| I have had my doubts as to who I was going to vote for, for County Comm. President, until tonight. I listened to both Julie Randall and Tommy Mckay talk at the political forum in Ridge, and to tell you the truth... I thought Julie Randall made a better showing. Tommy Mckay came in late after his lovely $50 a ticket party his dad was having for him and starts talking about buildings in this county need more square feet rather than cubic feet, that the tec center is basically ridiculously too big, and here's the kicker, starts talking about we need to bring back the farmers, and that St mary's county should be known for something like Idaho for the potato and Georgia for their peaches. Ok, I have grown up with farming in my family, and to tell you the truth, there is not very many doing it anymore. If Mckay wants to run on that platform, he should have ran for office like 10 yrs ago... because we are too busy building up all that we can. Basically there are two main farming families in this county anymore, so I don't know how he expects to do this.
Overall, Mckay did not come across as someone that I would want running this county. Its just a scary thought. |
