Thoughts, Ideas and Viewpoints by Senator Art Helton

Recently, Mark Tyler, Aberdeen Patch Editor, asked me if I would be willing to become a regular blogger for Patch.

Fully realizing that I could open myself up for personal comments and criticism I have cautiously agreed to take on this new role. He has given me great latitude in the scope of subjects, thoughts and ideas with which I could expound. My initial thoughts relating to subjects I might cover would include Business and Politics in Aberdeen, Harford County, Maryland, and the federal government.

Hopefully my years as a successful business person, my role as a community activst, and my service as a member of the Harford County Council and the Maryland Senate will allow me to have a ranging and diverse perspective on these many subjects. Patch readers are free to make comments of agreement or disagreement with my points of view. It is impossible for us to always be in total harmony with each other on the issues and situations that occur on a daily basis. The one thing we ought to be able to agree on is to have our discourse in a civil manner.
