With special guests from across the state and the occasional world-famous dad joke, Conduit Street keeps you informed, engaged, and ready for what’s next.

    Whether you’re a policymaker, a public servant, or just policy-curious, this is your front-row seat to Maryland’s political landscape.

    Technological change continues to advance rapidly - public policy needs to catch up. Your county likely has cable television franchise agreements built for the 1980s, but what is your role in the telecommunications market of the 2020s?

    At this year's MACo Winter Conference, special guests joined Michael Sanderson and Kevin Kinnally for a live recording of the Conduit Street podcast. The fast-paced, Q&A-style session focused on opportunities and challenges concerning the county role in the telecommunications market of the 2020s -- including regulation, rights-of-way, taxation, community access, and first amendment issues encountered along the way.

    Panelists:

    • Arthur Scott, Associate Legislative Director, National Association of Counties (NACo)
    • Joanne Hovis, President, CTC Technology and Energy
    • Michael Sanderson, Executive Director, MACo
    • Kevin Kinnally, Associate Director, MACo

    The 2019 MACo Winter Conference, “Building for the Future,” was held on December 4-6, 2019, at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Hotel in Cambridge, Maryland. This year’s conference focused on county governance challenges and best practices – from the foundation to the rooftop – that will decide Maryland’s future.

    On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Kevin Kinnally and Michael Sanderson discuss the final meeting of the [Kirwan] Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education's Formula Funding Workgroup.

    With this week’s adoption of the funding plan details for the Blueprint for Maryland program, we break down the eventual county costs – and place them into a context with current law, in addition to current trends. We estimate the new mandated county costs at $1.9 billion in FY 2030 dollars – about $900 million more than the DLS-forecasted costs of the fully phased-in Kirwan plan, in FY 2030 dollars, as presented to the Workgroup.
