What a 5-year journey working for the Baltimore Sun. I didn’t expect the end to come this soon, but changes under new ownership meant it was time for a fresh start. Later this month, I’ll start at Maryland Matters, where I’ll continue writing about the environment.

some residents living on South Street in Libertytown have seen coliform and E. coli recently appear in their wells — and some are wondering if it's due to a nearby residential development.
