Campaign Trail: Patrick McGrady on City Council

The Aberdeen mayoral candidate talks about his relationship with the City Council members.

Patch caught up with Aberdeen mayoral candidates Patrick McGrady and incumbent Mayor Michael Bennett on the campaign trail and asked them a variety of questions about the state of the city of Aberdeen. We'll post a new segment of each interview about a different topic as the Nov. 8 election nears.

Mr. McGrady never spoke to me!

sorry! out of town and using my husband's laptop, so comment came through his account. I have never been approached by mr McGrady since he declared himself a candidate for mayor. He must not realize he is only one of 5 votes to enact any change. He's very bold in all of his "i will's", without consideration of the rest of the council's views.

I have not had any personal conversations with Mr. McGrady since he announced that he was running for Mayor of Aberdeen. I was in attendance at an "ACT" public meeting that Mr. McGrady did speak at last month. For the record, there are not many issues that Mr. McGrady and I seem to agree on, after hearing his answers to questions asked to him at that meeting.

Just like not having a referendum vote to change the terms of office, nobody on the council thought about the voting public's views. Maybe the citizens that you claim that you serve don't want a 5 headed monster that thinks in sync and rubber stamps everything. By the way, was the council consulted about the shill trip to Georgia?

I told two of my employees that I had to lay them off yesterday. We all had a good laugh until IRead More told them it was not a joke. I did tell them that it was because of something some evil Republican congressman had done, and that seemed to make them feel a lot better.

Worst April Fools joke: the Maryland Legislature, our beloved leader M. O'Malley, and the poorRead More suffering citizens who are unfortunate to live the Peoples Republic of Maryland. It just keeps getting better and better. When will the idiots who keep voting in the same big spending, big taxing Democrats over and over again, ever learn?
