TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rally at 9:30 a.m. outside the County Administration Building, 150 Main St., Prince Frederick.

Public hearing at 10:30 a.m. on the six-month moratorium on data center site plan approvals, same building, Chesapeake Hearing Room.
⠀

The hearing gets recorded — it streams at www.youtube.com/. The rally doesn't. If you're outside at 9:30, take video and post it. That's the only part of tomorrow that disappears if nobody does.

Say what you came to say in the record. Written comments are accepted at the hearing and until the record closes.

I have a conference all day and can't be there. Good luck to everyone who will be! This is what we have all been working towards. Every meeting, every comment, every post, every conversation with a neighbor or a friend or somebody in your own family got us to a hearing. Tomorrow’s the one that counts!

Keep it respectful in there. The facts are strong enough on their own, and a room full of people who stay calm is harder to dismiss than one that doesn’t.
⠀

Stay classy, Calvert. You got this!

POST #29

THE STATE FOUND CALVERT VIOLATED THE OPEN MEETINGS ACT

Maryland's Open Meetings Compliance Board issued its opinion August 10.

Source:https://oag.maryland.gov/resources-info/Documents/pdfs/OMCB%20Opinions/20OMCB246.pdf

Two violations.

The statements filed before closing a meeting on March 11, March 18, and August 26, 2025 didn't describe the topics and gave no reason for excluding the public.

The summaries filed after the closed sessions of May 13, 2025 and April 28, 2026 were too vague. Both involved a business proposal.

On March 11, 2025, where the statement was supposed to list the topics, the county wrote “see memo.” The memo was written after the meeting ended. The board found that alone violated the law.

I pulled that same March 11, 2025 closing statement back in April and wrote about it in Post #13, dated April 19.

Post #13: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14ocNjskyjF/

The board rejected a third complaint about the county's website. It has no power to make the county do anything — its opinions are advisory.

The county told the state it has changed its protocol. It hasn't told us what changed.

Someone had to file a complaint to get this answered. That's the system working — anyone in Maryland can file one, it's free, and the form is on the Attorney General's website. But it's worth asking why it took a resident filing paperwork rather than the county reviewing its own practice.

The law requires the board to acknowledge this opinion at an open meeting. That's the moment to ask: what changed, and what happens to the sessions the state says fell short?

The opinion is linked above. Read it yourself.

11/08/2026

I've been in the middle of writing about what's actually driving electricity costs right now — how large loads on the grid get paid for, why a facility built anywhere in the regional grid can show up on our bills here, and why a company paying for its own infrastructure still doesn't mean the rest of us don't feel it.

But partway through I realized I was guessing at what people still have questions about.

Some of you already have a handle on this. Some of you don't, and that's completely reasonable — it's genuinely complicated, and a lot of it is decided in places most of us have never heard of. I'd rather answer the questions people actually have than the ones I assume they have.

There is also a lot of information landing all at once right now.

Our rates went up August 1. SMECO spent $124.8 million on power supply in January and February alone — 28 percent of what the cooperative spent on power for all of 2025, in two months.

Source: https://www.smeco.coop/about/news/cooperative-review/july_2026/articlethreejump/
⠀

And on August 5, the St. Mary's County Board of Education had to approve a $931,859 budget amendment to cover electricity costs that came in over budget. That money got moved out of instructional lines.

Source: https://thebaynet.com/rising-utility-costs-prompt-nearly-932000-budget-adjustment-for-st-marys-schools/

Same cooperative serves most of Calvert. So how does Calvert plan to handle it?
⠀

And that question isn't just for Calvert. However far this reaches — Charles, St. Mary's, anywhere in Maryland this finds you — same question. The grid doesn't stop at a county line and neither does the bill.

So — what are you still confused about? What are you worried about? Is there something you think needs to be addressed before next week?

Ask it here and let me go get answers. If there's a document, I'll find it. If there isn't one, I'll say that too.

If you have a SMECO account, you are not a customer. You are a member — an owner of the cooperative. You get a vote on five board seats and two bylaw changes, and it closes in three days.

This is not an endorsement of anyone. It is what is on the ballot and what it decides.

⠀
THE DEADLINE

Voting closes August 12, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. Ballots were mailed and emailed on July 13. You can vote by mail or online.

Online voting: https://www.directvote.net/SMECO

There is no on-site voting at the annual meeting. If you do not vote by Wednesday afternoon, you do not vote.

⠀
YOU CAN VOTE IN EVERY COUNTY, NOT JUST YOURS

This surprises a lot of members. Five seats are open — one in Calvert/Anne Arundel, one in Charles, one in Prince George's, and two in St. Mary's. Twelve candidates are running.

Members vote for candidates in all counties, not only their own.

SMECO has 15 directors serving staggered three-year terms, with five seats up each year.

Read them yourself and decide for yourself.

⠀
THIS IS A SOUTHERN MARYLAND VOTE, NOT A COUNTY VOTE

The fact that you vote in every county is not a technicality. It is the whole point.

SMECO serves Charles County, St. Mary's County, southern Prince George's County, and most of Calvert. The cooperative does not stop at a county line. Neither does the grid, and neither does the price.

A large load added in one county changes what the cooperative has to buy for everyone in it. A rate decision made for St. Mary's is a rate decision made for Lusby. A board seat filled in Charles County votes on the tariff that hits a bill in Prince Frederick.

Southern Maryland has spent a long time arguing county by county while the decisions that actually move our bills get made regionally — at PJM, at the Public Service Commission, and at this cooperative. The other side of these fights is organized regionally. We have not been.

This ballot is one of the few places where that is already fixed for us. Every member votes on every seat. Use it that way.

⠀
THERE ARE ALSO TWO BYLAW CHANGES ON THE BALLOT

These have gotten almost no attention, and one of them involves your money.

The first would amend the director oath of office to add a commitment to support Board policies as adopted from time to time by the Board.

The second concerns capital credits — the margins allocated to your account each year. Two changes are proposed:

The window before unclaimed credits are considered assigned to the cooperative would extend from three years to five.

And the use of those unclaimed funds would change. The current bylaw directs them to reduce the cost of electricity to the members. The proposed language strikes that and replaces it with assisting members under the cooperative's statutory powers, or making donations to non-profit charitable organizations approved by the Board of Directors.

Source: SMECO Notice of 2026 Annual Meeting, Proposed Bylaw Revisions. Link above.

In plain terms: money that currently lowers everyone's bill would instead be directed by the Board.

⠀
THE CONTEXT SMECO GIVES FOR IT

SMECO states the change conforms the bylaws to Maryland House Bill 227 and Senate Bill 561, signed April 22, 2025 and effective October 1, 2025, which provide that capital credits unclaimed more than five years after retirement are no longer treated as abandoned property and may be retained by the cooperative.

That is accurate, and worth knowing before you vote. The state law allows the cooperative to keep the funds. Where the funds go after that is decided by this bylaw.

⠀
WHAT SMECO SAYS ITS OWN PRINCIPLES ARE

SMECO publishes seven Cooperative Principles it says it adheres to. Two of them speak directly to this ballot.

Democratic Member Control states that cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting policies and making decisions, and that elected representatives are accountable to the membership.

Members' Economic Participation states that members allocate surpluses — including toward benefiting members in proportion to their transactions with the cooperative, and toward supporting other activities approved by the membership.

Source: SMECO, Cooperative Principles. https://www.smeco.coop/about/your-cooperative/cooperative-principles/

Those are SMECO's standards, not anyone else's. Read them next to the bylaw and reach your own conclusion.

⠀
TWO THINGS MOST MEMBERS DO NOT KNOW

Board service is a paid position. Per SMECO's most recent IRS Form 990, for fiscal year 2024, director compensation ranged from $27,150 to $42,200, with the Chairman at $42,200.

Source: IRS Form 990, Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, EIN 52-0492367, via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/520492367

And quorum is very small. SMECO has more than 151,000 members. Ballots cast by mail or online count toward a quorum of 500 participating members. Only 50 members need to attend in person.

⠀
WHY THIS PARTICULAR YEAR

The board elected this week will oversee the cooperative through decisions already scheduled.

Under Maryland law, SMECO must file its own large load tariff with the Public Service Commission by September 1, 2026. That filing determines how very large customers are billed and whether existing members end up subsidizing them.

THE ANNUAL MEETING

Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 6 p.m.
Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department Social Hall
28165 Hills Club Road, Mechanicsville, MD 20659

Results are announced at the meeting. Again — no voting on site.

⠀
THREE DAYS

More than 151,000 members. A quorum of 500 ballots. Fifty people in a room.

Every fight in Southern Maryland right now — the data centers, the substations, the rates, who pays for what — runs through decisions this board will make. The large load tariff is due in three weeks. The board voting on it is being chosen this week.

And what it costs you to participate is opening an email and clicking a ballot.

If turnout is low again, no one has to explain that. It becomes the answer. Boards that are never seriously contested stop expecting to be. That is not a theory about anyone's character. It is just what happens when nobody is watching.

You own this cooperative. Nobody has to give you permission to act like it.

Read the bios. Read the bylaw change. Vote by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

And send this to someone in Charles, St. Mary's, or Prince George's. Their vote counts in your county too.

👀🫣😳 in work meetings all day but I’m assuming they announced this at the BOCC meeting today?

31/07/2026

I’M STILL HERE
⠀
I took a break after the primary elections. This clever tiger was a very tired one, and sometimes work, family, kids, animals, mounting bills... I’m looking at you SMECO…. you know... life gets in the way.
⠀
I applaud those of you who have kept going strong. I may have been quiet, but I have been here. I just refuse to post anything that isn't fact-based and sourced to the best of my ability — and that takes time. Lots of time. I am very thankful to my family who understood the importance of the mission and I’m thankful to all of you understanding I needed a bit of a break.
⠀
And while I was recharging, you all did something. June and July proved that our voices will be heard, no matter what anyone calls us. Funny thing about facts: they don't care if they were typed by a "keyboard warrior." A document says the same thing whether it's read from a podium or a couch.
⠀
But I have to say this part with kindness: I'm watching the dreaded shift. We won a round and now everyone is turning the proverbial pitchforks on each other. That has to stop. People are allowed to have different opinions — that's the whole point of all of this - democracy. Mine, for the record: to me, the potential cons outweigh any pro I've seen put on the table for data centers. Others see it differently, and they get to. The record is where we sort it out, not the comment section.
⠀
Because the work is not done. Here's what's still on our plate:
⠀
SPEAK NOW — AUGUST 17 AND 18
⠀
The public hearing on the proposed six-month data center moratorium is Tuesday, August 18 at 10:30 a.m., Chesapeake Hearing Room, 150 Main St., Prince Frederick. Advance written comments must be received by 4:30 p.m. Monday, August 17, by email to [email protected]. The county's own notice says the ordinance "may be substantively modified, revised, amended or otherwise changed, based upon comments received in the record."

Translation: your comments can change the words. Whatever your opinion — yes, no, longer, shorter — put it in the record where it counts.

Source: https://calvertcountymd.gov/DocumentCenter/View/57292/Draft-Ordinance---Adoption-of-a-Temporary-Moratorium-on-Data-Center-Approvals
⠀
WHAT IF IT'S VOTED DOWN?
⠀
Fair question, and everyone should be asking it before August 18, not after. If the moratorium fails, nothing pauses. The AWS site plan application keeps moving through review. The zoning text amendments — the actual rules — remain the only lever, and staff already said that work was paused. So "then what?" is a question for the five people on the dais that morning, and for every candidate on the ballot in November: if not a pause, then what is the plan? Ask it. In the record, at forums, at your door. A no vote does not end this conversation — it just removes the deadline.
⠀
WATCH THE WORK, NOT JUST THE VOTE
⠀
A moratorium is not a victory lap — it's homework with a deadline. If it passes, the six months exist for studies and zoning text amendments, and the current board holds the pen through December 15. A pause is also not a withdrawal: the AWS site plan application is still active. We keep watching.
⠀
SEPTEMBER 1
⠀
The State of Maryland's Data Center Impact Analysis and Report is due to the Governor and General Assembly — the statewide homework on environmental, energy, and economic impacts that everyone has been waiting on.

Source: https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/SB0116?ys=2025RS
⠀
NOVEMBER 3
⠀
Every commissioner seat is on the ballot. And here is a genuine wish: it would be nice to see those running switch from arguing about data centers to telling us what they would actually DO in office. There are so many more topics than data centers. And be wary of any blanket promise — "I will never raise taxes" sounds great, but nobody can predict the future, and a promise that ignores reality is not a plan (that’s not a personal attack just an in general thing people promise).
⠀
Every one of us has something we'd fight for — schools, blossoming farms, quiet nights, low bills, less traffic, all of it. As someone with children, mine is the schools: "Calvert has the best schools" is the hat this county has hung everything on for years. But when the schools are funded at the bare minimum, cracks will start to show — and a title is not permanent. The job of the people asking for our votes is to listen to ALL of it and do what's best for the county as a whole. That means working together. Ask the candidates specific questions. Expect specific answers. Then hold whoever wins to them.
⠀
AND THEN IT MOVES FAST
⠀
The new board is seated December 15. The 2027 session of the Maryland General Assembly convenes January 13 — four weeks later — with the September 1 data center report in hand and statewide decisions on the table. If the moratorium passes, it expires just weeks after that. There is no warm-up period. Whoever we elect has to hit the ground running, and that only works with team players willing to work together for the common good. Keep that in mind in November.

Let’s not forget this is all of Maryland all of the PJM grid…. But there are more issues than just data centers.
⠀
ONE LAST THING
⠀
I'm not here just to be here. I'm here to help get answers — to your questions, and to the ones nobody has thought to ask yet. So tell me: What have I missed? What are you worried about? What do you think no one is talking about?
⠀
You can comment below, DM this page, or email [email protected]. Anything you share with me stays confidential. Always has, always will. I only post facts, not gossip — but between us, there's usually a little truth hiding behind the gossip, and that's exactly where the digging starts.
⠀
The documents and information kept coming while I was “gone”. Numbered posts are coming, and not just about data centers. Good to be back.

Have a great weekend!

23/06/2026

Today, your voice is your vote.

It’s only the primary — but this is where the choices for November actually get narrowed down, and turnout is usually small enough that every single vote carries real weight.

Every decision in this county runs through the people who fill these seats. The beginning, the middle, or the end of your child’s public schooling rests on their shoulders — and so does far more than that.

This is bigger than any one issue. It’s a right we have as Americans to let our voices be heard, and no one needs to tell you how to use yours.

So get out there — whatever your vote is.

🗳️ Today is Primary Election Day!

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and same-day voter registration is available at all polling locations.

Post #28 A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF DATA CENTER ALLEY
⠀
I flew into Dulles recently and took some pictures out the window on the way down (see the photos below). I want to show you what I saw, because numbers on a page don't land the way the view from the sky does.
⠀
I know this is Northern Virginia. And I know Calvert isn't Northern Virginia, so maybe we shouldn't be comparing the two at all. But the commissioners keep doing it — so here we are.
⠀
That bright blue building in the photos is one of NTT's data centers. Here is what NTT publishes about one of its Ashburn buildings, VA3: 112,000 square feet of data floor space, 16 megawatts of critical IT load, in a two-story building.
⠀

https://services.global.ntt/en-us/pdf-viewer/bd89e876-0692-4a5a-b28c-9d3943bf34a5
⠀
That is one building. NTT's full Ashburn operation is nine data centers, planned across two campuses. At full build-out, NTT states it is designed to reach 224 megawatts of critical IT load and 970,000 square feet of data floor space.
⠀

⠀
Now Calvert. The Appeal Digital Park proposed in Lusby is, in the developer's own words, being designed for 300 megawatts of power at peak capacity, with an application already made to SMECO for 300 megawatts to be delivered to the site. The fact sheet describes four buildings of roughly 220,000 square feet each, about 70 feet tall.
⠀
Source: Appeal Digital Park FAQ and Fact Sheet, Natelli Holdings
https://www.appealdigitalparkcalvertmd.com/fa-qs-and-fact-sheet/
⠀
So set them next to each other. NTT's entire nine-building Ashburn campus is designed for 224 megawatts. One proposed Calvert project is designed for 300. The two are measured a little differently — NTT reports critical IT load, the developer reports peak power capacity — so read this as scale, not a meter-for-meter match. But the scale is the point.
⠀
I'm not telling you what to feel about that. I'm showing you the published numbers and the view from the window, and asking you to picture four 70-foot buildings like the ones in these photos sitting in Lusby — just on the park land we were promised. And that's before you even count the separate project on the Constellation side.
⠀
If you want to see just how many different companies are packed into that one stretch of Northern Virginia, here's a map of them all. Look for yourself:

The Commissioner and the Marina
⠀
Todd Ireland is a Calvert County commissioner, and since December 16, 2025, president of the Board. His official county biography describes nearly 29 years as a Calvert County Sheriff's Deputy, retiring as a captain in 2021, and notes that he has worked on the water his entire life, fishing and crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River. He lives on his family's farm in Huntingtown.

⠀
Recently he sat for two interviews where he was invited to talk about himself — one with Logan Nagle, one with Dylan Johnson. Both times he told the same story that's in his bio: his sheriff's career and his life on the water, fishing and crabbing. Neither time did he mention the business he runs now.

⠀
It shows up on his public filings, though. His annual financial disclosure statement on file with the county lists Jetty Marine Services LLC. Those statements are public records — not posted online, but open for review in person at the County Administration office, 175 Main Street, Prince Frederick.
⠀

A search of Jetty Marine Services LLC turns up a May 2025 press release for the Solomons Inn Resort + Marina. It states that Solomons Harbor Marina (located in the Lusby Town Center) is now operated by Jetty Marine Services LLC, and it lists Todd Ireland as the contact, at 410-474-7919.
⠀
Source: https://www.pr.com/press-release/937022
⠀
The marina and the resort aren't owned by Ireland or by Jetty Marine Services LLC, though. Both waterfront parcels — 205 Holiday Drive, where the marina sits, and 155 Holiday Drive, the resort hotel — are owned by Solomons Joint Venture LLC.
⠀

That distinction matters, because I've seen it said that Commissioner Ireland owns a marina, and I haven't found any record showing that. What the records show is narrower: he runs one — Solomons Harbor Marina — through Jetty Marine Services LLC, and it's happening at the same time the Solomons Inn Resort + Marina, the property it's part of, is undergoing a major redevelopment under new ownership.

Through all of it, Commissioner Ireland hasn't been the one to bring any of it up.

I'll be honest about why I'm posting this one. I keep getting messages asking whether Commissioner Ireland owns a marina, so I went and looked. This is what the public record shows — no more, no less. It's a bit of a one-off from what I usually dig into, but enough people asked that I figured I'd put what I found in one place.
⠀
Every piece of this is a public record. Read them for your self.

12/06/2026

Todd Ireland’s campaign page lists, under “Historic Investment in Education”: dedicated over 40% of the operating budget to schools, “increased funding year-over-year,” and “exceeded state requirements.”

You can read it in his own words here:
https://sites.google.com/view/ireland4calvert/home
⠀
Set that next to the record.
⠀
The part the commissioners actually control is the local contribution to Calvert County Public Schools. In FY25 and FY26, the Board held that local contribution at Maintenance of Effort — the legal minimum a Maryland county can give its schools without losing state aid. Not a target. The floor.
⠀
“Increased year-over-year” and “the legal minimum” are not opposites. A number can go up and still be the least the law allows. That’s what this was.
⠀
And “exceeded state requirements” — Maintenance of Effort IS the state requirement. Meeting the minimum is not exceeding it.
⠀
It’s also worse than just holding the line. In FY25 the county required the school board to spend $22.5 million of its own fund balance to absorb a state-aid cut, and to cut 3% across the board with no layoffs allowed. When that state aid came back the next year — about $21 million, part of the largest overall state-aid increase of any county in Maryland — the county kept the local contribution at the floor and put none of the recovery back into school funding. The $22.5 million the schools spent was never replaced.
⠀
All while the county sits on roughly $104 million in unassigned fund balance — about $73 million above its own adopted reserve policy. School funding is a lawful use of that money. The commissioners chose the floor.
⠀
“40% of the budget” is true and beside the point — schools are the biggest piece of any county budget. The question was never the percentage. It’s that the part the commissioners decide was set at the minimum.
⠀
I documented every line of this — the motion, the dollar figures, the letters to the Governor, the fund balance — in Post #17, each claim sourced to a primary document.

Read it and decide for yourself:
