Eric thanks for the story, that's my friend. I got the same email and I pressed the fish button and went on.

A

I'm glad you had time to play with these guys. That's good, um a couple things if you were.

A

Around this past weekend, the food trucks the fairgrounds came out. It was pretty successful.

A

Slow it on friday, but pretty good on saturday and sunny so for all those people like the carnival.

A

Food, thank you for showing up this week opens our farmers markets officially for the summer.

A

So the ba parking lot will open up at nine and the red barn down by gate. Three will.

A

Open up at night, so uh I've been there the last few weeks and we're doing a lot.

A

Better, at least at the red barn, with the social distancing vendors facing out vendors facing in.

A

Please stop down not a lot of things to go yet, but a lot of plants. If you're looking for vegetables.

A

And things like that, they're all out there going, um we can't forget house bill 655, so hb 65 was.

A

Introduced by brian crosby, obviously it's been probably spent a lot of time in annapolis.

A

It failed when it got to the senate, but senator ferguson said something very.

A

Important the bill will be back next year and it will be introduced by the speaker of the house.

A

A speaker's bill gets approved, never seen a speaker's bill. Yet in all the years, I've.

A

Watched napos not get through it'll get to the senate. Senator fergus's message was loud and clear.

A

You have saint mary's county some time to fix your problems. Same would be true of the other.

A

Four counties that got suckered into this deal too, so this, commissioner, will be working with the.

A

Rest of our commissioners to find a solution, so we don't have to worry about hb, 655 and whatever form.

A

Comes back when it gets reintroduced next year, because we're responsible to our citizens to do.

A

What's best for them not to do what's best for a self, a few self-serving individuals out there.

A

And lastly, as commissioner hewitt said, we'll have a budget hearing tonight and I understand.

A

There'll be food trucks and cone ice out front and a lot of people. I want to make sure they.

A

Understand something really clear: we support education. We support our sheriffs. We support.

A

The health department, we support everything but there's only so much money to go around and I.

A

Think it's important understand we're not here to be. You know who is the character in uh dickens.

A

um Scrooge scrooge yeah. Thank you. We're not here to be scrooch we're trying to be.

A

Marley and try to help everybody out, but what I've heard is you know? Teachers were bad too.

A

The sheriff were being bad too, but the county employees can't speak in this because they work.

A

For us so believe me, the county employees, if you're out there listening you're not going to.

A

Get left in the wayside in this either and, as I've always said, everybody gets treated fairly at the.

A

End of the day, I've said it for 10 years. I've got two more to go, so everyone's going to get treated.

A

Fairly, I think, as commissioner stewart said, let's cut back on the drama. Let's look at the reality of.

A

This situation: let's look at the big picture here and realize: there's a long road to ho until we get.

A

Till the end of may and then there's recurring costs that last for a number of years and we're.

A

Going to address all these things gradually, so just please, let's, let's thank you for the letters.

A

Thank you for everything we talked to specifically mr slater and miss penrod who came to visit. Mr.

A

Hugh and I last week and we'll get through this, we always have. We always will with that. Thank you.
