Comments on: Judge Rules Smigiel Off the Hook to Pay Taxpayers’ $40K Legal Bill for his Lawsuit Against Cecil County https://ceciltimes.com/2014/02/judge-rules-smigiel-off-the-hook-to-pay-taxpayers-40k-legal-bill-for-his-lawsuit-against-cecil-county/ 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: RED 833 https://ceciltimes.com/2014/02/judge-rules-smigiel-off-the-hook-to-pay-taxpayers-40k-legal-bill-for-his-lawsuit-against-cecil-county/#comment-28477 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 15:18:08 +0000 https://ceciltimes.com/?p=3637#comment-28477 Since Moore was sued as County Executive the county was obligated to defend her. A reading of the charter clearly shows that she was within the charter in her actions. Smigiel paid just a $145 filing fee to hurt Moore politically. He should be embarrassed by the judge’s criticism of his handling of the case. Why waste time on a case you can’t win?

Moore’s temporary party change prevented the Smigiel-Pipkin puppet Central Committee from submitting the names of three Smipkins for replacement, which would have guaranteed two more years of Smipkin-controlled county government.

I would like to see the facts regarding the $40,000 allegedly spent by the State GOP. Show me the money. And all that is beside the point since we have a Republican County Executive.

Bottom Line up Front(BLUF): Smigiel was right and won this case and Tari lost and wasted yet more taxpayer money!

This is about Smigiel; however I will reply candidly. I share my constructive criticisms with Tari in person or at commissioner and town hall meetings because she makes it possible for me to do so. Because of that, I don’t need to question her on Facebook. I can barely remember Smigiel attending anything public in this county where he put himself in a position to take questions or be challenged on his points.
