Tonight’s my last council meeting at @HyattsvilleMD. It’s bittersweet. My last order of business: urging the council to set a limit on fines for parking citations. Failure to pay 75¢ at the meter should not result in a $140 fine. cc: @ortizadam

@Hawkins4PGC @HyattsvilleMD Thank you for the kind words, @Hawkins4PGC ❤️

@MayorCBH The future awaits your phenomenal leadership and impeccable integrity as you advance social, economic and political issues of importance... Thank you for contributing to a better @HyattsvilleMD and Prince George’s County. #PrinceGeorgesProud

@MayorCBH @RoDawg419 @annemi We just sent you the email for the third time. Along with your councilmembers. The community would love a prompt response to the demands and items requested. The people don't want you to reassert anything. We want you to meet the people's needs!

@RoDawg419 I also feel strongly that we can’t continue to create conditions that price others out of the community. 2/2 What ward are you in?

@RoDawg419 Yes it does. We have been reallocating resources across the board over the last 6 years. A large part is that we’ve tried to do this without increasing property taxes. This is also an important issue because...1/2

@RoDawg419 I hear you. This isn’t to brush away the need for community investment. We will continue working to attract external investments like those you mention. Please keep the recommendations coming. I appreciate it.

@RoDawg419 In our FY15 budget, law enforcement was 45% of the budget, now its 38%. I am looking forward to more suggestions for needed programs and services in the city so please feel free to email me at chollingsworth [at] hyattsville [dot] org.

@RoDawg419 You’re right. Since I was elected in 2015, we have increased our investments in community services by 127% by creating programs that speak directly to our community’s needs. We’re committed to doing more and are still on that path.

@Cedar_Anthony @Colorlines Thank you for reading!

@Colorlines @MayorCBH Hell yes! Thank you for having the strength to say this loudly and clearly! ✊🏼💪🏾
