Mr.C, I find it surprising you implied I’m spoiled. Let’s take a look at things that didn’t go my way: Aston pointe, Artesian,Stuart Properties,Lowell McCoy,… Buddy for Life, unqualified crony appointments to liquor board, ethics commission and others to name a few. This past election indicated I’m not alone. Where do you stand on these decisions Joe? I stood on principle with Tari on almost every one, which is fiscal conservativism, private property rights and limited government. And you are correct,the dept. of Homeland Security now defines me as a threat because of these principles.

I would say the Republican Party as represented by “Friends of EJ Pipkin” are the ones who abandoned Ms. Moore by their actions during the last election cycle. I believe that was dismissed as just politics yet you’re calling this unethical. I would ask those “friends” to do something constructive and withdraw their frivolous lawsuit(s) so our elected officials can get back to the important business of running the County. If the pettiness continues, I believe many more will become “Unafilliated.”

I really appreciate Cecil Times for their reporting on this and other county government issues – please keep up the good work.

As far as the future of Cecil County politics, unfortunately for the citizens of Cecil, the decorum and character of our local politics are hardly worth praise.

The ‘mayhem’ and attempted obstructionism that has been perpetuated by Broommell, Dunn, and their sponsors will undoubtedly continue for the next two years. Cecil Times will have plenty to write about I’m sure. Until the remaining two amigos are removed from office at the next election (just 22 months away), we will continue to be tortured by their childish antics and immature tantrums.

Cecil County should rejoice that Tari had the courage to take control of the situation with her change from the Republican party. As a Republican myself, I have been ashamed to be considered to be in the same party as Broomell, Dunn, and the recently removed 3rd amigo.

Once again, keep up the good work Cecil Times!!!
