🌱 County Council Pension Cap Bill + Amazon Facilities Set To Close

Hi all. I'm back with your fresh copy of the Catonsville Daily, fresh off the presses. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town.

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sunshine. High: 85 Low: 68.

Here are the top three stories in Catonsville today:

1. A bill being debated by the Baltimore County Council would lift the cap on members' pensions. The bill, which will be up for debate on Tuesday, was introduced by Council Charman Julian Jones. In Jones's words, "It should never have been there in the first place." What do you think? (Baltimore Sun)
2. Amazon will be closing two area facilities. The retailer filed with state regulators on Friday that one facility in Baltimore County and one in Anne Arundel County would be closed effective on Oct. 25. The retailer says that all employees would have the opportunity to transfer to nearby delivery stations. To read more about the closings, click the link. (Baltimore Sun)
3. Interested in upcoming events? The Baltimore County Public Library has you covered. From family story time to trivia nights and more, you can be part of your community by spending some time at the library.
