Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development Announces New Opportunity Zone Designations

ANNAPOLIS, MD – The Department of Housing and Community Development today announced Maryland’s nomination of 114 census tracts as Opportunity Zones under the federal Opportunity Zone program, which provides tax benefits to incentivize high-impact investments in low-income communities. Counties across Maryland submitted nominations of individual census tracts to the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. The department then worked with local officials, business owners, investors, and community development experts to evaluate the proposed areas and identify where Opportunity Zone designations would have the greatest benefit to their communities. Last month, the department submitted the state’s approved and recommended census tracts to the United States Department of the Treasury. On November 5, the U.S. Treasury released the official 2.0 designations.

Concerns arise over Virginia law allowing accused or convicted criminals to seal records

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (7News) — A new law went into effect in Virginia that makes it easier for accused criminals to seal their alleged crimes from public view. Supporters insist the idea behind the law was to help accused and convicted criminals get jobs and housing. But the new law also makes it more difficult for the public to find out if prosecutors botched or dropped cases and allowed criminals to walk free.

The calm after the election storm

The election has come and gone – citizens cast their votes, nearly all ballots have been counted and winners and losers have acknowledged who will be making decisions at the public level for the next several years. Southern Maryland News editorial staff worked tirelessly in the months leading up to Tuesday's election to provide information to voters about local candidates, from commissioners and school boards to state delegates and senators, in Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's counties. On Election Day, our staff writers were out talking to voters, taking pictures and capturing the general mood of the day. By about 11 p.m. that night we had stories and graphics ( www.somdnews.com/news/elections/results ) on our website with results. The next day we called candidates and examined the results a little deeper, writing stories for today's print edition of Southern Maryland News. Pick up a copy on a local newsstand or check out those stories and more in our newsletter below. For those that enjoy video, our Riley Dauber appeared on a midterm election roundtable with some of our colleagues at a sister paper in Montana. You can check that out on YouTube by clicking this link: youtube.com/marylandmidterm . As always, thank

NRA-ILA: Election Results Put Second Amendment Rights Under Immediate Threat

FAIRFAX, VA — NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) Executive Director John Commerford issued the following statement in response to last night's election results:. "Last night's results put progressive majorities in control of Congress and additional state houses across the country, leaving the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans under direct and immediate threat. The NRA is ready to stand and fight in Congress, the courts, and in every state where those rights are at risk. This is not the time to sit idly by and lick our wounds—it's the time to stand up, engage, organize, and join the fight to protect the Second Amendment. The only way we stop this radical gun-grabbing agenda is if gun owners get activated to defend their rights and work tirelessly to elect pro-gun politicians in 2028."
