“Lawyer Leon Rodriguez, wearing an authentic guayaera, indicated the sights, sounds and smells at a recent party in a private home in Howard County.

“What you’re seeing here represents the dramatic economic and political growth of the Latino community in our region,” Rodriguez said proudly.

Rodriguez, a Cuban-American who is county attorney for Montgomery County, was one of about 100 elected officials, business people and bureaucrats gathered around the home’s swimming pool, enjoying Cuban salsa music, drinks, and food.”
