My Take on the Leopold Situation

By bud (budtheblogger@yahoo.com)


Here's what we know. On January 30, 2008, at 5:37 in the evening, a man calls 911 to report possible sexual activity going on in a black Chevrolet Impala. Turns out, the vehicle in question is owned by Anne Arundel County.

From the 911 tape, it appears that an Officer drives past the vehicle several times. He then nervously reports "I see it. It's the County Executive's vehicle". Shortly after making contact with the vehicle, the Officer returns with a transmission of "It's the County Executive himself in the backseat". Then, without any apparent investigation, the Officer abruptly calls off additional units and declares the 911 caller's accusations "unfounded".

Battleground Cecil

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

Maryland's 1st Congressional District race could be decided by the roughly 60,000 voters in Cecil County.

While Republican Andy Harris can claim the Western Shore as his stronghold and Democrat Frank Kratovil the Eastern Shore, Cecil County remains a toss-up with just about 2,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.

That's not to say both candidates don't have their vulnerabilities. Observers point to Queen Anne's County and Anne Arundel County as competitive, but none as unpredictable as Cecil.

Gazette: Frederick Co. implements hiring freeze

By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter

The Frederick Board of County Commissioners voted 4-to-1 on Tuesday to implement a county wide hiring freeze, according to The Gazette.

Frederick County is expecting a $6 million revenue shortfall, or 1.3 percent of the $446 million dollar budget, according to the Gazette. Michael Gastley, the county's budget officer, suggested the county should restrain from filling 188 vacant positions, which could save the county $3 million.
