Spend $2, See Your Patch Editor Live, in Person
Several Franklin High alumni, including yours truly, will take the stage at the school Monday night to perform selections from three of our musical projects, and jam with our music teachers.
I’ve performed all over the East Coast, jammed with musicians in Australia and Amsterdam, and played headlining shows at Baltimore’s Rams Head Live. But, there’s nothing quite like coming home. Monday night, I couldn’t be more at home. I’ll be taking the stage at Franklin High School with five other musicians who graduated from the school. We’ll be playing songs from three of our musical projects: The Skakabobs (which started while we were all still students at Franklin), The Rez and At The Zoo. Joining me on stage will be Harrison Brazier on vocals, guitar and trombone, Carson Korman on bass, Dave Cavalier on drums, Tyler Wheeler on saxophone and guitar and Adam Schuman on trumpet. The Baltimore County Teachers Band, which includes …

Legislature Approves Tax Hike, Pension Shift
Governor calls budget package "good for all Marylanders." Republicans say burden to local governments may force county governments to increase taxes.
The Maryland House of Delegates gave final approval Wednesday to a package of three bills that increases taxes on some state residents, shifts part of teacher pensions to local governments and undoes the so-called "doomsday budget." The votes Wednesday afternoon capped the three-day special session called by Gov. Martin O'Malley in order to override more than $500 million in cuts made in a budget passed in early April. The Senate approved the same three bills Tuesday. As part of the package, legislators approved by a vote of 86-51 what amounts to a 50-50 split of teacher pension costs with local governments. The split will be phased in over the next four years beginning July 1 with the new budget year. That bill also includes a doubling of…

Photos: Sacred Heart Students Race for Education
On May 7, students from Sacred Heart School in Glyndon participated in a Race for Education. Sacred Heart earned a $41,000 grant from the Knott Foundation for the purchase of SMART Board Technology. The Race for Education provided the remainder of the funds needed to obtain a SMART Board for each classroom by the fall. Having earned over $40,000 (and counting) during the Race for Education fundraiser, the students and staff had much to celebrate as they ran laps for one hour. Parent volunteers were on hand to mark each lap a student ran, which became bragging rights for many who outpaced their friends. A successful fundraiser ended with a fun, healthy day outside.

Tax Increases On Special Session Menu
Plan to fix "Doomsday Budget" includes $247 million in tax increases and elimination of exemptions for single filers earning $100,000 or more and joint filers earning $150,000 or more.
UPDATE (5:59 p.m.)—Some Maryland residents will pay more taxes in the coming year under a plan worked out between Gov. Martin O'Malley and legislative leaders. O'Malley, accompanied by House Speaker Michael Busch and Senate President Thomas V. "Mike" Miller, announced the nearly $35.8 billion plan during a Wednesday morning news conference in Annapolis to discuss the upcoming special session. "To leave this budget incomplete, to leave this budget as it stands right now, would damage the very forward motion that all of us, together, have worked so hard to achieve for our state," O'Malley said. "Progress is a choice," O'Malley said. "Job creation is a choice. Building America's number one schools, making a college education affordable, …

Pitor ... If I may borrow a line from the great President Ronald Reagan, "There you go again!" You take one tiny little part of my last comment and use it completely out of context to avoid the real topic. I never said anything about nor even remotely implied that the single mother of ONE child or the married couple with THREE children or even the fictional family willfully having 20 children … more ›

Bad news for bullies in Baltimore County public schools—suspensions are increasing among students who intimidate and harass their classmates.

The county's anti-bullying efforts include preventative measures and swift disciplinary actions—including suspension—according to Glenda Myrick, the county schools coordinator of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, who presented the report to the board.

Bullying is getting way out of hand. Reports about bullying more than tripled in 4 years? And number of suspensions actually less? Sadly, many teenagers that have to deal with bullying end up taking their own lives because they can't live with the stress. This is not the type of school environment I would want to send any kid to. more ›

A 7-year-old White Marsh baseball player completed a rare play last week.
OUTSIDE BALTIMORE, MD -- If only Little League had instant replay. Cristian Banks, a 7-year-old Fullerton Elementary student, completed a rare unassisted triple play on May 3.
