| What voters are seeing since the primary is Dave Zylak trying to morph himself into Mickey Bailey.
Mickey is well known throughout St. Mary's for his outstanding role in educating our children about the dangers of drugs, alcohol and violence- and for teaching his award winning Criminal Justice class at the Tech Center. Mickey "wrote the book" on Community Policing here in St. Mary's.
Dave Zylak has enlisted two "supporters" to write letters to the Editor toward achieving his goal of being more "Like MICKEY"- one was a former Principal of Great Mills who literally fled the county under a cloud of suspicion and the other is Gary Lynch who works under Kathy O'Brien- who runs the taxpayer funded Walden/ Sierra and is running for a chair on the Democratic Central Committee.
Hello People!- there is a difference between having someone fax a letter from Portland, Or. saying he liked Zylak's visit to Great Mills 10 years ago and the tremendous amount of time and effort Mickey has put into educating our youth. As for Gary Lynch- please write and tell us which program at the jail did Zylak promulgate, present and implement- or did he just allow the program to continue under his much scrutinized watch at the jail.
There is no comparison folks- the real Mickey has taught our kids, coached our kids and mentored our kids! Mickey has the capacity and the determination to make the appropriate changes as our next Sheriff. Mickey is a born leader and has the knowledge and relavent experience required to perform his duties as Sheriff. More importantly- Mickey understands what we expect of our Sheriff.
The fact remains that Mickey is the epitome of Community Policing and is the most progressive candidate running. Mickey is not the puppet of any "machine". Mickey is a product of St. Mary's County schools and our community and Mickey has spent his adult life giving back to our community and our schools. Mickey has offered us a plan of action for the future while his opponent clings to the past and his "Party" for guidance and direction. Vote Mickey M. Bailey- our best choice. |
