Bissett
eloquent during debates
I had a good
time watching the televised debate of the Republican candidates
for county executive the other night. It was definitely a sight.
I would like to commend
Anne Arundel Community College for hosting the debate.
The debate
should have been a real eye-opener for citizens. Only one
candidate - Phil Bissett - offered real ideas and a clear plan
of how to achieve the goals that were set forth. This is the
same candidate who has for months been working on different
issues - growth and traffic, education, public safety,
environmental stewardship - and producing brochures that are
mailed out to the citizens of Anne Arundel County. He set a
clear plan for each issue in those brochures, and in this debate
he laid them out, again, publicly.
It was
amazing to watch no other candidate be able to say exactly
what he would do for the county in certain situations. They
pointed to other legislation, or their life experiences, but
nothing can compare to actual thought-out plans that once
enacted will work. Mr. Bissett knows our county, knows the
issues that the county faces, and knows the people who work
on those issues. He meets daily with people who talk about
their concerns and experts on the issues who help him with
ideas. Why has no other candidate made available, for the
public, exactly what he would do as Anne Arundel County
executive in any given situation?
