More like a clean, well-run election in Florida!

No I wasn't there I watched the video I was truly suprised that the question was asked. But again the past wasn't brought up in the campaign. Now...they democrates may use it if they are desparate enough to get Julie back in there.

"They" democrats? What politician wouldn't use an allegation such as that to their advantage, republican, democrat or other? I remember growing up in the late '80s or thereabouts when that rumor started. I can't tell you if it's true or not, either, but I can tell you that it did not just start recently. It was a real rumor at that time.

Now, as far as the general election goes, McKay should make a good run at winning because business owners/operators in St. Mary's have a history of being good commissioners. Eddie Bailey, George Aud, and others whose names escape me right now have a history of being some of the best commissioners to ever sit on the board. Even Dan Raley is viewed by some to be the best commissioner on this current board, and I probably would agree. Plus, other business owners/ operators in the county believe that somone in their business being on the board will look out for their kind.

[STMLADY]

You have that exactly right THEIR KIND. What about the rest of St. Mary's County? This will make for an interesting race.

Tid bit for all you election watchers...Tommy was so mad that one of the republication candidates for comissioner indorsed his opponent during the primary he told this candidate that he was going to vote for the democrate running against the candidate.

POOOOOORRRR Tommy.

I have one thing to say for all those that have complained about the current group of commissioners they all won their bid to be on the ballot once again, except Shelby..in order to make a change you gotta keep them out of office.

Now really, give me a break. I might agree that Mr. Raley is a fine man and good commissioner, but if my mind serves me correctly (questionable) Mr. Aud was elected while in jail for arson. While he was loved by the public, it was common knowledge about how things were done in this county. Now I really enjoy the freedom to speak in this forum (what a country !) but let me be blunt. Tommy McKay only cares about himself and nothing else. His personnal life is as bad as Bill Clinton's and if elected, we have only ourselves to blame. Thank You, I feel much better.

Not I...I voted for Rocky on Sept. 10th

It's all this "gentlemanly" stuff that goes on. Nobody wants to really go after an opponent because they may need a favor from them later. Plus that, the network is like an octopus with tentacles that reach where you never dreamed.

St. Mary's has had several sketchy political candidates over the years - people with very embarrassing (if not illegal) things in their past. These things are always "open secrets" - everyone knows about it but nobody talks about it. Their political opponent doesn't bring it up in debates or go public with the allegations. I guess because they're afraid of repurcussions.

I remember several elections where I was waiting for a candidate to bring up something in his opponent's past that we all knew about. But they never did.

I was with my mom in McKay's and heard from Mr. McKay the news that his son Tommy had embezzled over a million dollars from him and Richfood. The family was devasted. Blood is thicker than water and it looks like the McKay family has forgiven him. Tommy McKay went on to open 3 more grocery stores out of the county. They all went bankrupt. I don't know about the rest of you, but I sure don't want this so-called businessman watching over my tax dollars and the county funds. If this information is not correct, I think Tom McKay would have answered the question in public. He was asked to at the Republican forum at Aloha but did not.

Tommy McKay will never respond to the allegations of embezzlement. Why should he? He won the Primary even though everyone knew he was guilty. It just looks like to me we are in for more "Clinton" politics!
