Councilman McIntire: "A mind for the important things" by Bryan Sears

Baltimore County Councilman Bryan McIntire – “A mind for the important things” by Bryan Sears http://tinyurl.com/c2sslb

If the County Council had a protocol expert or an official historian, either job would no doubt fall to Councilman Bryan McIntire.

McIntire, the council’s lone Republican, has fashioned himself a reputation on the council in both these areas.

Want to know the origin of the flag that looks like a Maryland flag with a Union Jack inset in the upper left-hand corner? McIntire is your man. Want to know the proper placement of the U.S. flag? Again, ask the councilman.,

And while it was surprising to hear that the state and county seals in the council’s chambers contain mistakes, it was not a shock that McIntire knew it.

McIntire explained the errors to a group of Boy Scouts who attended a recent council voting session and opened the proceedings up by leading the Pledge of Allegiance.
