    Some ~personal news~ I've decided not to re-sign with WBAL, and this will be my last week. It was a tough decision after 2 great years but the right one for my family and me, though we love it here. To those who trusted me w/ difficult and vulnerable stories: my sincere thanks.

    Tonight on @wbaltv11: A man with an AR-15 has been showing up for weeks to a school bus drop off for local elementary school students. Parents say their kids are afraid, the man says he’s protesting @GovWesMoore’s new gun control law. You’ll hear from both sides at 5+6pm.

    If you're interested, here's some of my previous reporting on similar issues in Rhode Island.
    #NEW: Dhamarys Murillo, who moved to RI from the Dominican Republic when she was 19, bought her "dream" home in December after decades of working four jobs. But rising sea levels have put that dream in doubt, leaving her searching for help. (1/2) wpri.com/target-12/ri-w…

    Many in RI have to choose between the cost of elevating their homes or the risk of losing them to rising seas or storms.
    #WATCH: If a 100 year storm hits Charlestown, flooding could reach more than a 1/4 mile inland. I joined @KimKalunian & @ShannonHegy to discuss why, despite the risk, few Charlestown homeowners are participating in a program to elevate homes. Full story: wpri.com/target-12/few-…

    #WATCH: Dr. Fauci on schools reopening: “We really better be very careful, particularly when it comes to children… For example, right now, children presenting with COVID-19 who actually have a very strange inflammatory syndrome very similar to Kawasaki’s syndrome.”
    Replying to @atrupar
    Fauci pushes back on Rand Paul's demand that schools reopen: "We don't know everything about this virus, and we really ought to be very careful, particularly when it comes to children."
