Board of Appeals Gets Some New Faces

Four of seven of the previous members of the Board of Appeals have been replaced by the County Council. The good news is, William Moulden is sticking around (although, unfortunately, Anthony Lamartina is not), and Ray Jicka, Vance Remillard, and Michael Toppper are out. The new appointees are: Carroll Hicks, D-Severna Park, William Knight, D-Hanover, Andrew Pruski, D-Gambrills, & Jim Rzepkowski, R-Glen Burnie. John Boring, R-Arnold and Arnold McKechnie, R-Davidsonville (who had the worst voting record on the previous Board) were re-appointed.

Only time will tell if this Board is going to make a mockery of our environmental protection laws like the previous one did, or will instead stand up to protect the public good.
