After our 1929 Wall Street crash and Depression, Congress passed a bill that contained regulations (Glass-Steagall) to prevent risky lending and investing, and keep banking and investing separate so that our savings would be protected.
In 1999, Wall Street, our Republicans and a majority of our Democrats voted to dismantle Glass-Steagall so that our economy would flourish.

The board of supervisors has the opportunity to help students of Carroll County by providing funds the state has denied.
Each program that may be cut has the potential to impact a student’s life. In fact, it was one of these programs that allowed me to find my career.
An art class provided by the school system influenced my future more than I could have imagined when I started school that year.
I had always liked art projects growing up, so when I had the opportunity to take a class at Carroll County Intermediate, I jumped at the chance.

We wish to thank the Carroll County Historical Society, the writer, the director, the cast and the community for giving the citizens the production “Thunder in the Hills.”
It was a well-done production from the script to the convincing, and sometimes exceptional, local talent of players.
The sacrifice of time and energy in bringing this play to life merits a standing ovation.
As outsiders, it clearly explained to us why [the 1912 Courthouse Tragedy] had such devastating effects on the community for so many and for so long.

To Carroll County and the Carroll Historical Society: thank you for a wonderful week in Carroll.
I am the great-great granddaughter of Jack Allen. My sister, Ann and our cousin, Jewel Jones (great-granddaughter of Jack Allen from Cape Cod, Mass.) and I came with some friends to see the play [during centennial events of the Carroll Courthouse shooting].
What a pleasant surprise! How that many amateurs did that and did it so well, is a wonder. Anyone who hasn’t seen it has really missed a good one.
