Mayor Joseph Fisona informed the town board that he was not ready to give up on the restoration of commuter rail service for Elkton, despite disappointing news from the federal government. The mayor and town administrator Lewis George are going to travel to Annapolis to see if the town can get additional support from Delegate David Rudolph and Senator Nancy Jacobs.
Purpose
Originally concentrating on saving some Public Open Space Elkton proposed selling to a developer, we expanded the blog's focus once the Mayor and Commissioners abandoned the attempt. During the nearly year-long process, Someone Noticed found that many important subjects at town meetings weren’t being covered by the media and we also established a regular readership. In consideration of all these elements, we are now focusing more broadly on the “411 on the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Elkton” and subjects of broad civic interest to the Greater Elkton Community, especially when it isn't covered by other media.
