From the City of Havre de Grace:
STATEMENT BY MAYOR WILLIAM T. MARTIN REGARDING THE RESIGNATION OF COUNCIL MEMBER MONICA WORRELL.
This evening at the city council meeting, Council Member Monica Worrell announced her resignation from the City Council effective immediately.
Since her first day on council, she has been a leader, an amalgam of conviction and civic mindedness. During her tenure, she has always spoken and stood up for what she believes in.
She played an intricate role in helping Havre de Grace achieve its Sustainable Maryland certification and passionately championed legislation that improved public safety, the environment, and economic development.
Our community is forever grateful for her service. Monica’s wisdom and compassion will be greatly missed. Moving forward, I am confident she will use her council experience to continue to make a powerful impact. I would like to thank Monica personally not only for her commitment but also for her friendship. I wish her all the best as she begins a new chapter.
In accordance with section 57 of the City Charter, in the upcoming weeks, I will submit to the City Council my nomination for their approval to fill the current vacant council position.
I am stunned.
Councilwoman Worrell has been a champion for Havre de Grace. She has worked on so many economic development and quality of life issues.
Plus, she is REALLY hot.
No great loss, Hopefully Bill will appoint someone that doesn’t like to hear themselves talk.
I am going to miss her. She is a lovely presence in Havre de Grace, particularly in the spring.
Why the resignation? Problems or just moving on?
Her facebook page said that she has taken a business development job with APGFCU and can’t do that and represent HdG at the same time.
Captain America, I will really miss her. Prayers for her and her family.
I saw this and started sobbing uncontrollably. Here I am at lunch, and my boss has asked me why I am so red in the face with raw emotion. You see, Monica was such a powerful influence on my life. I can’t believe she is gone.
I will miss her so much. I loved her.
Dr. M. Roberta Mills – she’s not dead! She resigned her position. Get a grip!
“Intricate role”? I wonder if he meant “integral.”
Monica,
Look me in the eye and tell me why.
Havre de Grace has been graced with a near perfect location with beautiful vistas, neighboring state park and quick access to the most traveled road in the USA. Too bad it’s politicians have squandered its natural potential decade after decade. They want Hdg to remain a backwater town with zero vitality. What a waste.
Why would it be different than the rest of Harford County?
You tell them Jane !! You’re the best.
Cant help yourself can you?
Albeit I agree with Q sentiment. Havre De Grace has significantly improved with the influx of people to APG. This improvement is likely more so the people who moved into the area and not anything to do with its local politicians.
Good Day!
You are a misinformed a$$. It’s easier to get any drug, including your rants about heroin signs beatdowns or worse done, stolen property or just about anything illegal, like your precious “lets arm everyone movement” in HDG then anywhere in Harford County. All this despite the valiant efforts of Chief Walter and her force. They are overwhelmed and understaffed. You are just blowing smoke and sniffing your own gas. HDG might look all pretty downtown, but so does Bel Air.
You agree with yourself, ( you’re the same poster), love yourself , play with yourself what else do you do to yourself Donnie?
Next…
Your Special aren’t you? I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong. What’s the purpose of that?
Don’t forget very smart and sew attractive!!! ROFL
Demonstrated Ignorance
Hey the Orioles just fired Buck Showalter. You can go down there and show the whole Oriole and baseball fan base, and world how perfect you are and the O’s will have a perfect season next year like you. Want me to call Peter Angelos and let him know you are interested. He’s a pretty powerful civil attorney too. You two will get along great!
Too funny! He lacks a sense of humor so expect a nasty or ignorant response. But pretty funny all the same.
Special, Special people you are. yawn.
Didn’t even read what you wrote because it’s so irrelevant to everything in the world.
I find you two pretty humorous.
You tell them Jane !
Bill,
Please don’t appoint another buddy “Mason”
(there’s already too many “Brick Layers” on the City Council!).
You tell them Jane !!
Monica, Good luck and our very best to you in your next adventure in life.
Somehow we know you will do well.
I, too, spent all last night crying when I heard this. I will truly miss Monica. Prayers for her family during this difficult time; the Harford County community is there for them.
Betsy, I agree. I am saying a prayer for the Worrell family tonight.
Throughout her life, Monica Worrell set a standard for service and leadership. She will be missed.
I heard they’re all Masons except Monica.
An awful thing to say. Shame.
I am still praying for the Worrell family. This must be a terribly difficult period for them. I said a special prayer for her son Bud and her daughter-in-law Jenny, and I hope they find consolation in the thoughts of so many Harford Countians. All our love.
