Comments on: Cecil County Commissioners Back Down, for now, on Broomell Bid to Fire Law Firm on Artesian Sale; Move Could Boost Legal Fees https://ceciltimes.com/2011/08/cecil-county-commissioners-back-down-for-now-on-broomell-bid-to-fire-law-firm-on-artesian-sale-move-could-cost-lots-more-legal-fees/ News and Views for Cecil County and the Eastern Shore of Maryland Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:21:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Nancy Schwerzler https://ceciltimes.com/2011/08/cecil-county-commissioners-back-down-for-now-on-broomell-bid-to-fire-law-firm-on-artesian-sale-move-could-cost-lots-more-legal-fees/#comment-2695 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:11:51 +0000 https://ceciltimes.com/?p=1576#comment-2695 Interesting idea, Ed, but the question is where to intervene. At least in theory, citizens could sue the Board of Commissioners to compel them to proceed with the sale, but no doubt ARCA would bring in its lawyer to oppose that. That would be an interesting “alliance”– ARCA supporting the Commissioners in court. Another prospect is a citizen ‘intervention’ if the PSC approves the sale but ARCA goes to court against the PSC decision. Citizens might counter-sue ARCA. The possibilities for legal foot-dragging could be endless.

If 1000 citizens each contribute $100.00 could we retain an attorney to block them?

The antics of Broommell are childish and it makes our County Government look like an absolute joke. I would encourage Dunn and Mullin to become more independent of her before more damage is done to our county.

I may no longer reside in Cecil County, but my family does and I care about it deeply. I also put my county before my party, which is why I have been praising Hodge and Moore. I would encourage Mullin and Dunn to align with them for the sake of Cecil County. We need independent thinkers, not puppets.
