I need to make it clear that Commissioner Broomell is not being truthful in her statement that she was mostly talking with Mike Burns of the county Ethics Commission while at Chili’s. I know this because I was with Mike Burns for a good 45 minutes observing her converse with Dunn and Mullin before Mike Burns ever spoke with her –which leads me to believe that her intent to meet at Chili’s was not to talk to Mr. Burns but rather to have conversations with Mullin and Dunn.

Because of previous conversations with Ms. Broomell, I have come to realize that she is the “Queen of Spin.”

Dear Tidewater,

Not when it comes to elected officials. Ever heard of the Open Meetings Act? Do some research. Use some common sense! Don’t like it, then you can move to Cuba or China. These three commissioners are supposed to represent the people of Cecil County NOT their cronies and personal agendas.

Get a clue.

Remember, before she was elected, Ms. Broomell was quite vocal about the Commissioners at that time conducting their business in the “back room.” And she also had a big problem with the self-serving report by the previous officials on it being too expensive to make the meetings more open using video. She even had some ideas on how it could be accomplished. Of course, once elected she flushed what little transparency there was down the drain. I guess we can see why now!
