PG-Politics-Briefs: Recent Prince George's County News (26 Jun 2015)

Announcements:

Recent Prince George's County News updates are currently posted to both PG-Politics and PG-Politics-Briefs. Older issues may be shortened and require a click to read the full text. Copies are routinely emailed to three local mailing lists.
The Enquirer-Gazette (sole surviving Prince George's County edition of the defunct Gazette chain) now has a page on the Southern Maryland Newspapers website.
The list of local news sources used for this compilations has been partially updated and is still under construction.
A list of 2016 candidates for U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, Districts 4 and 5, is also online but still under construction.
Social media information for the lists of 2016 candidates, council members, and legislators will be added when available, but this will be a passive, not active effort. Send updates to pgpolitics@gmail.com.
Notices of political events of candidates and elected officials may be posted as they becomes available, but this will be another passive, not active effort. Tweets with time, location, and link to details preferred. Emails with basic details that are only in non-text, non-html attachments or links (like .doc and .pdf files) go to the bottom of the priority list.
