a decade and a major concern for both the community and the delegation.
Mayor Rawlings-Blake announced the contract with a developer this week. There’s still hard work ahead to meet concerns about hiring people from the community and other issues.
My actions today, on the other hand, won’t bring real results this legislative session.
I talked to a staffer about drafting language for the budget bill. (The process that led to the Thornton formula for funding public school education began with similar action.)
I discussed a witness list for a bill hearing next week, with the goal of generating momentum to pass the bill next year.
