About Sarah Lacey

Education

I earned my bachelor’s in chemical engineering from MIT in 2002. After working for 3 years, I entered law school. I earned my J.D. from The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, summa cum laude in 2008, with a certificate in Law and Public Policy.

Background

After college, I worked for USFilter–Memcor in Towson as a field process engineer. I traveled the country to run tests of our microfiltration membranes for water and wastewater treatment applications. After law school, I joined the litigation department of Saul Ewing LLP in Baltimore. In 2014, I joined Levin & Curlett LLC (also in Baltimore), where in 2016 I was promoted to partner. Presently, my practice focuses on plaintiff’s civil rights cases.

Questionnaire

1
Development
Should the county develop small area plans as part of the upcoming General Development Plan and Comprehensive rezoning process?
Lacey: Yes. Just as a Councilwoman is the first-level elected representative for a jurisdiction within the County, the small area plans should be the first-level components in the comprehensive rezoning process. The small area plans should also be considered as a group within each councilmanic district, and the plans for each district then should be compared to each other, to ensure the overall plan is equitable.

Lacey: Absolutely.

Taxes
Do you support maximizing revenue under the county tax cap, or seeking additional revenues to support increased spending on education, public safety or other initiatives?
Lacey: Our budgets reflect our priorities. I do not, at this time, support raising local taxes. I do support lifting the cap if that is required to obtain more funding from the State.
