Is Charter Right for Carroll County? - The Tentacle.com by Kevin E. Dayhoff January 23, 2013
The decision last November by Frederick County voters to go
to a Charter form of government has kept local political junkies preoccupied
ever since the election results were announced.
The ballot issue last fall was quite contentious in
Frederick County and even the preliminary discussions over exploring such a
change in Carroll County has already had a polarizing affect with people taking
sides quickly.
Ever since the county was formed in 1837 citizens have
tinkered with the county’s form of government.
In 1968 Carroll County voters rejected both Charter
government and Code Home Rule. In 1984, Code Home Rule was defeated.
In 1992 Charter government was defeated at the ballot box.
In 1998 the voters rejected a referendum to increase the Board of Commissioners
to five at-large members and rejected a Charter form of government.
I participated, in vain, in the Carroll County Committee for
Charter Government, in the effort to bring a Charter to Carroll County – that
was defeated at the polls in 1992.
In the late 1960s, 1980s and early 1990s, many of my close
friends and colleagues disagreed with my advocacy for Charter government.
Like most former mayors – who have experienced (municipal)
charter government, I strongly believe that Charter is a move in the correct
direction for a more cost-effective, efficient and citizen-oriented government.
I bristle that currently local Carroll County decisions are
made by people in Annapolis, who do not even know where Carroll County is.
I believe in local control and local decisions. And I am
convinced that, in the end, Charter is a cheaper form of government than the
anachronistic inefficient and ineffective government we currently have in
Carroll County.
According to numerous media accounts including that of Ryan
Marshall in the Frederick Gazette, “With the results of Tuesday’s election,
Frederick joins Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Dorchester,
Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s, Talbot and Wicomico counties with
charter government…”
And according to a thoughtful opinion written on December 4
by Jackie Jones, of Taneytown, the chair of the Carroll County Democratic
Central Committee, “Carroll is now the largest of the remaining six
commissioner counties of 24 jurisdictions in the state…”
Although there have been many conspiracy theories put forth
over the years as to why other community leaders, who care about the future of
Carroll as much as I do, disagreed.
In the end, they were simply concerned that it would cost
too much money.
I am well aware of the suggestion that the opposition to
Charter was all about those in power “who didn’t want to lose the power that
they had…”
In my experience, many of “those in power,” who are accused
of selfishly taking care of their personal power base at the expense of the
long-range interests of the citizens of Carroll County, are friends of mine.
And I sure hope they were being straight with me when they said they were
worried that Charter is a step in the direction of expansive and expensive big
government.
Moreover, I share their concern… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5583

As they explore the history and culture of ancient Greece

in the Jan Term study tour “McDaniel in Greece: Myths, Monks, and Monuments”
have encountered surprises – moments that have enriched their 18-day sojourn
abroad.

Berlusconi Rises Again Kevin E. Dayhoff
While Greece
wraps up a six-month effort to secure a new bailout payment, and Washington continues to fail to understand the
seriousness of its fiscal responsibilities, the world’s financial markets
wobbled earlier in the week when it saw the ghost of Italy ’s former Prime Minister
Silvio Berlusconi. http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5512

Athens, Greece, January 12 – Demonstrators once again took
to the streets in central Athens Saturday afternoon, in another of a long
series of strikes, demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience that have
rocked Greece since a worldwide economic downturn officially got underway in
December 2007.
It was four years ago – in 2009 – that Greece
kicked-off the year by announcing its budget deficit would be 12.9% of GDP,
more than four times the European Union's 3% limit. Greece was first admitted into the
EU in 1981, and in 2001 it joined the Eurozone… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566
[…]
Various recent news accounts indicate that unemployment
approaches 25 percent in Greece .
Pensions have been reduced and salaries slashed anywhere from 30 to 60 percent.
Meanwhile last Saturday began with signs
posted in the Metro that read: “Notice to Passengers. On Saturday 12/1/13,
stations, Penepistimio, Syntagma, will remain closed from 10:00 for safety
reason…”
Since 2010, Syntagma
Square has served as a barometer for rising civil
discontent over Greece ’s
ever-worsening economic crisis. In the past it has been the most popular locale
for mass protests and tent-city like occupations, some of which have turned
unexpectedly violent in which police have responded en masse with batons,
shields and tear gas...
On
Saturday, I witnessed more than 5,000 or 6,000 demonstrators marching past
the National Archaeological Museum ,
in a dense, well-organized and loud processional that chanted a Greek chorus of
anti-government slogans in a carefully choreographed cat-and-mouse theatrical
routine with a full accompaniment of motorcycle police and a phalanx of
paramilitary shock riot-police.
