Take a moment to join us celebrating our military veterans
Drug bust nets kingpin, guns and vehicles
Construction starts on three elementary schools
November is a time where we pay special tribute to those who represent us around the globe in our armed forces.Established in 1918 as Armistice Day, Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans. We are lucky to have Fort George J. Meade and the U.S. Naval Academy right here in our backyard. There are so many ways you can thank them for their service. There are several ways you can show
your support. Adopt a military family for the holidays. Donate to a veterans charity. Observe a moment of silence. Visit a memorial or cemetary. Visit your local nursing home or VA hospital.Best of all, get to know the people who are serving right in our community. Learn more about local organizations and how you can get involved.From everyone in Anne Arundel County government, thank you to all of the brave men and women who served in our military here and around the world.
County police announced 21 arrests resulting from an eight-month investigation into drug trafficking. Seizures included more than $800,000 in drugs, as well as guns, cash and vehicles. The investigation was by a task force of multiple agencies.
More than 1,500 students are about to get brand new schools at Tyler Heights, Edgewater and Richard Henry Lee elementary schools. The County added $36 million in the budget to accelerate construction of the three schools in this year’s budget.

Watch Week in Review
Safety TipsThere’s nothing better than the Thanksgiving tradition of eating turkey and watching football. Tossing the football in the yard has its perils, but so does cooking the turkey. That’s right. Some people get the exciting idea each year of deep frying the turkey. Sure it’s delicious, but please be careful! Make sure you keep the fryer a safe distance away from the house and outside of course. Cook on flat ground so you don’t spill the hot oil. Use a thawed and dry turkey, because oil and water are not friends. Watch the temperature, because the handle and the lid can get extremely hot and cause burns. Finally, make sure you have a fire extinguisher handy. We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season, especially when it comes to our health. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
From the County ExecutiveWe have so much to be proud of as my first term as your County Executive comes to a close. It has been an amazing journey.Among the things I am most proud of is the modernization and organization of our local government to better serve the citizens and plan for the future efficiently.We reduced taxes and fees by more than $160 million over the last four years. It’s not an enormous amount of money, but it put more money in the pockets of taxpayers to start businesses and raise their families.
We accelerated school construction at a record pace, starting work on numerous schools including a brand new high school for Crofton. For the first time since 1982, Anne Arundel County will expand the total number of high schools from 12 to 13.We were able to increase pay for teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public servants. We need to do more, but this was a great start coming out of a terrible recession that hit every sector of the economy hard.Other facilities are being built: A new police academy and central boooking, new fire stations, road repairs, park expansions and trails. These projects have been neglected for too long, and now they are coming to fruition. Let’s not forget our efforts to clean up the environment. We have 300 waterway improvement projects in various stages that are often out of sight and out of mind but make a huge difference in the health of the Chesapeake Bay.We have headed up an effort to stop heroin addiction that is a national model. It has been an honor and a tremendous privilege to serve as your County Executive.
