An answer to Mr. Duck’s question about Port Tobacco
September 4th, 2007
Dear Mr. Delusional Duck,
Of course, you are aware that there is no such thing as a silly question.
Although I have not dealt with Port Tobacco officials in recent years, to the best of my knowledge, Port Tobacco is still a functioning municipality with active government officials and an active government. I just called the executive director of the Maryland Municipal League, Scott Hancock and he confirmed it.
The current information on Port Tobacco can be found on the Maryland Municipal League web site, which can be found here: http://www.mdmunicipal.org/mmlhome/index.cfm

If the information is not readily available on the web site, there are phone numbers on the web site for you to call a Maryland Municipal League staff member (http://www.mdmunicipal.org/about/staff.cfm) who you will find to be very much in the customer service business and will be very helpful and knowledgeable.

Disclosure: I served on the Maryland Municipal League Board of Directors annually for five consecutive years, from June 2000 to May 2005.
I graduated from the University of Maryland Academy for Excellence in Local Government in June 2001.
I served on the Maryland Municipal League’s Legislative Committee in 1999-2000 and 2001-2002.
I served as Secretary/Treasurer of the Carroll County Chapter of the Maryland Municipal League for five years (12/07/1999 – 05/16/2005).
I was first elected to the Westminster City Council in May of 1999 and served as the Mayor of Westminster from May 2001 until May 16th, 2005.]
Any additional questions – never hesitate to be in touch. Although I am no longer an elected municipal official, I remain passionate about the good work most local municipal government performs for the citizens we serve. I have not a clue as to why all urban concentrations are not incorporated. Local folks making decisions for local families is always the best way to preserve and protect quality of life and health, safety and welfare.
