Montgomery: Alabama public health officials are warning people to avoid eating any fish from some state waterways because of contamination. The state Department of Public Health issued its latest fish consumption advisories this month. They are based on nearly 500 samples of specific fish species taken during the fall of 2020 from 41 bodies of water, health officials said. Restrictions on consumption are broken down by waterbody and presented as the safe number of meals of a species that can be eaten in a given period of time. In some locations, people are advised to avoid all fish. Mercury is often cited as the fish contaminant of concern.
Last yearâs replacement of disgraced Baltimore state delegate Cheryl Glenn with the House Majority Whipâs daughter was so egregious it might understandably leave the impression that the insiders club process is a city phenomenon, a Maryland Democratic Party thing.
First, the press was kicked out of the room, then the committee installed Chanel Branch as the 45th Districtâs representative, with Ms. Branch casting the deciding vote for herself. âIâm a daddyâs girl,â she quipped.
But itâs not just Baltimore lawmakers who get their ticket to Annapolis punched by a couple of party officials rather than a vote by the people. Thanks to the âcentral committeeâ selection system, voters in District 2A, in far Western Maryland, havenât had a choice for three terms.
