Sent to Cecil County Executive Tari Moore this morning in response to her proposed budget for FY 2016:

Thank you.

Thank you for having the courage to stand up against the status quo in Cecil County in order to do the right thing for the current and future students of Cecil County Public Schools, the system’s employees, and the families who support them.

For too long, the status quo could be better described as status no.

Thank you for pushing your team to find compromises that can begin to heal the damage inflicted on our school system and, consequently, the county at large and for having the courage to commit to a formal plan for addressing our aging school facilities.

Thank you for demonstrating that being a public servant is about serving all of the public.
