Part of her job is to advocate for the school budget. She merely stated the obvious.

Stephanie Garrity is the public health officer, not the sheriff or DEA. The drug problem in Cecil County is systemic. It requires a multi-faceted approach, a coordinated approach across many departmental lines. The drug problem took years to develop. It will take years to solve.

One of the main reasons that the problem is worse here is the culture of Cecil County. It is going to require a lot of effort.

Scape-goating one official who doesn’t have the statutory authority (no one in Cecil County does) to make the changes that some want is not the solution.

Ms. Broomell is not being helpful to this coordinated effort. In fact, in the meetings that I have attended, she generally makes a fool of herself.

The Cecil County drug problem is ongoing for years. Problematic is the fact that Cecil County is half way between Philadelphia/Wilmington and Baltimore– some of the largest cities riddled with drug sales and distribution. If you can’t stop the drug dealers at the border, there will never be enough money in Cecil County to deal with drug addiction.

I must admit that this is a first for me: I agree with Broomell in this particular instance. Stephanie Garrity has not done much to address this drug issue in my opinion, and I agree that Garrity should resign.
