For starters, the only people who think we need to get rid of the good old boy system are those who are not part of it. Fact is, I think the good old boy system is great for those of us who were born and raised here in St. Mary's County. And it's not really a system, it's just people who know each other looking out for one another and scratching each other's back. Wouldn't you as a county citizen much rather have someone you know and are familiar with in office than one that you don't know? That's what it comes down to for most voters.
Having said that, I know crime is down under Fritz. I know Fritz does look out for local people, watermen, et cetera, when he's able to.
Now, if Cecil were elected and you knew him and you needed a favor, would it be any different? I think not. Then you would be part of your own good old boy system, huh.
Think about those things, and try to find something other than some old trumped up rape charge or buying up newspapers and "it's time for a change" as reasons to vote for Cecil. My vote is with Fritz.
