From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Curt Anderson Curt Anderson Curtis Stovall "Curt" Anderson Occupation Religion Attorney Christian Curtis Stovall Anderson (born October 12, 1949) is an American politician, lawyer and former broadcast journalist. Anderson was first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1983, and is the chairman of the Baltimore City Delegation,[1] and former chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland. After serving 12 years, he was elected again in 2002. Anderson was also a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1992 (Clinton) and 2008 (Obama). Background Anderson was born on October 12, 1949 to Leonard Curtis Anderson and Jean Stovall in Chicago, Illinois. His father, a graduate of the Northwestern seminary, moved the family to Baltimore, in 1952, to take a job as the Dean of men at Morgan State College and assistant rector at the St. James Episcopal Church. Anderson’s parents divorced in 1957 and he and his two sisters were raised by his mother. Member of the Maryland House of Delegates from the 43rd district In office 2003 – present Preceded by Constituency Ken Montague, Michael Dobson Baltimore City Education Anderson attended pirmary schools in Baltimore and Glencoe, Illinois. In 1964 he entered the Baltimore City College (high school), the third oldest high school in the country; and with 3,000 boys it was also one of the largest. Anderson was the captain of the football and track teams[2] and winning a scholarship to Rutgers University. Anderson majored in political science and made the freshman and varsity football and freshman track teams. In the fall of 1969, Rutgers played Princeton, in the 100th Anniversary of college football; the first game being played by Rutgers and Princeton in 1869. Anderson saw limited action in the game and left Rutgers at the end of the semester. In 1973 he entered Morgan State College where he earned his bachelor’s degree in political science. He also played on the legendary “Ten Bears” lacrosse team,[3] the only black Member of the Maryland House of Delegates from the 44th district In office January 12, 1983 – January 10, 1995 Preceded by Succeeded by Born Political party Spouse Relations Children Residence Torey Brown, Frank Robey Ann Marie Doory October 12, 1949 (1949-10-12) Chicago, Illinois, United States Democratic Divorced Shani Davis, cousin Ambre Anderson, Curtis Ian, Damien, Christian Baltimore, Maryland 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia college lacrosse team in America.[4][5] In 1982, after, his television career, he entered the University of Baltimore Law School where he earned his Juris Doctor.[6] Curt Anderson drugs, homelessness and illiteracy that existed in the African-American community as well as to encourage young African-Americans to enter the field of journalism. (On March 3, 2008, the Baltimore Sun wrote that Anderson is an avid Wikipedia editor.)[10] Television career On the campaign trail After the strike at WMAR, Curt Anderson was fired from his television job and ran for the House of Delegates while entering law school. During the summer of 1982, in the heavily democratic 44th district of Baltimore City, he knocked on more than 9,000 doors and joined the ticket of incumbent state senator Julian Lapides. This first campaign coincided with the entry into electoral politics of fellow Baltimore City politician and eventual mayor Kurt Schmoke. The primary field of contenders for Anderson included four incumbent state delegates and, with Anderson, that meant five people vying for three seats in the primary. Anderson not only won a place on the ballot but came in first, ahead of all the incumbents. He faced token opposition in the general election, won handily and finished law school four years later. Curt Anderson interviewing Muhammad Ali, 1978 Prior to running for the House of Delegates Curt Anderson anchored the news at channel 2, WMAR-TV, and channel 11, WBAL-TV, in Baltimore, Maryland. Anderson was first hired by WBAL in 1976 as a reporter where he regularly covered the state legislature, Baltimore City Hall, produced features and even boxed a round with Muhammad Ali [7] as a feature story in 1978. In 1980 he was hired by WMAR-TV to be the station’s weekend anchor and reported on such events as the Wayne Williams trial in Atlanta (1981) and the Cuban refugee influx in Pennsylvania. In April 1982, Anderson was fired by WMAR-TV following a 90 day labor strike.[8] Other news anchors in Baltimore during Anderson’s tenure included Oprah Winfrey, Jerry Turner, Mike Hambrick, Ron Smith, Sue Simmons, Vince Bagli and Spencer Christian. Anderson was also a member of the Association of Black Media Workers,[9] and its parent organization the National Association of Black Journalists. As a member, Anderson worked with his colleagues to increase the numbers of African-Americans employed in Baltimore television and radio stations during the 1970s. The group also sought to help solve social issues such as Legislative career Sen. Decatur Trotter, Del. Curt Anderson and Rev. Jesse Jackson during a Maryland Legislative Black Caucus meeting in Annapolis, Maryland (1988) After serving seven years in the Maryland General Assembly, Anderson was elected chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland.[11] As chairman he sponsored and saw passed Maryland’s Minoirty Business 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Enterprise Act. One of the benefits of this act for minority business was increased participation in major state projects like the building of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Nearly 20% of the contracts let for the construction of the new ballpark went to minority owned businesses. After 12 years in the House, Anderson ran for the Senate in 1994 but was defeated in the democratic primary. He practiced law for the next 8 years when the political bug bit again. In 2002 he made a run for the House of Delegates. As before he was a non-incumbent running against four incumbents for three seats. Unlike his first race in 1982 where he beat all the incumbents and finished first, this time Anderson finished third with a razor thin 100 vote margin of victory over 4th place finisher incumbent Ken Montague. In the 2006 campaign, Anderson joined with 43rd district incumbents Senator Joan Carter Conway, and Delegates Maggie McIntosh and Ann Marie Doory to defeat a field of 6 other challengers. The team knocked on more than 20,000 doors, mailed nearly 100,000 thousand pieces of literature and defeated all challengers in both the primary and general elections.[12] Curt Anderson his opposition to the introduction of slot machines in Annapolis.[19][20] Delegate Anderson along with former Delegate Peter Franchot (now Comptroller of Maryland) organized protests against slots, wrote newspaper editorials[21][22] and took to the airwaves at several local radio and television stations to solidify opposition to bringing organized gambling into Maryland. In spite of strong support for slots by then Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich, Anderson and his colleagues prevailed and a pro-slots bill never made it out of the House of Delegates though similar bills had passed the State Senate. In 2005, however, all that changed; both chambers passed different pro-slots bills. In the House of Delegates the measure passed by a 71-66 vote. The refusal of the competing gambling interest to compromise on one bill or the another doomed the measure again and[23] no slots bill ever reached Governor Ehrlich’s desk.[24] 2007 brought new hopes to some slots proponents because the new Governor, Martin O’Malley, had hinted at some marginal support for slots as a possible new revenue source. Although Anderson and O’Malley share party affiliations, Anderson remained a staunch opponent of bringing slots into Maryland. [25][26] Electric rate increases In 2006, Delegate Anderson spearheaded[13] an effort to reduce proposed electric rate increases in the Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) service territory. BGE had proposed a 72% increase in electricity rates that would have gone into effect during the summer,[14] the highest period of electricity usage. BGE argued that it had to make the increase because of the cost of energy it had purchased the previous January, but did not disclose until later that most of the energy it had purchased was from its parent company, Constellation Energy. Before the rates could be increased,[15] Anderson and his colleagues joined citizens of Baltimore in[16] demonstrating against[17] the plan and trying to bring the legislature back into session to deal with the issue.[18] An extraordinary session of the Maryland General Assembly was called and legislators voted to limit the increase to 15% and investigate the means of procurement that caused the initial crisis. Crime Curt Anderson is also the chairman of the House Judiciary’s subcommittee on criminal justice,[27] and former chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland’s committee on crime and justice. In 2003, Delegate Anderson was appointed to and currently serves on the Maryland State Commission on Criminal Sentencing Policy.[28] His experiences from these positions as well as his background as a criminal defense attorney led him to the conclusion that most crime is just a symptom of the larger problem that society faces: drug addiction. In the 2007 session of the Maryland General Assembly, Anderson, therefore, introduced measures[29] to increase drug treatment[30] funding while requiring the state’s courts to refer first time misdemeanor drug users to treatment. The initiative mirrors those adopted on the west coast under California Proposition 36. Anderson’s other bill in the drug area represents a major change in Maryland drug policy, HB992, would have repealed the state’s without parole provisions from the sentences Slots Since his return to the legislature in 2003, Anderson has probably been best known for 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia of second time non-violent drug felons.[31] Referencing the fact that nearly 90% of those incarcerated in Maryland for drug felonies are of African-American descent, Anderson has sought to create a racially equitable solution to the drug problem.[32] The Maryland State Commission of Sentencing Guidelines is also considering changing sentencing guidelines for low level felony drug offenders.[33] Although the bill passed both Houses, it sits on the Governor’s desk and could be the subject of the new Governor’s first veto.[34] Additionally, Anderson was the House of Delegates floor leader on legislation that would automatically expunge the records of the thousands of young men who have been arrested in Baltimore City without being charged with a crime.[35] In 2006 more than 21,000 people, mostly African-Americans, were arrested in Baltimore City and then released hours later without being charged with a crime. Existing Maryland law would allow them to have their records expunged of these arrests but not without signing a written waiver of rights or waiting for three years. HB-10 would make the expungement automatic with no waiver, no fee and no waiting period. It passed the Maryland House of Delegates on March 7, 2007, by a vote of 130- [36] and signed into law on April 10, 2007. Curt Anderson 2008 During the 2008 legislative session Anderson sponsored the Custodial Interrogation Act which requires law enforcement officers to electronically record interrogations in murder and rape cases that resulted in confessions.[38].[39] The bill was signed into law by the Governor in May 2008. 2009 During the 2009 session of the Maryland General Assembly, Anderson introduced two bills aimed at strengthening Maryland’s drunk driving laws: HB330 (Manslaughter and Vehicular Manslaughter -Penalties) and HB 212 (Preliminary Breath Test - Evidence).[40]. Additionally his sub-committee rewrote and updated Maryland’s theft statute (HB66) and he sponsored several gun bills designed to decrease violent crime in Baltimore.[41] Legislative notes 2005 • voted against slots in 2005 (HB1361)[42] • primary sponsored "No-Knock" Warrants (HB557), (became law Chapter 560)[43] 2006 • voted for Healthy Air Act in 2006 (SB154)[44] • co-sponsor HB524- Driving Without a License - Arrest and Penalties (Became law Chapter 329)[45] 2007 • voted in favor of the Tax Reform Act of 2007 (HB2)[1] • voted in favor of prohibiting ground rents in 2007(SB106)[46] • co-sponsor HB131, Maryland Clean Cars Act of 2007 (became law Chapter 112)[47] • primary sponsor HB251, Property Tax Credit for Newly Constructed Dwellings (became law Chapter 228)[48] • primary sponsor HB789/SB351, setting standards and requirements for Maryland’s forensic labs (became law Chapter 147)[49] • primary sponsor of HB 1071, creating child fatality review teams for the prevention of child deaths (became law Chapter 264)[50] Governor O’Malley, flanked by Speaker Busch and President Miller signs House Bill 6(2008) into law.
