Hi there, I am Nater Kane

I believe Howard County deserves better, and you deserve better. I'm running for County Executive because I believe it's about time the people of Howard County have a champion who doesn't take corporate or special interest money and always puts people over profits.

How do we ‘make’ living in Howard County affordable?

A redditor wants to know “what’s the deal with the unaffordable affordable housing?”, but without the Seinfeld voice, probably.

Blocking OIG access to public records is worse than embarrassing, and might rhyme with eruption
