Becky,
Love you but unfortunately you are wrong. Diane and I try to make every council meeting and most [citizens’] corner events, we read the bills and resolutions. The fact is Tari sought and received authorization to increase the county debt by 50% from current levels. That is an additional 70 million in debt on the citizens in the county. Becky, the problem is we do care about Cecil County and want it to be strong. Being in debt is not a strong position.

As far as Ms. Moore, she decided to break her word. She took the support and money of Republicans, then turned her back on them, now that she thinks the storm is over she switched. She just wanted to circumvent the process and name her own replacement. Your word is your bond; she can Never be trusted again!

Why are you asking to be enlightened? Sounds like you have all the answers already. However I believe the whacky [one] on the Council and her “do as I say” buddy at the other end of the table has cost us more than all the discretionary spending of the county executive.

Come on, Joe. Surely you are aware that no one person controls the budget single-handedly. There exists feed-back and direction from those possessing financial expertise. Have you taken any steps to understand the current county debt as it relates to previous debt? Have you contacted the Budget Director and/or the Treasurer and gone over the numbers? Why do you continue to throw darts at County Executive Moore based on your personal supposition rather than on the basis of solid fact? But, wait…I think I know the answer to my own question.

Too often, any of us are prone to generalizations formed not entirely from facts, but from personal bias. In your case, Executive Moore’s switch from your beloved “Republicanism” sullied her in your eyes. Now, I fear that anything that our Executive does is fodder for your censure.

This is most unfortunate, not only for those you might unfairly influence, but for the good of the County. It is time for you to set aside your personal resentment and to join with others who wish to work toward building a strong Cecil County.
