EASTON — The Talbot County Council granted a $172,000 request from Neighborhood Services of Talbot during its meeting Tuesday night, compensating for a significant federal cut to the nonprofit’s budget. Andy Hollis, the director of the nonprofit, told the council this “unfortunate” request is the result of federal cuts to funding used to aid the homeless during the winter months. As a result, Neighborhood Services will see a loss of $142,000. “That’s a 50% reduction in the amount of homelessness funds we use for eviction prevention and for putting people up that are homeless in our local hotel,” Hollis told the council. Hollis stressed that this is not a permanent solution to homelessness, but these services save lives when temperatures drop. An estimated 30 people used the resource last winter to avoid the cold. “This is a band-aid,” Hollis said. “This is not the way to solve homelessness, this is a way for us to put people up, especially in extreme weather conditions…that don’t have any other place to go and in freezing temperatures would run the risk of hypothermia or death, plain and simple.” The answer to a problem like this long-term, Hollis explained, would be a low-barrier homeless

EASTON — More ballots were counted at the Talbot County Board of Elections on Thursday, with additional mail-ins and provisionals being counted as the end of the election nears. Tammy Stafford, election director for the county, reported Thursday morning there were still 95 mail-in ballots and 317 provisional ballots to be counted. Out of those provisionals, the board approved 236 ballots to be counted in full, 75 to be partially counted, five to be rejected and one to be tabled, or postponed until tomorrow. The rejected ballots were not counted due to issues with mail-in votes already being counted or application complications. The tabled ballot was postponed for a lack of valid ID attached. Once the deadline officially passes at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning, the ballot will be rejected if a valid ID has not been submitted to the Board of Elections. The chairs of both the Talbot County Democratic and Republican Central Committees — Phil Jackson and Shari Wilcoxon, respectively — were in attendance Thursday morning, along with Republican county council candidates Frank Gunsallus and Wade Strickland.
