Carrie Ann Knauer casts her vote in the Westminster municipal elections at the Westminster Fire Department John Street Quarters at 28 John Street in Westminster.

No further developments have been revealed as to Ms. Knauer’s future political aspirations although her name has frequently been mentioned as a good mayoral candidate at some point in time in the future.

Think about it – it fits, Westminster Mayor Carrie Knauer. It works.

As of 3:30 this afternoon, approximately 465 voters had come to the polls to vote in the Westminster municipal elections – including future Mayor Knauer.

Polls will remain open until 7 pm. The mayor’s office and two council seats are contested. The winners are expected to be announced at the Westminster Common Council meeting this afternoon at Westminster city hall at 1838 Emerald Lane.

Candidates for election in Westminster today are: Mayor: Suzanne Albert, Dennis Frazier, Kenneth Hornberger and Kevin Utz. Council: Anthony Chiavacci, Eleanor DeMario, William Gill, Damian Halstad, Darcel Harris and William Hughes.

Water at forefront for Westminster elections today by Bryan Schutt



Water at forefront for Westminster” By Bryan Schutt Times Staff Writer
Tuesday, May 05, 2009

Westminster officials have spent countless hours and millions of dollars trying to protect water supplies, find new resources and provide quality drinking water.

Still, the city has less water than it needs for future projects and has budgeted even more spending for water exploration projects. So balancing water resources protection with continued growth will be one of the tasks at hand for the incoming mayor and two Common Council members.

It wasn’t long ago when in the summer of 2002, the city actually had to truck water in from the Medford Quarry to supplement the city’s water supply. Now a multi-million dollar pipeline connecting the quarry to the city’s reservoir is near completion and the new officials will have one drought-protection solution under their belts.

Building the Medford Quarry Pipeline was part of an agreement with the Maryland Department of the Environment in April 2007. As the city meets MDE mandates, more water is freed up, but the current officials have noted how pricey each project is.

The Carroll County Times asked the candidates: How do you intend to balance water resources protection and conservation with continued growth?
