The Week Ahead

We hope you had a happy and safe Memorial Day!  While this weekend marks the unofficial start to summer, it also commemorates the sacrifices of American servicemen and women.  The next time somebody asks why we need taxes remember, taxes pay our soldiers (and firefighters, teachers, garbage collectors, and many other important people).

Tuesday, May 29th
  • Alcoholic Beverages Article Review Committee meets to review festival licenses and tasting licenses.  Having spent the weekend at the Delfest Bluegrass Festival in Cumberland with a bunch of fine folks from Frederick's own Flying Dog Brewery, I appreciate the work of this committee.  5pm in the Judiciary Training Room, 2009F Commerce Park Drive Annapolis.
Wednesday, May 30th
  • Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases April metropolitan-level employment statistics.
Thursday, May 31st
  • Maryland Health Care Commission meets at 11am in conference room 100 at their offices in Baltimore (4160 Patterson Ave).  This meeting makes up for the cancelled May 17th public meeting.
