The handful of Charles County commissioner hopefuls who’ve already thrown their hats into the ring have all stressed a lack of transparency and communication between government and community as something they will cure, but commissioners’ president candidate Jim Thompson (R) is singing a different tune about frustration with the county seat.

“It’s not a lack of communication; it’s a lack of common sense. [The commissioners] are not part of the average, everyday person in the county,” Thompson said. “The commissioners we have have never made hard choices. … They’ve said ‘yes’ to everything. It’s not any one individual, but collectively they’ve been irresponsible.”

Holy cow!  Can we please get an articulate, well-spoken candidate with a clear path of professional past experience? Or at least can these people hire a good communications director to prevent them from throwing up all over there web pages. Seriously!?

I am a very open person. What you see is what you get. Many of the issue in this election I addressed in my 2006 campaign. My views have not changed with the “climate”.

I am not a career politician or do I ever plan to be. My goal is to get this county turned around. I believe that government only becomes complicated when those who govern try to hide what their true agenda is. When people see through this hypocrisy the response is always, the public does not understand because they are stupid.

I do not think the public is stupid. I do believe the public has lost faith that elected officials will solve anything. I made a career of being a trouble shooter and a problem solver.
