Commenter (meeting speaker) told attendees that the Maryland Department of Transportation(MDOT) consolidated transportation plan tour will visit St. Mary's County and that members of the county's state delegation are expected to participate.

The speaker also criticized the federal budget process, saying a long history of continuing resolutions has left the government at risk of a shutdown and calling the situation "inexcusable." "It's unacceptable at the federal level to not pass a budget," the speaker said. "The last time a budget was passed, a real budget, was back when Clinton was president. It's been continuing resolutions since then." The speaker added: "There's no reason to shut down the government. It's inexcusable."

The speaker noted local items and community events in brief remarks, thanking Commissioner Alderson for raising "great news about the airport runway" and announcing two weekend events: a Blessing of the Fleet in Leonardtown at The Wharf and a Blessing of the Animals at Saint Michael's Catholic Church in Ridge. Regarding the MDOT tour, the speaker said: "Weare back in session for the consolidated transportation plan tour. Maryland Department of Transportation goes around to every county in the state" and added that, because St. Mary's is near the southern end of the state, the county is typically scheduled later in the day. "We're looking forward to that," the speaker said, noting that "we'll have some of our state delegation here with us" and expressing hope that officials will "get some good information."

The remarks combined routine local announcements with a critique of federal budget impasses and a short preview of the upcoming state transportation discussion. There were no formal votes or motions recorded during these remarks.
