In the past, the trustees took turns being chairman/chairwoman....what's up with skipping over Kemmerer???? Geez - you'd think he's an ORRD member or something!! Maybe he isn't a "native" of Baltimore. Yeah - that's probably it!!!

Wondering if Zoning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals positions were posted for applicants??? I remember such a fuss being made at trustee meetings when other trustees were in office. Guess it is OK now that those troublesome folks are no longer in office! Wow voting is so important!
