In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we will be sharing Black history facts of #AnneArundel County throughout the month to highlight important yet often untold history of our county. Today we begin by highlighting George Phelps Jr., Anne Arundel's first Black law enforcement officer. 
After applying for jobs with county & city police & being told African Americans need not apply, he met with Sheriff Joseph Alton Jr. & was hired as a Deputy Sheriff around 1950. His first day, the office was flooded with calls claiming a Black man was impersonating an officer.
He served as a Deputy Sheriff for 25 years before retiring. During his tenure he created and served as Chief of a Special Deputies Unit of African Americans with 250 members. He remained an active community member until his passing in 2015.
I agree with @capgaznews: "...whether it is rising sea levels or growing risks from flash flooding, the state should lead on the response to climate change rather than wait."
In #AnneArundel there is no time to wait. Impacts from climate change are here. capitalgazette.com/opinion/our-sa…

In one week in July of 2018, Baltimore Washington International Airport recorded three storms with rainfall exceeding the current stormwater standards. Storms like these overwhelm stormwater systems, flood homes and businesses, erode streams, and carry sediment to the Bay.
And @AAWPRP estimates that it costs $2.6 million of taxpayer money to restore each mile of stream degraded by stormwater runoff.
So we aren't waiting. Our Director of Environmental Policy has been working with @SenatorSarah on SB227 to deliver statewide solutions on stormwater.

All Maryland counties are being notified that their Health Department vaccine doses will continue to decline. The state appears to be shifting to a private provider approach combined with six large state-run vaccination centers.
Of those the closest to our county will be Six Flags in Prince George’s (starting next Friday) and M&T Bank Stadium (start date not announced). Registration information has not been made available for those sites.
Pharmacy locations listed by the state only show two #AnneArundel locations, Giant in Annapolis & Glen Burnie. Their allocations are not publicly listed by the state, but residents consistently report the Giant site did not offer preregistration or appointments all week.
I'm pleased to announce that the #AnneArundel Circuit Court dismissed the politically motivated #lawsuit attacking my #eligibility today in less than 30 minutes! As I've said many times before—and the judge affirmed—I am absolutely eligible to serve as the #Governor of #Maryland.
As confirmed by today’s clear ruling, you can be 100% sure that a #vote for me on the ballot will count and that I will be well positioned to defeat Governor #Hogan in November. #mdpolitics #KrishforMD
As women win elections across the country in the #YearOfWomen, it’s no surprise that a frivolous lawsuit was filed against the first all woman of color ticket. #womeninpolitics
