why not discuss the loan that the council gave to the body scan company? It was Capt Jim that brought the motion forward. Only Wood voted against it. Why would the council give a “loan” to a company that made 6.6 million profit. Where do I get an application for a “loan” from the county council. Since there is no money to give raises to county workers and teachers are getting their pension paid by the county. Must be nice to make “loans” to companies that make a profit.
I stand corrected 661 million profit. Also, why not tAlk about why the ban wanting to be lifted for council members to get jobs after two years. There seems to be more important issues and the council needs to be accountable to the voters, but we know that ain’t gonna happen. Just keep giving “loan” to companies that don’t need them and talking about issues that distract the voter. Makes me sick to hear that our council wants us to be blind sheep. I only know of one council member that has the true interest of his voting district and the people of harford county and can you guess who that is? HE VOTED AGAINST THE “FREE MONEY”
