Welcome to hello! baltimore county., I'm your host, ellen kobler.

A

It is a sad time for baltimore county.

A

on the early morning of thursday, may 10th, baltimore county executive, kevin kamenetz, passed away suddenly from cardiac arrest.

A

He is survived by his wife, jill, and his two teenage sons.

A

Baltimore county lost a dedicated public servant.

A

Who's legacy will truly live on for decades to come.

A

County executive kamenetz invested $1.3 billion.

A

To modernize and rebuild schools, ensuring that baltimore county public school students have safe, effective learning environments.

A

he streamlined county government operations,, making record investments in critical infrastructure and public safety,.

A

Maintaining the county's top credit ratings without ever raising income or property taxes.

A

I worked closely with county executive kamenetz and he was a good and decent family man who was committed to public service.

A

And who cared deeply about equality and fairness.

A

Kevin kamenetz referred often to a quote from vice president, hubert humphrey:.

A

"It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life:. The children.

A

Those who are in the twilight of life: the elderly.

A

And those who are in the shadows of life:, the sick,, the needy, and the handicapped.".

I believe that kevin kamenetz's most enduring legacy.

A

Can be found in the two modern homeless shelters he built.

Social service, programs, and animal services.

He made a real difference and he will be missed.
