At the time, Gov. Eric Holcomb’s emergency orders to combat COVID-19 had been in effect for eight months. They had restricted schools, businesses and public events in various ways.
State lawmakers believed those decisions should be made in partnership with 150 elected legislators, instead of by a single man or woman.
Now, it’s been a year since Holcomb took sole charge of protecting public health - much like other governors across the nation.
From all the ideas at the Statehouse, the power-sharing plan that emerged is Senate Bill 407, with our Sen. Sue Glick, R-LaGrange, as the lead author.
We think senators made a good choice when they passed Glick’s bill by a 38-8 vote on Feb. 23 and sent it to the House of Representatives for action.

County Seeks to Eliminate Street Names Honoring Confederates, Slaveowners
In an attempt to rid Montgomery County of street names tied to the Confederacy and slavery, employees of the Montgomery County Planning Department, part of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), currently are researching area street and park names.
In Potomac, Jubal Early Court, J.E.B. Stuart Road and J.E.B Stuart Court will be renamed under the Streets and Parks Facilities Renaming Project, which is a joint effort with the Planning Board, Montgomery Planning and the Montgomery County Parks Department.
These street names are in “a subdivision that was created many decades after the Civil War that appear to intentionally use Jeb Stuart’s name in order to valorize and honor the Confederate cause,” said Casey Anderson, chair of the planning board. New names have not yet been chosen.
