From Friends of Walter “Butch” Tilley:
With today’s announcement that Governor Hogan is pushing legislation to impose term limits on members of the General Assembly, Republican candidate for House of Delegates in District 34B, Walter “Butch” Tilley, applauds Hogan for his leadership on moving forward with term limits legislation, and is placing self-imposed term limits if elected in 2018.
“Term limits are needed now more than ever for our Delegates and Senators; too much time in power leads to politicians who are out of touch with voters that elected them to represent our interest,” said Tilley. “If I am elected to serve, I commit that I will serve no more than two terms in the House of Delegates.”
Tilley is a small business owner and President of the Harford County Sheriff’s Foundation. Tilley and his family are longtime Harford County residents. He is running for the seat currently held by Delegate Susan McComas who has been in office for 15 years.
Interesting article in the “Baltimore brew” about Tilley and his contributions to Mayor Pugh and other candidates on both sides of the aisle. Home Paramount owner with lots of bucks. I don’t believe any candidate who promises only to serve 2 terms. Lots have promised, few have followed through.
That’s his dad…do some research
I will only serve two terms as a Delegate and two terms as a State Senator. Then I will run for local office for two terms. Just enough time to get vested in the cushy pension system and be set for the rest of my life.
Term limits are an interesting proposal to keep those who govern us in check with reality and the interests of the people. However, after much thought, I do not believe that term limits will change the atmosphere of the current political mess and the gerrymandered districts of the governed keep us in chains that will continue to prohibit liberty for all generations to come. The only REAL answer is to destroy and rebuild. I’m not talking about blowing up things or murdering people. I’m talking about establishing a new system of government that actually has the interests of the people as its priority and takes criminal elements from the government out of the picture. I’ve said it here before. We have the technology and a system in place to actually let the governed govern themselves. Everyone has a social security number and every computer has an IP address. Using the two together, we can make a system of governance where the people actually vote for laws and changes to those laws from within their homes or even on their cellular phones. There would be little need of a large centralized government except for those who actually do services for the people and we could literally shutdown the State House and the entire system that has made those whom you have elected into the very criminals that they have sworn NOT to become. Every voter gets a say in the governance of the State and a true Democracy, not the falsified Democracy that we are currently part of , will follow. As of right now, each and every candidate that you will vote for will be the choices of two large political gangs that appear on the ticket. We could literally take the power of the Republican and Democratic parties away from these gangs and allow critical thinking and free will of the people do the rest. We do not need the current system of paid liars to rule us. We need to put the government back into the hands of the people and remove it from the criminals who now run the show. Term limits keep the current system in place, you just get to choose from a wider variety of criminals from the exact same political gangs that have brought us to where we are right now. Wouldn’t you like to actually get your voice heard? This is the way……
