County Taxpayers Cannot Afford Carl Roberts

After his tenure as Superintendent of Schools, Carl Roberts has now decided to run for County Commissioner in the Fourth District. I cannot envision Mr. Roberts being able to separate himself from his past, being Superintendent of Schools, and now, as a County Commissioner being able to frugally manage our tax dollars. As Superintendent of Schools, he always asked our Commissioners for more money and was largely responsible for the 13 years of double digits increases we had to endure in our property taxes. It appeared his solution for solving problems was to throw money at them.

How can Mr. Roberts say no to any request from the Board of Education? These are the people he mentored and worked with for 30 years. This is a conflict of interest! When it comes to electing a guardian to watch over our tax dollars, is Carl Roberts the right person? This is like asking the Fox to guard the Hen House!

The best candidate for Commissioner in the fourth District is Diana Broomell. She is a person with high integrity and believes in Government transparency. Diana will ask the difficult questions, eliminate redundancy and wasteful spending in our County Government. Diana has repeatedly stated throughout this campaign that she wants to reduce taxes for the citizens of Cecil County. Knowing Diana, I believe she will make every effort to do so. She will be a good steward to watch over our Tax Dollars. Diana Broomell is Fiscally conservative and deserves your vote.

Sincerely,

Richard T. Boyle
