Why didn’t Susan Burdette or Brendan Hopkins run again? I thought they were both doing an excellent job
Michael Blum says
The Commissioners have staggered terms — so, every other year, 2 or 3 terms are up. Therefore, in 2015, Susan Burdette. Brendan Hopkins and Philip Einhorn were elected to 4-year terms; their terms have 2 years yet to run.
Bill from Bel Air says
Thank You for the Great explanation Mike! I hope all is well with you
Tom Thumb says
I’m so happy that the Town didn’t elect Chris Jordan. The man is a liar and was forced to resign from HCSO for integrity issues. He’s not someone you want making Town decisions.
DJT says
Maybe he could run for President as a Republican.

All politicians are liars with questionable integrity. Take a look at our last local elections.
Bel Air South Dad says
I don’t understand what you mean by “take a look at our last local elections”? Do you mean the 2015 Bel Air Town Election??
High Road says
I wouldnt be that cynical. But I get your point

How about the NHDC and its 2 “leaders”
The Real Problem says
The true corruption is going on in the Harford County Council. They vote to give themselves significant raises and vote Barry a raise. Plus you have a clerk of the courts that has been in office almost 20 years and makes around 110,000.00 a year. Must be nice. Keep on voting for these idiots they really appreciate making a career off your stupidity.
