With less than a month left in the 2023 General Assembly session, legislation aiming to increase maximum penalties for first-time misdemeanor gun offenses may end up changing forms.
The legislation, backed by Baltimore City State’s Attorney Ivan Bates, seeks to raise the maximum penalty for illegal gun possession for first-time offenders who are 21 and older from three years to five; current law sets the five-year maximum penalty for offenders between 18 years old and 20.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Luke Clippinger held a hearing on the legislation in February, but the bill was not voted on at that time and another hearing hasn’t been scheduled. The legislation is sponsored by Del. Frank Conaway, D-Baltimore City, in the House and Baltimore City Democratic Sen. C...

As Baltimore's population shrinks, there are renewed questions whether the size of Baltimore's city council should shrink too.
Baltimore's 15-member council is larger than any other city council in Maryland and in many other major cities.
The city of Los Angeles also has 15 members on it's council, however, the city is six times the size of the city of Baltimore.
In Charlotte, NC, eleven people sit on the city council and govern a population much larger than Baltimore.
The Charlotte city council also operates on a budget of just less than a million dollars.
Baltimore's city council operates on a $9 million dollar budget.
"The more people you have the more chaos you're going to have," said David Williams, President of Taxpayers Protection Alliance.

Beginning April 1, 2023, yard materials will be collected separately for recycling from Baltimore County residents with “Y” days on their schedule.
These separate yard material collections will occur from April 1 through as late as December 14. If a resident’s schedule has no “Y” days, their yard materials will continue to be collected with trash year-round.
County regulations require that yard materials set out for separate “Y” day collection must be placed in heavy-duty paper lawn and leaf bags or bundled with non-plastic string. For these set-outs, plastic bags will not be accepted.
Yard materials acceptable for recycling collection include grass, leaves, vines, twigs, shrubbery trimmings, branches and limbs. Branches and limbs will be collec...

Major changes are in the making for Maryland's "concealed carry" law.
The Maryland State Senate made the Gun Safety Act less restrictive before sending the measure to the House for its consideration.
According to the bill's sponsor, the changes make it more constitutional. Second amendment advocates agree but will likely be pushing for the house to make even more changes.
Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee Vice-Chair Jeff Waldstreicher, D-District 18, said the revisions were necessary.
"The bill, as introduced, may have been written too broadly, and it was a challenge to defend constitutionally. So, we came back, we redrafted the bill in a way, I think, is simultaneously both narrower and stronger," he said.
Proposed changes include dropping the prohibition on carrying a ...

Baltimore City residents are fed-up with their recycling piling up. After more than a year of rolled back services, some are ready to take their concerns to court.
Baltimore City residents who agree weekly recycling should be restored can sign the petition by clicking here.
"For us, it was the only avenue left. You know, once it became clear that there was no intention of restarting weekly recycling," said Baltimore City resident Desmond Stinnie.
Stinnie says he has twice the recycling post-pandemic.
"Everything is an amazon package," he said.
But with half the pick-ups, there's constantly an overflow of cardboard boxes in his backyard.
The city now has 30 days to respond to the lawsuit. FOX45 reached out to the city's law department and the Department of Public Works ...

Some of the Laws of Seudah Shelishis
Question #1: Min haTorah or not?
Is eating three meals on Shabbos a Torah requirement?
Question #2: Shaloshudis?
Why do most people slur the word and pronounce it as shaloshudis? Should it not be called seudah shelishis?
Question #3: Three and over
What is required to be eaten for the third meal on Shabbos?
Answer:
The mitzvah of celebrating Shabbos is mentioned by the prophet Yeshayahu (58:13), in his famous words, vekarasa laShabbos oneg, “And you shall call Shabbos a delight.” Although this observance is not mentioned in the written Torah, many authorities rule that it has a halachic status of being min haTorah. It may be included in the Torah’s words mikra’ei kodesh (Vayikra 23:2, see Ramban, as explained by Shaar H...

'There is a new generation of people who believe the only solution is armed struggle'
A spokesman for the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group called on Israeli Arabs to start an intifada, an armed uprising.
Speaking after large-scale military drills were held in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, Abu Hamza threatened that "the Islamic Jihad will cause the stupid enemy to be worn down by launching rockets in its direction, since the organization has many other means of warfare that will hurt the enemy."
"We call on all the fighters among our people and the free people in the West Bank and in Israel to mobilize for this war, so that there will be an overall intifada that will create the basis for the end of our enemy and its expulsion from a...

Bnei Yisroel were redeemed from Mitzrayim on Pesach. The Ramban, in his psicha for Chumash Shemos, says that galus will not end until Bnei Yisroel return to their place and to the “maalos” of their avos (forefathers.) When Bnei Yisroel left Mitzrayim, they left the house of slavery, but they were still considered in galus because they were in the midbar and not in their own land. When they arrived at Har Sinai and made the mishkon, they reached the maaleh of the avos. Only through the defeat of the yetzer hora will they reach true “cheirus.”
This is the milchama that is brought down in C...
