Columbia Association Code of Conduct (updated)

The Code of Conduct

Does anyone here see any reason that Cindy Coyle, Barbara Russell, or Rebecca Johnson violated the Code of Conduct when they endorsed Chris Merdon?

Are they not permitted to

“speak publicly as an individual board member on issues that affect those we serve”?

Would bringing them (or threatening to bring them) to the Columbia Association Board of Directors Ethics Committee be an act of intimidation and a violation of their first amendment rights?  Would it be an act of retribution?

Your thoughts.

Open Thread

Keep it clean and talk about anything you want.

Suggested topics:

1. Does it matter if Ken Ulman’s father is helping him to launch a political career? 
2. What are your impressions of Chris Merdon’s “Horatio Alger” story?
3. How negative do you think this last week of electioneering will become?
4. Do you think that Jim Robey’s attacks on Sandy Schrader’s support on women issues is meant to distract people from his tax issues?
5. Is Frank Turner siding with developers or is this more negative campaigning?

Independent and Demcorats and Republicans!

Talk about committment.

Mary Catherine Cochran, President of Howard County Preservation, continues her very public support of Chris Merdon for Howard County Executive.

She has announced that she will be holding an open house in her home for those who have not made up their mind on the County Executive race.

Saturday, November 4th between 4:30 and 6:00 p.m.

• affordable housing
• agricultural preservation
• historic preservation
• environmental issues
• education
• development and zoning

Post a comment here and I will forward to the host.

On another note I spent Sunday afteroon repairing GOP campaign sigs that blew down during the wind storms.  We were pretty lucky in that most survived.  I didn’t see many Democratic signs being repaired.

Merdon has updated his 4X8s as Dave Wissing pointed out.
