Whoa there boy…

January 29th, 2007 · 7 Comments

Barry Glassman appears to have jumped the gun on this elected school board bill.  I applaud his efforts though.  He clearly desires to be out in front on this issue.  However, I have to agree with Dulany-James on this one.  What exactly are the problems?  The “one failure and your out” policy sparked this debate.  [...]

Local Governments Take On The Illegal Immigration Issue

August 18th, 2006 · 4 Comments

Overwhelming numbers of Citizens (including myself) have the Issue of National Security at the top of our List of Issues come Elections! Illegal Immigration is a serious threat and those who are delegated the power (Federal Government) to resolve these matters are refusing to enforce existing Laws! The State Governments on the Issue defer to [...]

Your Political Voice

July 12th, 2006 · 6 Comments

When I read the letters to the editors in the Aegis today I noticed a theme. No not the usual Golding bashing, although that was present and deservedly so. I noticed the letter on an elected school board by Judy Kinshaw-Ellis (a democrat) and an appointed chief of police by Brinton Cooper (there is no [...]

Send No Democrats to Annapolis

June 24th, 2006 · 2 Comments

With the recent BG&E debacle it is clear that we need to remove as many democrats from Annapolis as possible. I cannot believe that they can stand there with a straight face and say it is not a good thing to give consumers options.
After the Wal-Mart fiasco, the Wall Street Journal called the Maryland Legislature [...]

Thank You for Voting NO

June 17th, 2006 · 4 Comments

I heard a democrat on the radio saying that it was a good thing for people to not be able to opt out of the deal. Once again this debate over energy prices clearly shows the difference between the way democrats and Republicans think. Democrats think it is best to involve the government in everything. [...]

Local Tax Rates Need Trimming

May 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment

I would like to commend both the Council and the County Executive on the way they worked a compromise on the recently approved budget. I do believe though, that it is becoming increasingly apparent that we should take a serious look at paring down some of the bloated tax rates that face Harford County residents.
As [...]

Growth “Problem?”

May 15th, 2006 · 12 Comments

I am interested in starting a discussion on growth. From the poll it appears that several of the readers of this blog are concerned about it. I did not vote for growth in my own poll so I guess I am interested in peeking into the minds of those who feel it is an issue [...]

Campaigns and Rezoning; Helton Confused

May 2nd, 2006 · No Comments

Should our councilmen be able to accept money during rezoning? Absolutely. Should they be careful who they accept money from? Absolutely. It is just common sense. If Bob Ward, his wife, and children all buy a $500 ticket to your event there is a good chance he is going to ask for a favor one [...]

Craig Will Veto: Home Run or Strike One?

March 1st, 2006 · 3 Comments

Guthrie was 100% correct in The Aegis. Craig will veto soon. So what does that mean? It means that Helton can’t use “developer friendly” against him. It also means that developer contributions to his campaign will probably dry up. This could be a problem when his opponent has almost unlimited money. However, I strongly believe [...]
