Mayor Jack Young – Sandy Rosenberg

I trembled as I left a voice message with Nathan Lewin early this morning.

It’s not every day that I’m contacting one of the country’s leading constitutional lawyers.

He testified in support of my bill regarding religious divorce (a “get”) several years ago.

Today I wanted to talk to him about legislation resulting from the Israel-Hamas war.

My day concluded with a meeting of the advisory committee of neighborhood residents who live near Pimlico Race Track.

Mayor Jack Young and I created this group three years ago.

My job now is to bring the community’s concerns to the decision makers for Pimlico’s renovation.

From the First Amendment to the Daily Racing Form.

All in a day’s work.

More than a year ago, I began meeting with the neighborhoods on all sides of Pimlico Race Track. The goal was to create an advisory group for redevelopment decisions that affected these diverse communities.

Our discussions went very well. We called our written agreement a Community Compact.

In one of his last acts as Mayor, Jack Young announced the signing of the compact yesterday.

The Pimlico Community Advisory Board will consist of the neighborhood leaders that helped create the compact, additional community leaders, and an employee of LifeBridge Health.

Mayor Young and officials of the Baltimore Development Corporation, Park Heights Renaissance, and the Maryland Stadium Authority signed the document.

The board will provide input on the Pimlico redevelopment to ensure that it aligns with community interests, such as job opportunities, safety, and housing.

When the Board meets, I won’t have a vote, but I’ll be in the room where it happens.
