Town Hall Alliance

The Town Hall Alliance candidates attended the “Public Forum” so to discuss the “Constant Yield and Budget” of Saint Mary’s County.  I provided budget numbers from the budget that if incorporated would allow for a “Constant Yield”.  I also said more savings could be done like not spending $15,000 for a two day trip to New York for a Bond Hearing ($5,000 of which was spent on a Limo).  It was an interesting evening, and I had the honor to be interrupted by Commissioner Jack Russell during my 3 minute allotted time to speak.  Jack made the comment that the $15,000 spent in
