But this year, a budget “town hall” meeting in Elkton was a chorus of anger and direct challenges to County Executive Danielle Hornberger’s policies, lack of spending “transparency” and short-changing of Sheriff’s deputies. As a solid blue line of Sheriff’s deputies&#8211;some in full uniform and others in polo shirts bearing the agency’s insignia&#8211; stood in the back of the Elk Room at the county administration building on Thursday (3/3/2021), two deputies spoke for them and voiced their outrage. “We are in a crisis,” said Michael Zack, a 19-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office and a former president of the FOP union representing deputies.
