Last Friday Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich stopped by Carroll Community College for a visit. Although technically not my governor since I live in PA I was interested to see him and see what he had to say. I was standing around chatting with Tom waiting for the Gov to show when this guy approached us. Some fellow who was running for some sort of county office, think it might have been commissioner. He introduced himself to us and I let him know I didn’t live in Carroll County since housing was cheaper in PA. So he says if he is elected he would work to reduce the cost of housing. Tom chimes in saying he doesn’t want the cost to go down since he was a landowner. The fellow made a quick exit to another group of individuals mulling around. The exchange made for a good chuckle.
Ehrlich finally showed up. The college president Dr. Pappalardo said a couple words along with Maryland State Senator Larry Haines. The Gov talked for awhile about Carroll County and education. Overall the experience was pretty neat. I usually don’t get that involved in the political stuff and usually don’t get to see too many state government representatives.
Pictures were taken by Bryan, I have a bunch of them here in my gallery.
