Aw shucks, another drunk on the Council? We certainly have a way of electing 'winners' don't we?

In "real life" driving a Company-owned vehicle under the influence is a terminable offence. I wonder what the County will do? Maybe downgrade to a Ford Fiesta?

Does not matter if you are republican or democrat he must go. Drinking and driving should no be accepted by leaders of this county. Does not matter if its a tax payer vehicle or not, drinking and driving proves he is not fit for the job and he must go.

Will most likely be a slap on the wrist for him.

Will his mug shot make the Patch Metro Rouges Gallery...or will he get a pass..?

Citations? That's it??? Were it one of his constituents, his or her life would be ruined. Oh the glory of political office...

To all making the comments above - Do any of you drink and drive?

Gee, I guess he really is reckless and dangerous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SN5-GuSano

Everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence and a fair and impartial trial. Even those that hold public office.
I think you would want the same for your spouse, child or friend.
David Mister

a silver jeep grand cherokee? what is that a $30,000 vehicle? for a part time job?
plus heath care insurance and $50,000 a year.

a whore like the rest of them.

as for getting rid of him, that is for the voters to decide. i woukd rather have a tdrunk republican than a tea tottleing democrap antytime.

I would like to see The Patches, once a week, publish a list of all DUI citations issued by each local jurisdiction. Many small town newspapers do this, and it is a great way to embarrass folks into driving more carefully!

Why does a county councilman need a county vehicle anyway. Are these people not supposed to be public servants? And pretty well paid ones too. What to they have to do that requires the county to provide them with vehicles?

Thomas Davies

Why was he using a county vehicle at 3am? How is that allowed? I worked for the county and my boss wrecked 2 county cars in less than a year while drinking and driving, one time with me and other emplyees in the car. Seems things never change.

And for the record, his personal life. Doesn't have anything to do with what he does for the county... As long as he's doin his job as our concil man. It shouldn't be a issue what he's done or what he does on his personal time.

The county used to offer green beer at the county office building (COB) on St Patricks Day celebrations there. I don't know if that's allowed anymore. I haven't worked for the county for many a year but back in the day it was a party atmosphere.

The police did exactly what they were supposed to do. Arrest him and release him for trial. Regardless of their position in the county, he has to be brought before a judge to to face his fate. As far as him driving a county vehicle "that time of night" (under those circumstances ) that issue will certainly be brought up. Seems there was a lack of judgement that will certainly cost him.

Who holds the insurance for the county owned car? Who is responsible for any damage or death caused when someone is driving a county owned car? No, it didn't happen this time but with drunk drivers it's just a matter of time.

This is certainly preposterous. A council person in a $30,000 county owned vehicle, at three a.m., driving drunk (allegedly). Why do taxpayers have to provide vehicles to part time, very part time county workers in the first place? Then keep in mind there are seven council members driving around in vehicles paid for by the taxpayers. How much does all of this cost annually? And how many other employees have this benefit? And how much does this folly cost taxpayers?

We should get a listing from Kamenetz's office of every county employee who has a state owed vehicle, a lap top computer, a private wi fi device, a cell phone and similar things that we the taxpayer and private citizen is paying for. How much does all this cost taxpayers?

If Kamenetz's office does not provide this information, all concerned citizens should file a PIA request and demand this data.

It is no wonder that this State, County and Baltimore City is damn near bankrupt. We cannot afford such luxuries and even if we could, why should taxpayers foot the bill for such things? It is irresponsible and makes no sense.

why does he get a county vehicle?

Our county car (its not his), should be taken away immediately.

In reading this article again, it is interesting to read that Tom Quirk, the council chairman had no opinion, dismissing this abhorrent behavior as a personal matter for Todd Huff. Mr. Quick, you should have an opinion as behavior such as this places the County at terrible and needless risk. What would happen if there was some sort of tragedy. The County has its neck stuck out miles.

This still does not answer the question, why do you and the other council people need a County Owned vehicle, for a very part time job? And are those who have such vehicles allowed to use them anytime they want?

The more I learn the more I find this is a pretty good gig you all have going on!

I don't know if PBJ is an option with his priors. http://timonium.patch.com/articles/drunk-driving-gun-charges-emerge-in-council-race

It seems that all of those who have commented on this story are in agreement that we need to do away with county owned vehicles as a job benefit of the councilmen. I think it is time for the people of Baltimore County to start a petition to take the county owned vehicles away from all county councilmen. ALL of the vehicles should be auctioned off and the monies deposited into the county's general funds. Of course, the politicians will then supplement their salaries with automobile expense accounts. That shouls be allowed, but GET RID OF THE COUNTY OWNED VEHICLES!!

Who wants to start the petition?

I fail to see how the actions of 1 councilman is now an indictment on the rest of them. As for the job being part time, I know for a fact that most council members work over 40 hours a week between constituent calls, meetings, emails, hearings, and office hours.

Bah, this is Towson. He will get one of his Elks Lodge buddies as a Judge. They will throw the book at him and then when the hubbub dies down and the press moves on modify the sentence to a PBJ and it will go away.

I just watched it happen to my bosses son with his 7th DUI. He's not even 30 yet.

Councilman Huff should either resign or somehow be removed from the Council.

This is a disgrace and another example of dispicable behavior by member of Government. If this is how he manages his personal affairs, imagine how well he does on the council.

In my few dealings with his office, he is the least responsive councilman I have ever dealt with.

If he is gone, it would be no great loss.

Mr. Huff is a complete asshat. He made a LOT of enemies in his district by the ridiculous amount of upzoning he did - despite the overwhelming consensus not to. Unfortunately, he's in bed with the judges for Baltimore County and will probably skip away from these charges with nary a slap on the wrist. Check the public record and note how he upzoned Judge Turnbull's property beautiful farmland could be turned into a bunch of McMansions despite protests from the neighbors, VPC, and environmental groups. There were rumors that Judge Turnbull was his Godfather that had emerged - not sure if there was substance to that rumor or not - but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised. This guy is about as slippery and slimy as politicians get. The heck with taking away his county-owned wheels, he needs his job taken away. And ALL of us need to stop patronizing Brooks Huff because it just puts more pennies in this idiot's purse! Such a privileged creep...

There is and old saying, "ya got what ya voted for." In his position running the risk is not a good sign of decision making which is what DUI is all about - decision making. A person makes the choice to get behind he wheel.

It is also a fact that each drink impairs that decision making process. Apparently, based on the time lapse from the last incident there could be a persistent problem.

This lack of elected accountability will never stop until the voters decide to stop it.

Not to mention his totally ignoring the residents of Mays Chapel by taking away their only open space despite overwhelming written facts (presented to him) that it is a terrible idea. Is everyone afraid of kamenetz or is there a reward in their future?

It is interesting Mr Huff cites
his previous behavior as "ancient history" as though past behavior in no way predicts future. Tell that to the newly emerging focus groups attempting to define or predict who is stable enough for gun ownership.

This is a good example why the republican party is known as the "stupid party". But to be balanced, after observing what my councilman Olszewski says and does, the democratic party is the "stupider party". We need all new people in office.

Drive hammered, get nailed.

Martin O'Malley could tell us all about that!

Yes, he has grown from his past. He has grown a lot worse.

Hmm not a shocker. Another drunk politician representing.

Going before the judge and getting his due is one thing.

Explaning to his wife why he was out at 3 in the morning might be tougher.

He was most likely engaged with some of his developer friends, planning the next big re-zoning plan....this is the REAL way that things have historically gotten done in Baltimore County...these meetings must just run long...

Here is a prime reason why we need a Drunk Driver Registry as we have with sex offenders. BUT it is because of these Annapolis Drunks is why we will never see a drunk driver registry to protect us from them as it would hit them to close to home...DANG Drunks in Annapolis when will one of them hit a family drunk and kill them ..face it as it is only a matter of time when one does and then what...SUPPORT Drunk Driver Registries before it is too late

Now comes the question of his license being suspended. Most lawyers will tell you not to take the test because if the BAC if over the limit that is prima facie evidence of guilt. Other than the probable cause for the stop no other evidence has to be presented if the BAC is .08 or higher.

On the flip side if your refuse to take the test the suspension is longer anywhere from 90 to 180 days depending on the repeat offender issue.

Judging by the photo you can see the glassiness in his eyes which is a key indicator.

Sam Battle, I agree. So tired of one set of rules from some and another set of rules for the others. As a legal secretary and a husband that is a former parole officer, this has got to stop...and you know how? We the citizens need to wake up and make a big deal about who we elect and look into their past. Once we see "red flags" such as his, we need to make sure enough people hear about it to make a difference and hopefully influence others not to vote for them. I agree with the Drunk Driver Registry...great idea. f from Perry Hall

DUI is different than DWI. Driving under the influence vs. driving while intoxicated.

Now there are officers trained in drug detection in those cases where a a person may have a BAC of .00 and still be impaired.

Buck that was a good one on the glazed eyes and doughnuts.

Well Todd you finally got caught and I applaud the Police for locking your butt up, the nerve of you to appeal to the Officers for you being drunk to let you go because your a councilman. Your position in the county government does not give you special permission to go get drunk and place citizens in danger of being injured or killed especially with a county car, you are a total jerk and I hope the judge and county government kicks your ass good. You are a drunk so you better get some help as you are a disgrace and should be fired immediately if your fellow members and KK standup to your drunken adventure.

CAN MAYBE "PATCH" Help its readers in starting a petition to get a DRUNK DRIVER REGISTRY and help us push it to the right people in Annapolis to get this passed to protect all of us from these Killers...

Hey Jim, remember when Col. Adams plowed into the rear of that car right down form the old headquarters?

It is so funny, when people in law enforcement, legal law and government immediately start using there power and start saying who they are like they are above us the people who put these candya$$ in office like they will just be let go.

The councilman made a terrible mistake that he will pay for but most of the comments are out of line. First he's a conscientious councilman. You may not like his decisions but he researches the issues and listens to his constituients. Agree or disagree he puts in the time and tries to work with everyone. Some who are claiming its a part job ,well please ask to follow them around for a week and tell me how part time it is. You who claim this are either ignorant or ill informed.Im certain he will lose his county car privilges,as he should. He should not resign from the council.he should be very thankful he didn't hurt anyone and move on . This can be a teachable moment. People make mistakes it how you respond to them that matters.

Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law

R Dongarra, a couple of points that go against the grain of you're argument. First he ran for office. He wanted to be a councilman. Second, the issues he has been involved in have formed a pattern of transgressions through the years. Not a god sign of maturity or ability to deal with issues.

He has made mistakes and not learned how to deal with them. Trust me there are other issues as well that have not been reported. More on that later.

Re: R Dongarra's comment... "This can be a teachable moment." If this was his first offense, I might fall for that line. But this is not his first offense. Check his public records. And that's just when he wasn't able to talk himself out of the ticket - like I'm sure he tried his darnedest to do early this morning. If he had learned from his first offense, he wouldn't be charged with DUI yet again. He need to resign and sober up before he kills someone.

Councilman Tom Quirk said it was a "personal matter" really? Are you kidding me he was in a county vehicle, a new Jeep Grand Cherokee at that. Maybe the council members should have small white compact cars like other county employees have to drive everyday. But there cars would have Baltimore County government license plates and in big letters the words BALTIMORE COUNTY COUNCIL PERSON written on the front, sides, rear, and roof of the cars.

A .20 is all the state needs to prove guilt. A .20 is almost 3 times the legal limit. That is why you sign your drivers license because you agree to that stipulation of implied consent.

That high of a BAC is not a good sign. At a .40 you will die from alcohol poising. It takes as while to build up that kind of tolerance.

On another issue a DUI registry does not work. We tried that when I was still on the job and we only went after multiple repeat offenders. The numbers are staggering and the time consumed with a limited amount of manpower was useless.

One of the most effective tools is vehicle confiscation of DWI offenders.

An outstanding probable course statement

A couple of huge problems as I see it. First Huff campaigned against all the 'perks' that were enjoyed by McIntyre and other councilmen, but drives a very nice county-owned car that council members can opt out of. Secondly, his statements when he was running that his transgressions were 'ancient history'...well that's not true either. There is also this real arrogance as read in the police report, and the officer was wise in calling her supervisor to the scene. As if by his 'status' he should be given a free pass and driven home, and then to actually call the Chief of Police is really, really offensive behavior. Mr. Huff has much bigger issues than just whether he should finish his term. (like Buzz, I have heard plenty of other 'stories' about this councilman). The 3rd district will survive without him, Mr. Huff, at his age, and possessing that kind of 'above the law' attitude, would be much better advised to focus on his own personal problems first. We live in a forgiving nation. If he can address his problems, and turn his life around, he is still young enough to make a comeback. I do wish him all the best as a person first and foremost.

Sitting on the Baltimore Council with all those Liberal Wackos is enough to make anybody drink

Hey Buzz and Jim we all know what the outcome will be on Monday the officer will be working pc2 or 12.

What was the BAC? Also I have seen Huff in the bars where he has fundraisers for his supporters on a couple of occassions. I don't recall him being drunk, but I know he has had some run ins with the law as mentioned in this article. Probably time for him to go.

Buck Harmon. IT IS A FACT. Liar

Frank, no transfers. That would be very foolish for Kamenetz or Johnson to do that. Right now it's not their problem and the police did their job.

If they did step in some way there would be too much political fallout.

MD FAN you are correct there are other issues out there and they are not pretty. The facts must be verified first just to make sure.

Kinda makes you wonder who else was at the Elk's Club Party...

MD's DUI law:

http://www.ncdd.com/duilawsinyourstate.php?location=Maryland

What scares me is that I see alot of bad drivers that are probably not under the influence.

Getting a quote from the BCRCC Chairman on this issue is like getting swimming lessons from Ted Kennedy.

Amen...I totally agree with you Daughter...I could not have said it better!

"BUZZ"

Your comment " On another issue a DUI registry does not work. We tried that when I was still on the job and we only went after multiple repeat offenders. The numbers are staggering and the time consumed with a limited amount of manpower was useless."

So are you saying that Registries are not the answer ?? Then why are we spending millions on the sex offender registry and TONS of manpower when at a time police depts are short handed. I have heard they have tons of officers on light duty that could handle the work of more registries to help combat crime as the one for sex offenders does. And they claim the sex offender registry is working and sex crimes are down"LOL" Have they read the news lately? If only the public knew the truth about public registries maybe there would be more of them and all CRIME would go to record lows unless we are being lied to by these vote grabbers in Annapolis and or some registries would hit too close to home ?? And did you know the first real sex offender registry was suppose to be for the worse of the worse and now stupid stuff can get you on it for many years to come. So I feel that more is needed to combat crime as we ALL know Law Enforcement on the most part has their hands tied and the other half don't care as long as their paycheck is in their bank on payday.

The latest reports indicate he will now find jesus , become evangelical and run for president like his George Bush.

In all sincerity it's news because he's a civil servant and I'm glad no one was injured. Don't drink then drive , put the cell phones away while operating vehicles, pay attention to the task at hand.

County cars are a taxpayer funded useless expense. If KK wants to be as fiscally responsible as he claims, these should be taken away. As to Mr. Huff, the price of doing business with him is happy hour. Nice enough guy but not exactly a secret that he has a drinking problem, like out almost every night getting pickled. People ignore it because of his position but those in the know, and there are many, know he has a reputation as a foul mouthed alcoholic. Heard a year or so back that he was so drunk at a party that he was screaming obscenities at his staff. Hope he gets into AA and cleans up his life before he gets behind the wheel again. Intervention time for anyone ballsy enough to do it.

I can say that this man has had this coming for over a decade. I knew him personally and by the looks of this article and the police report, he hasn't changed a bit or sought help for his drinking problem. I can absolutely hear him saying "Do you know who I am?" because that is the type of cocky man he has always been. Being a councilman was just a power kick to him. I say he should lose his position immediately and sadly, he will probably get a PBJ as it was the first time he was caught and not let go. I put money on it that he's been caught before and just paid off the cop.

B. Ridge, I can say your are correct in him attempting to use his influence with the police.

There are two more incidents out there yet to be covered. In the one case I was told that he did attempt several times to use that influence. The facts must be verified first.

When Cal Ripken Sr. got pulled over a charged for drinking while driving ( not sure the exact charge) were you all calling for him to be fired by the Orioles ? ( before he even had his day in court?)

do not hang around an fraternal of police bull roast.
you will see many unmarked poolice cars.

what do you think the poeple have been doing at the bull rpat for 5 hours?

Red, Ripken did not take an oath and work for the taxpayers. Private business is different.

BUZZ ::

By reading your link ""You spoke about the sex offender register list and here are some studies on that.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/08/110830165016.htm

It kinda tells the truth that we are being lied to by the fools in annapolis on sex offender laws and more so the registry as study after study has shown it does not in fact work and in many cases causes more issues than it resolves. If this is so true why are we being lied to by those in washington and annnapolis by telling us that this Million even maybe Billion dollar list is working so great or is it just a great vote grabber at the cost of taxpayers.

I hope the county council suspends the use of a county car to this councilman who everyone knows will be found Guilty, and given Probation before Judgement, and he will pay a fine, and some type of community service a slap on the hand.
Why should the county tax payers be paying for anyone who has a take home car, who is using it for personal use. Everyone else is paying $3.80 a gallon for gasoline while these politician screw the public with higher taxes, and they drive for free on the county, and the county picks up the car insurance. WOW!!

hey BRAD why do you think they do not mind raising the gas taxes all the time as they most likely do not pay for their gas either....WE DO ..win win for them

Kamenetz should be required to give "we the people" a listing of all the County take home vehicles, to whom they are assigned to, how much the vehicle cost, how old is it, how many miles and how much does the assigned party pay for personal use. While you at at it Mr. County Executive, let us have the same information for cell phone, usage charge, lap tops and wifi charges. This will give taxpayers an idea of how much we are paying for this stuff. We should know who is driving around in take home vehicles, and this listing should not be limited to the council members, it should include all the individuals who have this perk.

How much does the county spend for Gasoline and diesel every month for these vehicles? Does anyone in County Government know?

If he Kamenetz doesn't provide this information, we should ask for it under the freedom of information provisions.

Curious that so much time has been invested in expressing opinions. It seems obvious that Mr. Huff has 1. a problem with unearned arrogance and 2. a problem with alcohol and poor judgement. What really concerns me is that attitude that land should not be put into conservation. As the population of this country grows from 3 to 4 to 500 million, one thing will remain fixed (or, worse yet, diminish due to climate change and sea level rise) and that is land. The value of the small amount of remaining open land will increase, often greatly, as people want to live there, yet there won't be much available. When the Valleys Planning Council fought to preserve open space in Greenspring, Caves and the adjoining valleys, in the 70's, what happened to property values there? They skyrocketed. Development has to be curtailed, simply because land owners are very short sighted, with little regard for long term good. Councilman Huff has shown little vision, and an eagerness to destroy what open land remains for quick profits. Conservation requires vision, and we do it for a reason, and that reason is not greed or immediate satisfaction.

Sam, there are many reasons why the politicians lie. The biggest reason is accountability. They want to stay in power and will do just about anything to achieve that. The public is uninformed and apathetic, two bad combinations.

The last primary in Baltimore County was one of the lowest on record. My best guess is that his problem will stem from the fact this is his first term and this kind of event will not endear him to his constituents. He does not have the longevity and if challenged by a possible contender, I think he will lose.

As for the sex offender problem, it lies in the hands of the system. Same as DWI's; it's the repeat offenders that constitute the problem.

It's a simple fact the longer the bad guys stay in jail the lower the crime rate. The city's homicide rate involves 80% who are repeat offenders according to the Sun.

Do you think that Huff follows these blogs...?

Evets, go into the local grocery story and ask several people who their councilman is or what district they live in or any political or history question.

If you remember I stated in the last primary we had one of the lowest turnouts in the states history.

This link may convince you.

That is why we are ranked poorly in the areas in science and math among developed nations.. The sad part is that these people are the future of this nation.

Buck they all follow these blogs and you can take that to the bank. I'm sure he is or will read how the people think.

I speak with these people several times a month and can tell who cares and who doesn't. That is in fact sad. As far as this incident, only with Councilman Huff. I agree he be treated like any other "normal" citizen should be treated and if he doesn't like the judge at the District Court, he can pray a jury trial and get a hearing in the Circuit Court and hope for better. This is the part that is unfortnate. He WILL pray a Jury Trial, he will leave the disposition up to whomever judge and ofcourse not a jury. I say he gets PBJ, a fine, and that's that. BUT I believe the Judge should send him to a 28 week alcohol education program, require interlock be installed in all vehicles (including county) AND with that interlock being installed in the said County vehicle, it is our councilpersons responsibility to pay for the installation and maintenance on it. And after this, I love the idea that a "committee" be established (which I'll look into) to actuallty do backgrounds inc. MVA... Hey, I need a new job and I'll head the committee, don't need a car...I'll be good lol. But, after the conviction, I still see him in office unless he is demanded to resign by KK. So sad and I truly, from living with someone with a problem, I truly, hope and pray that he gets treatment for himself and for his family. That alone would be the rising out of the ashes from his actual "personal matter." Sorry, just threw some points and ideas out didn't mean to feel like I was at work!

Republicans are shamefully embarrassing hypocrites for calling for GOP Councilman Todd Huff to stay in office when he ought to be tried, convicted and put in prison. IS THREE TIMES FOR DUI NOT ENOUGH FOR A COUNCILMAN, MUCH LESS ANYONE TO BE FREE TO DRIVE OUR ROADS DRUNK SO AS TO INJURE OR KILL OTHER DRIVERS?????

How sick! How sad! No wonder the GOP isn't a real political party in Maryland or Baltimore County. Had this been a Democrat, the right-wing tea partiers would be calling for him to resign immediately and then: 'off with his head." Mere hypocrites from the SO-CALLED "FAMILY VALUES" PARTY! Live up to this one, GOP!

I wonder who else except perhaps Steve Whalen is going to contribute to this shake down? google Kevin Kamenetz and this pops us. Wow!

Buzz: you would know this, how many supervisors in the police dept have take home cars? How many of these supervisors live out of Baltimore County, such as Carroll County, Westminister, Harford County, Anne Arundel County and in Pennsylvania? Sergeants & Lieutenants in specialize units and Captains, Majors have take home cars. These supervisors have access to these take home vehicles and drive these vehicles to and from work. Some are seen at Raven games, and Orioles games. With gas prices this high, why should the Baltimore County tax payers be paying for a free ride & insurance for these supervisors? Why can't they drive their personal vehicle to their place of employment, and then drive their duty vehicle from their duty assignment? Other people are taking the bus, or driving their own cars to their place of employment. It would be a good idea to have a public list, listing all the people who have take home cars including Baltimore County Council, we should know what type of mileage is being put on these vehicles, and what it is costing the Baltimore Tax payers.

I just got off the phone with Julie, from the Baltimore County Department of Human Resources (410 887 3135). She was very polite. When I told her I wanted to file a freedom of information request, she asked for the subject. When I told her I wanted to find out how much these county vehicles, computers, cell phone and wi fi devices for the seven council representatives are costing Maryland taxpayers, she politely said, "I will have to transfer you to the law department". I asked her if the law department had an email address, she said, "I have to transfer you to the law department, at which time I said, "thanks I'll send an email to Kamenetz", and I will sometime today. If anyone is interested in contacting Kamenetz, his email address is: Kevin@baltimorecountymd.gov.

Someone in the County Government must be held accountable for this debacle and outrageous expense that taxpayers are picking up on this boondoggle. Mr. Kamenetz please tell me to whom I should send this freedom of information request. My email address is dumbcastle1@gmail.com. I'll be looking forward to hearing from your law department or you Mr. Kamenetz! thank you!

How many citizens knew that council members are provided a County Car, gas etc? I'll bet very few.

The line that took me back to my days as a municipal prosecutor (in Oklahoma) was where he informed the officer that "You stopped me on my own property." Most of the people who contested traffic stops were either innocent or had some folksy / urban legend of a defense, like "if I make it to my own driveway before the police can arrest me, I'm innocent." I had one guy lead them on a high speed chase that ended with him jumping the curb into his front yard in order to make that defense.
(It didn't work then, either.)

Jack, I'll get back to you on those issues. Use my e-mail, buzz@buzzbeeler.com

Buzz I sure do, him being the deputy Chief and drinking his usual liquid lunch he crashed the cop car into the rear of another at York and Ridgely lolllllllllllll another jerk

He gonna walk away Just like Carl Snowden did wanna bet? Still on the Job an d collecting a county Check..He might be driving a county car as we post.

How about we strip huff of his citizenship, excommunicate him and throw him into loch raven naked. Will that satisfy everyone before his trial?

What he did was stupid and irresponsible for anyone. But he deserves a trial and is presumed innocent.
It is up to the voters in his district to decide if they want him to represent him on the council

Moe, Al was reassigned to the Truck Squad. He as a corporal was in charge of Traffic Management when I was there. He was replaced by a sergeant who now takes home the SUV.

The supervisor of TM is involved in any major highway event in the county. This could be anything from road closures due to crashes or parades and funerals.

So instead of a corporal running the show, it's now a sergeant who answers to the captain.

Support Operations consist of Traffic Management, K-9, the truck safety unit and TACT along with the school guards and abandoned auto unit to the best of my memory.

Why in the world do the taxpayers of Baltimore County have to provide a vehicle for any councilman?
How many other counties are using taxpayer funds so the councilman can drive around in a shiney new car?
This is totaly a misuse of funds. .........and should stop immediately

honey, I suspect most counties give their councils access to cars for county business; not sure if any others give them cars to use full time. Also, from this article, there is no way to know if it's "shiney new".

That "Luxury" Jeep you all are so concerned about is a hand-me-down.. A former unmarked police vehicle, with a LOT of police miles on it (those are worse than teenager miles).

bob, what difference does that make? It is still dangerous and we paid for it and it shows - once again - poor leadership skills in his decision making process.

The perks seem to violate the spirit of public service at this level...very odd indeed.

Certainly, it's a tough to deal with DUI or DWI legal cases. It might lead you to many adverse outcomes and it should not be considered casually.
