Dunn lashed out at critics of the appointment, accusing them of an “orchestrated effort” that was “shameful.” Members of the Cecil County Patriots, the local ‘tea party’ organization, spoke out against the Yust appointment, as they had against’ Dunn’s previously hand-picked appointee, Owen Thorne. Thorne served a brief interim appointment on the planning panel but withdrew his name for a four-year term after the Patriots’ group highlighted his posts on Facebook, including “potty-mouthed” comments and references to a male body part. Under county commissioner tradition, the available seat was Dunn’s to fill, with approval of fellow commissioners. After Thorne’s withdrawal, Dunn picked Yust, who served as campaign treasurer for Dunn’s 2010 campaign for county commissioner.. Yust is also a former Rising Sun town commissioner and political ally of Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4) in local Republican and land use groups.
