In this week’s episode of Baltimore County Unfiltered, Zuryna is breaking down the latest county chaos — with clarity, calm, and a few receipts.

📚 The library was… not library-ing this week.
Fourteen part-time librarians were laid off and then rehired two days later. Staff called it confusing, the union called it dehumanizing, and the HR director stepped down in the middle of it all. Whew.

🌉 Key Bridge collapse updates you need to know.
New NTSB findings reveal the ship lost power multiple times because of one loose wire. And yes, even though the collapse happened in the city, Baltimore County is absolutely feeling the ripple effects — from traffic to shipping delays.

🚗 Your commute isn’t crazy — it’s the infrastructure.
695 and 895 congestion? Longer drive times? Same. And reports say the rebuilt bridge may take longer than expected, so pack your patience.

🎄 On a lighter note… holiday vibes are here!
The Avenue at White Marsh Holiday Parade returns on December 6th — floats, lights, music, the whole festive rollout.
And don’t forget the White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company Train Garden (say that five times fast). It’s open for the season and cozy as ever.

✨ Episode Highlights:
• The BCPL staffing shakeup (and what really went wrong)
• Key Bridge collapse findings that affect your daily life
• Traffic, commutes & county-wide ripple effects
• Family-friendly holiday events happening this week
