Thanks @ELGL50 for helping me share this essay. It is a tribute to my Mom, an exploration of how memory works, and a reflection on the life lessons that have really stuck with me through the years.
In January, Andrew Kleine lost his mother, Gail, who he memorializes as "a force, a wonderful energy: frank, fierce, and fun." The lessons she shared through her public service and community leadership continue to endure: elgl.org/lessons-that-stuck-…

Thanks Emily for continuing to chronicle Camp Small’s journey. I hope people will add Camp Small to their giving plans this week.

In the days since the Camp Small fire, there’s been an outpouring of love. Dedicated customers have shared the site’s story and new customers have pledged to shop there. The city created a portal for donations secure.qgiv.com/for/campsmal…

An 8 team playoff would be more than sufficient.

How dumb was that Lions onside kick? Such a low probability move and completely unnecessary at that point in the game. Campbell needs to be smarter if this team is going to win the Super Bowl.

Great article by @Tim_Prudente about the magic of Camp Small. It is a wonderful example of government innovation. Let’s hope it rises from the ashes.
Before the fire, Baltimore’s Camp Small supplied wood for fine furniture and elephant toys buff.ly/49u5coo

Camp Small is a source of immense pride for me. It is an example of government at its best, turning waste into wealth. You can read about my emotional reaction to the fire at the end of Emily’s story.
What is Camp Small? It's the success story at the center of Thursday's fire in Baltimore thebaltimorebanner.com/polit…

This is a wonderful article about Camp Small, which is on fire right now. A decade ago, budget, rec and parks, and the sustainability office worked together to turn tree waste into public benefit. I’m sad right now. I hope Camp Small will rise from the ashes.

Camp Small does really cool work. If you’ve ever been to Cahill Rec Center, you’ve seen their product. Recycled street tree lumber lines every wall. Hoping the crew who works at the camp is safe. baltimoresun.com/2022/01/13/…

I was thrilled to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts. I hope you’ll take a listen.
This week, we're joined by Andrew Kleine from Ernst & Young, who talked to us about his work with outcome-based budgeting in local governments. We also talked to Andrew about preparing for the upcoming post-ARPA fiscal landscape. Listen here: player.captivate.fm/episode/…

This #CityHallSelfie is an all-timer for me. The London council still meets here, in the oldest secular building in The city.

Mack Brown leads a basketball school to a bowl game — again — and gets fired. Get over yourselves, UNC.
