George’s County Council since January 2002. I have been honored
to serve as Chair of the Council in 2006 and again this year, in 2010.
However, term limitations will require that I conclude my tenure this
December. Visit our
State's Attorney Campaign Website. Please make a contribution to Citizens for Tom Dernoga to enable our team to share my vision for the future and my record of success with the people of Prince George's County, while running a vigorous grassroots campaign that we'll need to win in September and November. Also, please sign up to volunteer on the Team. I really need your help. Current IssuesProposed Property Tax IncreasesI have received a lot of inquiries about the possible increase in real property taxes and the Council's action to support these proposals. Understand that these are actually State bills and the Council action was only about whether we “support” the State bills. We do not have authority to actually raise these taxes - not unless the State Legislature enacts the bills and gives us the authority. More . . . CB-001-2009

Current NewsDernoga Appointed Chair of the County Council Again
I was very pleased that my colleagues unanimously voted to confirm me as Chair of the County Council for the 2010 Legislative Year. Previously, I was honored to serve as Chair in 2006 -- another election year. I am the senior member on the Council and I have had the experience of keeping the Council focused on our mission while avoiding distractions in an election year. This year, we will be focused first on the fiscal health of the County and working with our State representatives to minimize reductions in State aid. We look forward to a more stable fiscal situation in the County and we will emphasize continued reduction in crime, job creation to lower unemployment and reducing the inventory of foreclosed houses. I am excited about the future of our County and I am honored to again serve as the Council Chair to help us steer the County to safer harbors. New council chairman vows to improve government transparency
