ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ Montgomery Parks and MTA finished a fish passage project at the Piney Branch Road stream underpass in Long Branch—restoring habitat for migratory fish.

FINANCE NEWS
- ➤ The Montgomery County Office of Consumer Protection released a podcast episode on financial tips for life transitions like job loss, relocation and retirement. It featured guidance from investigator Michelle Escobar + executive director Ira Rheingold to help listeners manage expenses and avoid scams. Montgomery Community Media
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Maryland’s emergency management agency is preparing for a busy hurricane season from June 1 through November because federal cuts have reduced grants and staffing, forcing the state to rely on low-interest loans—such as the Resilient Maryland Revolving Loan Fund—to protect communities. Officials say the loss of about $150 million in grants has created a 'perfect storm' of challenges for local emergency management. WTOP
- ➤ Maryland property owners will not see an increase in the state share of the property tax rate next year as the Board of Public Works voted unanimously on Wednesday to keep commercial and residential rates at 11.2 cents per $100 assessed value and utility rates at 28 cents per $100 assessed value—tax bills may still rise because counties have reported higher property assessments for seven consecutive years.
