Gov. O'Malley named the new Harford County school board members this afternoon -- and ignored the recommendations from the "nominating" committee created by the Harford County Council.
The Sun has this quote from Richard Slutzky, who created the temporary committee.
"In the end, this validates the concerns of Harford County citizens that we have no process and that we have a need for an elected board of education," he said. "The reality is that in three administrations, three different governors, whatever the procedure was in Harford County, there are occasions when the recommendations are overruled, ignored and denied. People need to elect their Board of Education. This validates the whole issue."

Also note that one of the new school board members was endorsed by a special interest group that was the only group to lobby against the elected school board bill last session, joining board member Mark Wolkow in saying an elected school board would be "too political."

Let the apathy continue, but my child just graduated and he along with a majority of his friends attending HCC have to take a remedial math class before they can take college math. Thanks Harford County!
