Keeping You in the Loop
BGE has announced a relief fund for residential customers. Their press release can be found here: Governor Moore Joins BGE and United Way of Central Maryland to Announce BGE Customer Relief Fund to Help Reduce Burden of Energy Bills | BGE - An Exelon Company
Starting July 1st, limited and middle-income customers will be able to apply for one-time grants ranging from $250 to $750, credited directly to their BGE accounts.
Fund Details:
The Harford County Department of Public Works will close the Abingdon Road Bridge over the CSX railroad tracks, located between U.S. 40 (Pulaski Highway) and Shrewsbury Road, beginning on or about Monday, June 16, for approximately eight weeks.
The closure is necessary for utility companies to relocate their infrastructure in preparation for a future bridge replacement project. During the closure, the DPW Highway Maintenance Division will also perform routine bridge maintenance.
Emergency vehicles and school buses will not be permitted across the bridge at any time. Motorists who use this bridge should follow the detour signs or make other arrangements.
Questions about the closure may be directed to 410-638-3509 extension 1392.

The map below shows the detour that will be in place throughout the closure.
Traffic heading to southbound MD 24 will be detoured to the off-ramp at Exit 77 B and will make a left onto westbound MD 924 before making another left onto the on-ramp to southbound MD 24. The map below shows the detour that will be in place throughout the closure.

HB1243: Health Insurance - Coverage for Specialty Drugs
Together, we can continue to improve the health and wellbeing of everyone across the state!
Across the state of Maryland, fewer than 20% of our citizens reside in legitimate municipalities. What this means is that there are communities that are not being provided updated infrastructure development, efficient local services, and a lack of local governance.
Our office is working with the Maryland Municipal League to shine a light on making a positive change to empower our constituents.
In the 2025 Legislative Session, Delegate Johnson was the primary sponsor of HB 768: Municipal Incorporation - County Commissioners or County Council - Required Approval of Referendum Request.
Our work on this issue continues through the interim period.
