From Harford County government:
Harford County has asked the Maryland Court of Appeals to resolve key legal issues in a case involving the county’s denial of a rubble landfill on Gravel Hill Road proposed by Maryland Reclamation Associates (MRA).
The case in circuit court resulted in a $45 million judgment against the county in April. MRA brought the current case after it had lost judgements in four prior attempts to reverse Harford County’s denial of the landfill nearly 30 years ago. The county’s denial was based on a failure to comply with the zoning code, which operates to protect public health, safety and general welfare.
Harford County’s petition to the Maryland Court of Appeals on August 31 seeks that higher court’s review of the circuit court’s monetary judgment, instead of review by the intermediate appellate court.
In support of Harford County’s petition, Montgomery County submitted an amicus brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals on September 17, joined by Prince George’s, Howard, Carroll and Cecil counties along with the municipalities of Westminster, Rockville and Gaithersburg. The Maryland Association of Counties and Maryland Municipal League also signed onto the brief in support of Harford County’s request for review.
Harford County’s petition and the related amicus brief are available online via the links below.

What they don’t tell is the whole story about why the County is now in this position. The history on this one is long and deep based on my limited understanding. Now the county is being told to pay up because they screwed up. In fact this issue is even connected with Mr. Glassman himself if media reports are correct.
Every person on the county council that was a party to this should be responsible for the 45 million. This could have been settled years ago for a mere fraction of the amount. A jury of Harford county residents has spoken, the county council is at fault and the residents must pay for electing the wrong people.
I’m curious. Name them.
Why does everyone want someone else to do the work for them? Whats wrong too lazy to do your own research?
It’s a saga that goes back to the late 80s/early 90s. I am genuinely interested in hearing who Citizen thinks is to blame over that period. How am I supposed to “research” what someone subjectively opines?
Why do so many posters on the Dagger have to be sanctimonious jerks? Why can’t they refrain from being keyboard warriors from their mom’s basement?
All you want is names you don’t want any other information. The only sanctimonious jerk here is you and you just got busted.
Why do, so many think that people they disagree with are living in their mother’s basements. How ludicrous and moronic.
Because they are pompous imbeciles, which is why they are now in this position. A position that is getting even worse by the day due to their arrogance.
County Council members Jeff Wilson and Joanne Parrot. It’s not a secret.

Robert Wagner was on that same infamous 1991 county council that will cost taxpayers $45 million. He is planning his return as the District E candidate. Never liked him. I thought he would finally go away after falling drunk out of his truck at the nursing home pissing his pants. I guess it just shows, these leeches never go away.
Vote for Bridgette Johnson for Count Council District E! Fairness, Honesty And Common Sense!
Wagner? Is that the same guy who after selling his family farm for intensive development and pocketing the cash is now against development?
This is a surprise?
Wagner has the personality of a slug. Can’t believe he won. #WriteInDianeSengstacke
Vote for Bridgette Johnson for County Council District E Economic Development of Route 40 Corridor!

If I remember correctly, Barry Glassman won his first campaign for councilman by running against the proposed rubble fill.

I for one am glad to see Harford get thumped for their bad behavior.
So this thing has been to court 5 times now, How much are the legal bills, who’s paying them and who’s the lawyers?
So, Harford County Government has gotten some of its other County Government colleagues, as well as their “union thug” MACO, to gang up in support of them.
Very interesting……
Your prattle is insulting. Go away.
Vite for Suzanne Oshinsky for Harford County Council Distrct B!

She should be running for Board of Ed, not County Council. Her goals are admirable, but she wouldn’t have much ability to achieve her stated goals from the Black Box.
Corruption at it’s best! Perhaps another of the Boys will be taking a fall this election year. Several fell during the primary. Now this comes out right as Nov approaches.
Hang on to your seat folks. Going to get bumpy!
Oh Jane… here too…?

I never thought it could be true, but indeed you just confirmed what they told me. Nice Job!
MRA CEO Schafer on Rubble Landfill Case: “This is Quite Telling and Makes One Question the Competency of the Glassman Government”

Checking on the Maryland Court of Appeals web site, certioari petitions tab, it appears that Harford County’s petition for certioari was denied on 26 October 2018, what does that mean? I am just curious

Who cares what the Court of Appeals has to say. That court is a vessel of treason on American shores. It should be reformed or destroyed on the grounds of treason…..Take it to the US Courts.
