County Executive Kathy Klausmeier

This morning, I present my Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Proposal to the Baltimore County Council. This budget focuses on what matters—helping our residents and communities, and we move forward without raising taxes 🧵

Baltimore County, be careful in the heat! We encourage you to stay hydrated, relax indoors, and check on your neighbors. Stop by our community centers, shopping malls, and libraries for a fun break from the sun.

Good morning, #BaltCo! It's going to be another hot one today. Take extra precautions and stay cool! For severe weather alerts, sign-up for #BaltCoAlert: baltimorecountymd.gov/departments/em…

I'm sure that everyone has seen @CarterMachinery in action. When you see that signature yellow, you know something great is happening! We're very excited to cut the ribbon on the new Carter Cat Rentals location in Sparrows Point.

Thank you to all of our partners for helping to deliver this legislation today, from our County Councilmembers, to our amazing Dept. of Health and Animal Services teams, and to the animal advocates who continued to champion this important issue.

I’m so proud to sign our animal welfare legislation into law. This legislation sets clear standards for humane care, holds reckless pet owners accountable, and makes sure animals aren’t in shelters longer than they need to be.

Baltimore County has been fortunate to have Councilman Kach serving our communities for so many years. I thank him for his many years of service and wish my friend and colleague all the best.

Pikesville Middle School's reforestation project needed a refresh—it was great planting some trees with SGA and science students earlier this week! 🌲 I'm so grateful to our @ClnGrnBaltCo team for the work they do to keep Baltimore County green.

#BCoFD is now hiring Probationary Emergency Medical Technicians — and you can now apply at just 17 ½ years old! 🚑 Start your journey today: bcofdcareers.com #NowHiring #EMS #FireDepartmentCareers

Behind every great community are people quietly giving their time and hearts to make it better. I encourage everyone to nominate the heroes in their lives who go above and beyond to make Baltimore County a great place to live and work!

🎉 Happy Teacher Appreciation Day, Team BCPS!

I want to thank the Baltimore County Council for passing our animal welfare legislative package tonight. Together, with our animal welfare advocates, we've strengthened protections for animals, supported public safety, and created a system that helps protect animals from harm.

Our partnership with Tradepoint Atlantic continues to keep our region’s shipping industry among the best in the world. We're grateful for our federal, state, and local partners for their work on bringing this project to life!

When we invest in good jobs for our residents, we’re empowering them to provide for their families, put food on the table, and build strong futures. The new Sparrows Point Container Terminal project will create thousands of jobs and long-term economic opportunities for residents.

Once it's built, @CCBCMD's new state-of-the-art Welding Training Center will be an incredible hub for students who want to learn valuable skills and build new careers for themselves. We need a workforce with the skills and training to modernize our nation’s infrastructure, like rebuilding the Key Bridge, which will benefit our entire region.

The BCAS team takes in an average of 21 animals per day—if there’s room in your home and heart, adoption fees are waived through May 3 and you’ll receive a free Petsmart gift card if you adopt today. Learn more: baltimorecountymd.gov/departments/an…

It's National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! If there's room in your homes and hearts, stop by the Baltimore County Animal Services' shelter today until 5:00 p.m. to bring home your new best friend.

The Key Bridge is a vital economic lifeline for Baltimore County, the Port of Baltimore, and the entire state of Maryland. Restoring this connection safely, efficiently, and with strong fiscal stewardship must remain the top priority.
