Finally a forum where it’s just our candidates. Finally a forum where you can listen to commissioner candidates Doug Howard and Hugh McLaurin go at each other without 40 other candidates expostulating on why they’re against the incinerator and all for small business. We get it. Incinerator bad. Small business good.
Finally a forum where no one will be shouting for Richard Rothschild. Finally a forum where we won’t have to look at Haven Shoemaker.
The Freedom Area Citizens’ Council (FACC) is putting it on next Thursday, October 28th at 7 at the Eldersburg library. (That’s 7 in the evening so don’t show up at breakfast time with a donut.) Got questions, call Ellen Dix 410-549-2748.

So what will they debate?
Government experience versus business experience? Vision? Partisanship? (Please, no fiscal conservativism. We get that, too, everyone’s a fiscal conservative. No one’s raising taxes. Give it a rest.)
Howard says he’d make a better commissioner because he has a great business background, and you know, he’s a Republican. McLaurin says he’d make a better commissioner because he has a great government background, and he’s independent and non-partisan, and yeah, a Democrat. They’ll argue about this. Hopefully they’ll lose their temper. And there’s a lot more they can fight about. Too bad the candidates can’t ask their own questions. Just have it out, as suggested here.
Susan Krebs and Anita Riley, the Delegate candidates for 9B, will also be there. No Larry Helminiak this time (read about last time), so it should be a fairly sedate affair. Krebs always wins, so Riley’d better come in swinging for the fences.
