[Nfbmd] Very Urgent Help Needed to Get the LBPH Funding bill out of committee

[nfbmd]

HB1242, the bill that will provide regular stable funding for LBPH is still
in House Ways and Means Committee.  The committee must act soon to make the
deadline for House bills to go over to the Senate.  We must contact the
committee by email and urge them to move the bill out of committee and vote
in favor of it.   The attached fact sheet will remind you of the problems at
the library.

 

Please send emails to the members of the committee according to where you
live, ie Baltimore City, Montgomery County, etc. The email address is always
the first name, then a period, then the last name, then @house.state.md.us .
I am providing the committee list at the end of this email. In addition to
the delegates from your location, everyone should also send an email to the
Chairman of the Education Subcommittee, Delegate Anne Kaiser and to the
Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Delegate Sheila Hixson. 

 

Please get your emails in by the morning of Tuesday, March 18th. Please let
me know what response you receive. 

 

Here is the list by locations:

Allegany County - LeRoy Myers

Anne Arundel County - Ron George 

Baltimore City - Talmadge Branch, Melvin Stukes, Nina Harper

Baltimore County - Joseph Boteler, Jon Cardin

Calvert County - Mark Fisher

Fredrick County - Kathryn Afzali 

Howard County - Frank Turner

Montgomery County - Kumar Barve, Eric Luedtke, Aruna Miller, Bill Frick

PG County - Jolene Ivey, Carolyn Howard, Michael Summers, Jay Walker, 

Alonzo Washington 

Washington County - Andrew Serafini  

 

Make sure the delegates know that we want them to vote in favor of this
bill. Get your family and friends to send emails too. 

 

Thanks for your help, 

Sharon Maneki
