🏢 ICYMI: Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater Joins Bob Miller on the Morning News Express

Frederick County Executive Jessica Fitzwater joined Bob Miller this morning on the Morning News Express for a conversation about one of the biggest issues facing the county — data center development.

Fitzwater addressed criticism over what some have characterized as the county’s change in stance on data centers, including questions about whether the shift is a political move during an election year.

The County Executive pushed back on that criticism, saying the issue — and the information surrounding it — continues to evolve, and county leaders have to be willing to respond accordingly.

🎙️ “As the landscape continues to change, we need to be responsive to that.”

The conversation dives into the county’s current approach to data centers, what has changed and why Fitzwater believes officials need to adapt as the debate continues.

The Morning News Express is your weekday wake-up call from 6–9am, led by the one and only Morning Mayor, Bob Miller. You know the voice. The laugh. The stories. The legend. It’s the reason Frederick gets up and gets informed.

Bob’s been the king of morning talk in Frederick for 30+ years, holding down the WFMD fort for 27 of them. A proud Frederick County native, his roots run deep—son of the legendary local vet Doc Miller, raised on a 180-acre beef farm, and yes, he really did show cattle across the country. (Moo included.)

His resume is impressive, his humor even better. Senior class president and class clown at Walkersville High (Class of 1980), Bob also helped launch the school’s first-ever football team—the gritty “Mean 19.”

Off the mic, Bob’s a proud husband to Lynda (30+ years strong), a dad to Erin and Bryan, and a super-proud granddad to little Kaelyn.

Bob’s known radio was his calling forever, with stops at major stations in Baltimore and D.C. But Frederick is home, and every morning he brings his voice, wit, and community-first perspective to Free Talk 930 WFMD. He’s joined by great local guests all week to cover what’s happening in and around Frederick County, plus national reporters from Fox News Radio to break down what’s happening across the country.

As Bob’s mom says: “At least now I can finally turn him off.”

ICYMI: Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins Joins Bob Miller on the Morning News Express

Jenkins weighed in on the appointment of Kevin Meyer as the new Chief of the Frederick Police Department, saying he was pleased to see the city promote from within and give the position to someone who already knows the department and the Frederick community.

The Sheriff also previewed his “End of Summer Get Out the Vote” Rally happening this weekend at AMVETS Post #2 — better known as “The Farm.” Jenkins says the goal is about more than politics. He wants to feed people, meet people, and have conversations with residents from across the political spectrum.
