This story was updated at 4:50 p.m. on Jan. 13, 2021, to clarify current county policy regarding renaming of streets and parks.
Montgomery County officials are moving forward with plans to rename three street names that honor Confederates.
It’s part of the county’s ongoing effort to identify and rename streets, facilities and trails that honor Confederates, Confederate sympathizers, and slaveholders.
The County Council discussed the renaming effort on Tuesday afternoon two days before the Planning Department will introduce a resolution to begin the process of renaming the three streets: Jubal Early Court, J.E.B. Stuart Road, and J.E.B. Stuart Court.
Clarksburg Tavern’s ‘USA Themed Party’ Under Investigation
A Montgomery County inspector visited The Clarksburg Tavern, on Frederick Road, Jan. 11, six days after they hosted a “USA Themed Party” that was sponsored by Robin Ficker, who is running for Maryland governor on the Republican ticket.
The county received information about the 6 p.m. party and decided to investigate. Information “will be analyzed and appropriate actions taken,” said Mary Anderson, spokesperson for the county’s Health and Human Services Department. “We would expect a decision early next week” on whether any action will be taken, she said.
Photos of the party that were posted on Twitter showed maskless patrons eating and drinking indoors, which is prohibited by the county as part of its COVID-19 restrictions.
Majority of county delegation backs bill limiting eviction powers
Six delegates opposed because burden of proof is on landlord
January 7, 2021 | 11:21 pm
Montgomery County landlords might have to provide just cause for evicting a tenant from a residential property if a state bill limiting eviction powers passes this year.
The Montgomery County Stable Homes Act would prohibit an eviction of a tenant holding over beyond the expiration of a lease in the absence of just cause. Landlords would be required to prove certain facts regarding the just cause of eviction.
Montgomery County’s 24 state delegates discussed the bill and others during a meeting Thursday morning for votes on whether to pursue, amend or withdraw them.
