Democrats of St. Mary's County Maryland

Commissioner Thomas A. Mattingly, St. Mary’s County Board of County Commissioners, has been appointed to the Governor’s Intergovernmental Commission on Agriculture.

His nomination for this Commission was forwarded to the Maryland
Secretary of Agriculture by the Maryland Association of Counties (MACO). Commissioner Mattingly currently serves on MACO’s Board of Directors.

The Commission was created by Executive Order in 1996 and
formalized a positive year-long effort led by the Department of
Agriculture to bring local officials, planning agencies, and farming
interests together to address issues of concern. The Commission is
charged with promoting the economic profitability of farming by ensuring that all appropriate State agencies work in a cooperative, coordinated manner with local government and industry groups. Voting members are not state agency officials, but rather farm industry groups and local government interests.
