    Roy McGrath resigned Monday as Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan's chief of staff amid turmoil over a six-figure severance package he received from his previous state government job. McGrath officially assumed the role of Hogan's top aide on June 1. The Maryland Environmental Service board of directors approved McGrath's severance in May. The board offered McGrath a year's salary - roughly $233K - plus tuition reimbursement and other perks. Senate President Willam C. "Bill Ferguson IV (D) and House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones (D) released a statement Friday calling for special hearings into McGrath's severance. Though McGrath did not release an official statement, he wrote on Facebook that he "remains focused" on his job, and he decried the report as toxic, partisan politics." The governor and his press officials declined to comment. On Monday, however, McGrath said he was "exiting state service," referring to the latest incident as a "distraction." "For me, this entire topic is simply the sad politics of personal destruction, and right now, we cannot afford unnecessary distractions from the critical work the governor and his team are doing," McGrath said in a statement. Hogan's office released a statement Monday announcing the governor regretfully accepts McGrath's resignation. "It is with regret that I have accepted Roy McGrath's resignation as chief of staff. Roy has been a deeply valued member of our administration, and our state is better for his dedicated service," Hogan said. "I recognize that this was a difficult decision for Roy, but I understand and respect his reasons for making this decision. I have always known Roy to be someone of the highest character, and I wish him well in his future endeavors." Hogan taps Keiffer Mitchell Jr. as Acting Chief  The governor tapped Keiffer J. Mitchell Jr., the administration's chief lobbyist, as his acting chief of staff. Mitchell is widely respected by both sides of the political aisle and established himself as a bipartisan consensus builder. “I am humbled that Governor Hogan has put his trust in me. We have a first-rate team that is working around the clock at such a critical moment in our history. Together, we will continue to change Maryland for the better," Mitchell said in a statement, released by Hogan officials. Both Bill Ferguson and Adrienne Jones released a statement Monday saying that agreed with McGrath's decision to step aside. Hogan's spokesman said McGrath is "not receiving severance from the governor's office," the Sun reported. A Subplot  A Miner Detail received a data dump earlier Monday morning from someone apparently on the inside of state government - someone who worked closely with McGrath. Stay tuned.

    A new Ocean City, Maryland mask declaration could land you a criminal misdemeanor if you fail to comply. PLUS, a number of Eastern Shore state lawmakers and concerned citizens are rallying to save a Maryland State Police medivac unit. Each weekday, A Miner Detail Editor in Chief Ryan Miner covers two stories tending in Maryland politics and news. Today is Friday, July 31, 2020. Are you planning a trip to good ol' Ocean City any time soon amid the coronavirus outbreak? Pack up your sunscreen and Solarcaine and don't not forget your face mask. Ocean City's mayor, Rick Meehan, mandated that all visitors must wear face masks along the two and one half mile stretch of boardwalk, beginning at 5:00 p.m., Friday, July 31. If you've five or older, you'll need a mask if you plan to be on the boardwalk any time between 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. the next day, for at least thirty days. But what happens if you don't comply? You could face a misdemeanor penalty - but, it's unlikely. Though there is always that one person in the crowd who acts a fool. Police aren't looking to arrest anyone not wearing a mask - but if you're out of control or belligerent, don't be surprised if you end up before a judge. What do you think about Ocean City's new mask mandate? Email me at Ryan@AMinerDetail.com. STORY 2: Moving up to the mid-shore, a number of Eastern Shore state lawmakers and local residents are fighting to save a State Police medivac unit after Covid-19 has forced across-the-board state budget cuts. Losing a medivac chopper has raised serious concerns amid locals, who say that the sparsely populated Shore could lose out to wealthier and more politically influential areas west of the Bay. Coronavirus has wrecked havoc on Maryland's economy. As a result, Maryland's Board of Public Works, by a 2-1 vote, approved $413 million dollars in state cuts for Fiscal Year 2021 on July 22. Trooper 6 out of Easton, Maryland could be on the chopping block after Maryland Budget Secretary David Brinkley recommended the elimination of one of the six medivac units. Local lawmakers and county officials believe the loss would be devastating for their communities, especially since Caroline and Queen Anne's Counties are the only two Maryland counties without area hospitals. State officials and the Emergency Medical Services Board are in the process of conducting a feasibility study to get a better handle the costs of reducing these medivac stations. That study is expected to be finished sometime in September. ___ • EMAIL A MINER DETAIL: Feedback@AMinerDetail.com. • EMAIL RYAN: Ryan@AMinerDetail.com. ___ LIKE & SUBSCRIBE TO A MINER DETAIL's SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES • YOUTUBE: YouTube.com/RyanMiner. • WEBSITE: https://aminerdetail.com/ • TWITTER (Ryan) @RyanRMiner. https://mobile.twitter.com/ryanrminer. • TWITTER (A Miner Detail) @AMinerDetail. https://mobile.twitter.com/aminerdetail • FACEBOOK: @AMinerDetail: https://www.facebook.com/AMinerDetail/. ___ ABOUT RYAN MINER Ryan Miner is the editor in chief of A Miner Detail, an independent, nonpartisan multimedia online news outlet, featuring Maryland politics and news. https://aminerdetail.com/about/ ___ ABOUT A MINER DETAIL PODCAST Ryan Miner is the host of A Miner Detail Podcast, one of Maryland's most informative and entertaining politics and news podcasts. https://aminerdetail.com/listen-to-a-... ___ SUBSCRIBE & LISTEN TO A MINER DETAIL PODCAST • iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... • Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0... • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0INvlfp... • iHeartRedio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-a-... • TuneIn: https://tunein.com/podcasts/News--Pol...
