Thirty congregants stuck around after the Dec. 4 congregational meeting for a nosh and an illuminating presentation from Tikvat Israel congregant Anne Kaiser, who serves as the majority leader of the Maryland House of Delegates. Kaiser represents District 14 in Montgomery County.
Kaiser, who was the subject of a lengthy profile in the March/April 2016 issue of Bethesda Magazine, gave an overview of the “hot button” issues in front of the legislature. From taxes to school funding, the state legislature has an enormous impact on all Marylanders, stated Kaiser, adding “Every bill gets a hearing and the budget reflects our values.” Kaiser stressed that we should reach out to our elected officials, sit down with them, educate them about what matters to us and be involved.
