Editor,
Maryland Classified Employees Association (MCEA) Chapter 610, which represents a substantial segment of Harford County Government employees is proud to announce our endorsement of Councilman Patrick Vincenti in his bid to be elected as the next Harford County Council President. Councilman Vincenti has a track record of advocating and voting for legislation that is in the best interest of the community for which he currently serves. Additionally, by knowing Mr. Vincenti personally, we truly believe that he is a man of honesty, integrity and common sense.
MCEA Chapter 610 is looking forward to working with Patrick Vincenti as the next Harford County Council President, as he and his fellow Council Members strive to keep Harford County moving forward for the benefit of its citizens and its businesses!
Sincerely,
Michael Hiob – President
Rick Crosby – Vice President
Amanda Weyant – Treasurer
Jacob Sagner – Secretary
Congratulations Councilman Patrick Vincenti. You should make a fine Council President. Good luck sir.
Harford County government workers union leaders endorse there current boss before any democratic primaries or democratic candidate debates. Great little democratic union you have there. Don’t you wanna hear what the democratic opposition has to say before you jump the gun 9 month,s before the election.
Hiob, Crosby, Stills and Nash deserve a well earned salary raise for their kiss-ass loyalty..
Mr. Callahan, as of today the Democratic Party has not fielded opposition to candidates in most of the races in Harford County. It is hard to imagine how a candidate could mount a viable opposition to Mr. Vincenti at this point. The filing deadline is only about a month away. All serious candidates for Council President really should have filed by now. HCEA endorsed Mr. Vincenti because we could not envision a better candidate for Council President based on Mr. Vincenti’s track record and character. I presume from their press release that Maryland Classified Employees Association (MCEA) Chapter 610 made a similar assessment.
Thank you for your insight and comments Ryan.
MCEA, Chapter 610 endorsed Mr. Vincenti for the same reasons that HCEA did (and then some).
In the interest of having all the facts, it should be noted that serious candidates have often filed late in the process.
You can see who has filed so far on the state board of elections website. Ben Cardin has not filed yet for Senator. Even Larry Hogan has not filed yet for Governor. They are serious candidates.
Nobody has filed yet in District B for Harford County Council. I am sure a candidate will file that will be taken seriously.
It takes a lot of money and effort to run for office, so some may need more time to think about whether it is worth it, and to plan and organize.
Why is this January 17, 2018 post still running? Does Pat have the Dagger in his budget? Pat votes for $85,000 in tax revenue to be delivered as a “GRANT” to his self-interest and all the Dagger does is promote him. Haven’t we had enough with self-serving politicians? Describing Pat as self-serving is being considerate. His actions while not illegal represent a lack of duty to represent Harford County. Only the insiders vote while 70% of registered voters will sit on the sideline. Harford County needs a refreshed government, vote them all out. Or continue the corrupt Harford and re-elect the bunch of them.
Thank you to those that take issue with the endorsement for Mr. Vincenti before a democratic candidate was announced.
I decided to run for County Council President to ensure there was a Democratic challenger.
Since joining the race, I have heard a great deal about the planned tire Pyrolysis Plant (combustible plant) at the current facility that shreds tires off of Mountain Road and Route 7. This plant will be built by a company that has never built a plant in the U.S. There is a great deal of danger to citizens from White Marsh and Kingsville to Aberdeen and Havre De Grace. This could affect 73,000 citizens. Why are we all not talking about this? Why is my opponent not talking about this? He has not said a word.
There was a great outcry because the Education Budget was not being fully funded this year. Support positions had to be cut in order to give the teachers their raises. Does the current County Council get away Scott free for this one? Isn’t there a partnership with the school board? Don’t they bare some responsibility for this?
Have any of you had to fight Harford County Zoning? My wife and I did and we won. It was hard. I had no support from my County Councilman, Joe Woods. No support from the head of the County Council. No support from our County Executive, Daniel Craig, and no support from Harford Zoning.
A business in our area expanded their building and lot by a factor of three without requesting a single permit. Then they erected stadium lighting. My wife and I galvanized our neighbors and took this business, Harford Zoning, and BG&E to court. It took 2 years but we finally prevailed at a cost of $60k.
I have executive experience as a former VP of Technology at ADP and Broadridge Financial Solutions where I led and was a member of numerous successful cross-functional teams. We were the fastest-growing unit at Broadridge with the top 40 clients in the Financial Industry.
I ask Harford County Voters to check out my web page https://voteforbudhines.com and give me their vote so I can give you the fair representation that every citizen in Harford County should have.
