20080318 In Carroll County - I’d rather watch it all happen on TV
In
March 18, 2008
Recently there has been a push to televise all local government meetings in
And then - last week the story broke that (now former) New York governor Eliot “Mr. Clean” Spitzer, otherwise known as “love client no. 9,” had violated his marriage vows and broken a number of laws by taking “acting lessons” with an “aspiring-singer.”
There is a relationship between the two events and issues. Bear with me and I’ll attempt to make my point…
Governor Spitzer mercifully resigned on March 12 and ended a sensational 48 hours of salacious melodrama of position, power, greed, and human failings.
The ironies abound in this tragedy.
In his previous job as attorney general of
To further his own political ambitions, he made it great sport to ruin the reputations of Wall Street executives.
He often used the very same laws that in the end brought about his own demise.
However, anecdotal accounts indicate his unpleasant approaches were not centered on bad folks. He was, by many accounts, an equal opportunity misanthrope, often treating foes and colleagues with equal disdain.
Once he took over the governor’s office he quickly proceeded in going back on as many of his campaign promises as possible and fought with everyone – on both sides of the political aisle.
He raised taxes, added to the state’s payroll, and increased spending by 7 percent. In the paradox of contemporary taxation policy, the more
One of the many golden rules of life is always treat people well when you’re on your way up because you never know when you’re coming down.
In the end, as Governor Spitzer faced a life-altering crisis, he was completely alone with no friends.
I often wonder about this “human” aspect of community leadership when I attend – or watch public hearings on the local
Locally a leadership void continues to persist. And one wonders why.
Many folks feel disenfranchised and alienated because there are too many “Spitzers” in office, locally, in Annapolis, and nationally, who aren’t doing their job and aren’t honest with us.
Then again, in today’s political environment, why would anyone want to leave the comfort of their families – their jobs, to take on leadership positions in the community where personal attacks and character assassination is a blood sport for those who may disagree with certain decisions?
And astonishingly those who are the most unpleasant are the ones who want others to respect their point of view and have an opportunity to be heard.
Recently there has been a push to televise all local government meetings in
A position I whole-heartedly support because personally attending these meetings is so incredibly unpleasant; why would anyone want to go?
They’re hard enough to watch on television, but at least when we watch them on TV, we can change the channel – or leave the room.
In recent memory I have had a number of folks tell me that they never gave much thought to this or that pressing issue of the day. But after having seen and heard the folks who are against it - - they’re for it.
A case in point is the fella who asked for my position on the airport… I shared with him that both sides have good points – that ought to be heard…
That in the end, the commissioners need to decide what is going to be best the greatest majority of Carroll Countians… That the commissioners are obviously not going to make everyone happy with this issue. There is no silver bullet or win-win.
He told me that he never thought much about expanding the airport until he saw the folks who are against it in action and now he wholeheartedly supports expanding the airport. Hmmm.
And recently in
I’d rather watch it all happen on TV.

City officials approved the purchase of two properties on Union Street to be rehabilitated.
The duplex, located at 45 and 47 Union St., will be sold to low or moderate income families to promote homeownership, said Karen Blandford, the city's housing and community development manager.
The city housing department hopes to change the balance between renters and homeowners in Westminster, Blandford said.
The houses will be sold in a shared equity program, Blandford said, which will allow the city to maintain a share in the appreciation of the property. The program also guarantees that the home will not be sold as a rental unit.
