📰 News we're reading

• Speed Humps Considered To Slow Traffic Around Howard Park (patch.com) — Bel Air residents in the Howard Park neighborhood are pressing town leaders to act on a new traffic study recommending speed humps on Kelly Avenue and other safety measures on nearby streets. Commissioners say Kelly Avenue fixes are their top priority and are searching for funding, while also weighing emergency response concerns and increased development near Harford Mall that could further affect neighborhood traffic.
   

• Rutledge Backs Notice and a Hearing for Officers Before They Land on 'Do Not Call' Lists (mdbaynews.com) — Bel Air readers are hearing directly from Maryland attorney general candidate Jim Rutledge, who in a local-datelined statement backs giving police officers notice and a hearing before they're placed on Brady or Giglio "Do Not Call" lists. The detailed explainer walks through how such lists work, why unions and civil liberties groups clash over them, and what questions remain if the proposal reaches Annapolis.
