Try to ignore your personal bias towards “do-overs”.

I don’t believe that you are qualified to declare them a “newspaper of record.” That Mr. Wilson based his decision on a Judge’s opinion seems sensible to me. I suggest that a Judge’s opinion trumps yours. Judges do make mistakes, which is why we have courts of appeal. Both the Guardian and Cecil Times state the facts, not your version of the facts. I recall situations where you successfully amended minutes of RECORDED MEETINGS so as to bolster your positions. Shameful that Mullin and Dunn voted with you. The public, boards and commissions, as well as your fellow commissioners have been deceived by you.

I expect you will keep tabs on the advertising cost per ad and follow up with the amount that has been charged to each delinquent property – and make sure those property owners receive full credit on their redemption bill l for the difference between what they were charged originally when they were billed and the new rate. It is only right – and it IS a direct cost to the taxpayers if properties are not redeemed.

I’m glad you welcomed bids from competing newspapers. However, to say the Herald is a “newspaper of general circulation” because they have distributed in 3 new locations below the canal in the past few months is premature. Let’s evaluate their performance in a year.
