DNC live coverage: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, DNC delegates watch for celebrities and hold out hope for Beyoncé
Aug. 19—The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, the state’s education reform plan, invests billions of dollars into public education over a decade, but that money is designated for very specific programs. School boards are left paying for other services with the remaining flexible funds and banking on county governments to approve huge requests above the legal funding requirement. Not all counties can afford to cover the gaps. Programs are cut and positions eliminated to save money, resulting in larger class sizes and involuntary teacher transfers.
On Saturday, Gov. Wes Moore said adjustments may be needed to effectively enact the education reform policy in light of the state’s fiscal woes. Do you think Maryland leaders should make adjustments to the state’s education reform plan?

The incident happened at around 7:15 p.m., when officers responded to the 8500 block of Loch Raven Blvd following multiple reports of a shooting, Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said.
“This is an incident that is shocking, particularly for those of us in Baltimore County,” Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski said. “These types of incidents are really unheard of here, so it really shocks the conscience.”
The first officer to arrive on the scene found a vehicle on its side that had caught fire, Mccullough said.
The Baltimore County Fire Department was called to the scene, where they put out the fire, treated victims and transported them to a hospital, said Baltimore County Fire Department Chief Joseph Dixon.
BCPD believes the shooting was a targeted incident and there is no threat to the public.
BCPD is currently investigating and is asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact them.
The Baltimore County Fire Department and the Baltimore Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are also on the scene assisting police.

Maryland man sentenced for assaulting police during Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection
BALTIMORE — A Fredrick County man was sentenced Tuesday for assaulting police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
According to prosecutors, Adam Ryan Obest, 43, of Thurmont attended the “Stop the Steal” rally before going to the Captiol’s Lower West Terrace.
Video footage showed Obest holding a large American flag attached to a metal flagpole, and swinging it at police officers after being told not to advance up a stairway.
Minutes later, Obest engaged in another confrontation with police, raising the lagpole above his head and bringing it down abruptly toward a line of police officers before another officer tried to confiscate the flagpole.
He also attempted to take a baton from a Metropolitan Police Department officer and later threw a smoke grenade at law enforcement, according to court documents.
In June 2023 detectives identified Obest as a suspect, matching photos from his social media account to photos captured of him at the Million MAGA March in November 2020. The photos showed an American glag tattoo on his left shoulder, which resembled a similar tattoo shown in his booking photos from an unrelated arrest in 2018.
The FBI arrested Obest in Maryland on June 13, 2023. He was found guilty of two felony charges, including civil disorder, and one count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a law enforcement officer.
Obest was sentenced to 18 months in prison and 36 months of supervised released.
