Joyce Brown, 36, of Baltimore, Substance Abuse Impact coordinator for Howard County government:

I think the economy is one of our biggest. We're concerned about the level of services we can provide our citizens. We want to provide the best services for the dollar, and theeconomy affects what those dollars are. The other concern I have is the environment. Not just for Howard County but the whole world. I'm concerned about the quality of health of our citizens. I'm out to promote the rethinking of personal and environmental wellness so we'll all have a better future -- the body, mind, spirit, and the air, waterand land.
