Today, we induct Howard County Councilmember Liz Walsh (District 1) into the Hall of Shame. Why, you ask? Is it because of her obstruction of affordable housing?
That would be reason enough, but no. The Hall of Shame is not necessarily intended to highlight political differences, but rather, people behaving badly.
I’d say putting down your fellow duly-elected Councilmembers using a vulgar name qualifies, no?
Now, I’ve been known to use colorful language a time or two. (Hard to believe, I know.) And I have said regrettable things out of exhaustion or exasperation or both. I think we could probably forgive Ms. Walsh for this outburst were it not for her apology… that repeated the offending word.
I hope Ms. Walsh got some R&R on her vacation.
