Some of you are likely wondering why I haven't tweeted in a while, either about work at my new job or other things. On April 16, one of my sisters, Nataline Rose Kolbe, died in a car crash. Let me tell you about her (this will take multiple tweets)

I don't think the Frederick County community will ever really appreciate the ways Bill Green has served them over the years. He is literally everywhere.

Here is his obit, which asks for donations, if people are able, to a treatment center in Bucks County, PA--where my dad lived his entire life.

It's the first day of school in Montgomery County. Here's the scene outside Rosemary Hills Elementary in Silver Spring. Buses are also starting to pull in.

@BethesdaBonfire @BethesdaBeat @CaitlynnPeetz14 @PotomacPeck @DavidTBlair @MontCoExec Forget about the Elrich-Blair political race. The real political contest in Montgomery County, Maryland is between @BethesdaBonfire and @TakomaTorch

I'm at 11th St. and Liberty Ave., where the parade/march for Pittsburgh Pride 2023 is scheduled to begin at noon. @GovernorShapiro and @AustinDavisPA are scheduled to participate along the route, which will cross Andy Warhol bridge onto the North Side

Looks like another update has come through in the Montgomery County Executive race. @DavidTBlair has 46,824 votes, leading @MontCoExec , who has 46,693 votes. That's a 131-vote lead, which means Elrich gained 14 votes versus the last count.

@DandreaJimmy Jawando says testing should be required in school, per state regulation. Says people should have to opt-out, not opt-in to testing in schools. "We shouldn't be being held hostage to not getting state support, because we want to get people tested in school."

An update: Both @MontCoExec 's and @DavidTBlair 's campaigns say they stand by the Board of Elections' audit, and are glad it was caught before the election was certified.

I visited @Gr8FallsPark earlier today for the first time. The fact that the National Parks Service offers annual passes to this place for $35 is absolutely incredible. Residents in the region cannot take that for granted (Also NPS please don't raise the price now lol)

I have been corrected, rightfully so, that Quizon died by suicide. That's the proper language per @APStylebook . My apologies for getting that wrong

@justupthepike Wheaton and Silver Spring are fundamentally two different urban cores, both with a Metro station and various bus lines. Both have malls. Both have different major businesses. The issue is the "Silver Spring" mailing address covers WAY too big of a geographical area in the county.

A situation local reporters often find themselves in is calling someone to tell them about a proposed or recently passed policy/bill and ask how it would impact them, only to find out you're kind of revealing this information to said person for the first time.

The @baltimoresun news seems as good a reason as any to re-up this absolutely fantastic profile of @PottstownNews by @DanBarryNYT . The @MercuryX , where Brandt soldiers alone, is owned by Alden Global Capital.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Local elections are important, including in #MoCo , where there will be two new districts (11 total County Council members) and the county executive race. And a whole lot of other races. This job is important.

Today marks the last week @MoCoCouncilMD meets via Zoom as a full council. They're slated to return to Rockville next week. Therefore, it's also the last time we have the opportunity to see @CmHucker 's cat during meetings.
