🌟 Bel Air native goes to the Top 6. 🎤

From right here in Bel Air to the national stage, Brooks Rosser has given our community plenty of reasons to cheer.

Brooks’ incredible journey on American Idol took him all the way to the Top 6 and what makes his story even more special is how unexpected this journey was. The quiet Bel Air native who once stayed out of the spotlight has stepped into it with confidence, sharing his incredible voice with millions.

Brooks, you’ve shown us what can happen when you take a chance, believe in yourself, and let your talent shine. Bel Air is cheering you on every step of the way! 🎶

Congratulations, Brooks! We can’t wait to see what’s next.

Rosser, who worked as a dementia care technician before his audition, said his grandmother’s illness inspired him to pick up a guitar and start singing.

**TRAFFIC ALERT** NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN ON MD 24 BRIDGE OVER I-95: Beginning Thursday, September 10, 2026, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) will implement a new traffic pattern on the MD 24 bridge over I-95. Under the new configuration, the two northbound MD 24 lanes toward Bel Air will shift left onto the newly constructed bridge span.

A barrier wall will separate northbound and southbound traffic.

An overnight lane closure and traffic drags may occur on northbound MD 24 on Wednesday, September 9, as crews prepare for the shift. Portable message signs are in place to alert motorists of the new traffic pattern. Dates and times are subject to change due to weather or other factors.

With northbound traffic operating on the new bridge span, crews will continue to work behind barrier walls to demolish the existing MD 24 bridge to make room for the northbound I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETL).

The MDTA appreciates motorists’ patience and reminds drivers to slow down, use caution, and stay alert while traveling through work zones.

The Work is part of the MDTA’s I-95 ETL Northbound Extension Program between MD 43 and north of MD 24, which will help reduce delays and improve travel along northbound I-95 between Baltimore and Harford counties.

I’d love to see our governor put more effort into our state, rather than influencing politics elsewhere.

Gov. Wes Moore is pushing to flip these 11 seats from red to blue. Analysts say the campaign would be solid practice for a presidential candidate, though the governor says he is not vying for the White House.

Thank you to everyone who joined me at Maryland Polo Club last night. I’m incredibly grateful for your support, encouragement, and continued confidence in our work.

My team and I have been working hard throughout this interim session, and we’re doing everything possible to prepare for what I believe can be our most effective session yet.

As we look ahead to November’s elections, I couldn’t be more grateful for the support I’ve received so far. Your encouragement means so much, and I’m honored to have you with us on this journey.

Thank you for standing with me. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together.

Maryland’s highest court ruled Thursday that a proposed congressional redistricting amendment can remain on the November ballot after two lower-court judges found problems with how the measure was put before voters. Still, it ordered election officials to rewrite the question after finding that language drafted by lawmakers was misleading to voters.
