U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-5th District) thanked Shady Side fifth-graders who raised $1,611 for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
Shady Side fifth-graders walked across the street to Discovery Village on Monday afternoon to present a check worth $1,611 to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF).

The postcards are available for purchase and funds will go to the Chesapeake Bay.

Dozens of environmentalists showed up to support bill.
A new $35 stormwater fee for homeowners met resistance from county administration, and was delayed by the county council before it could weather a vote. Councilman Chris Trumbauer (D-6th District) of Annapolis is the newest public official to take a stab at funding Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts with Anne Arundel County taxpayer dollars. A similar effort in 2007 failed before the council. The proposal is co-sponsored by Councilman Dick Ladd (R-5th District) of Broadneck. The bill Trumbauer is proposing would add a $35 annual fee on to the property tax bills for single-family homes and $25 for townhomes and condos. The money would go into a fund specifically set aside to improve stormwater management in the county. Local governments …
