Matt Candland will move into the Carlisle manager’s office July 2


Former Sykesville Town Manager Matt Candland will move into the Carlisle PA manager’s office July 2

Municipal salaries: Carlisle borough manager will join the six-figure club

By ELIZABETH GIBSON, The Patriot-News Wednesday, June 20, 2012




Matt Candland will become Carlisle's borough manager next month.

The salary to be paid to the midstate’s newest municipal manager puts him in the enviable $100,000 club.

Matt Candland will move into the Carlisle manager’s office July 2 and be paid $115,000. His salary will jump to $117,834 on Jan. 1.

Borough officials are defending his $115,000 annual salary, $15,000 in moving expenses and other benefits, saying Candland’s pay was set using a contract template that the borough approved in 2010.

The framework is based on guidelines from national and state municipal advisory agencies.

“We’re paying what the market is. We’re not paying above it or below it,” borough council President Perry Heath said Tuesday.

A national municipal association agrees. Wages to be paid the 46-year-old Candland are on target for managers in towns the size of Carlisle, according to a 2011 report by the International County/City Management Association.

Based on 2009 data gathered by The Patriot-News, there were just four midstate municipal managers making $100,000 or more.

Yet Michele Frisby, spokeswoman for the International County/City Management Association, said… http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/06/municipal_salaries_carlisle_bo.html

Breaking News from The Herald-Mail

Monday morning, June 25, 2012


The U.S. Supreme Court this morning upheld Maryland's new congressional map, clearing up one last legal question and affirming that the state's prison population can be counted at their last known address.

Republican lawmakers are trying to gather enough signatures to put the congressional map on the ballot this fall. They have until the end of this month to submit the nearly 56,000 signatures needed to trigger a referendum on the map. … http://www.herald-mail.com/breakingnews/bal-supreme-court-upholds-md-congressional-map-20120625%2C0%2C3346680.story

This afternoon I had a substantive and positive conversation with former Lieutenant Governor and RNC Chairman Michael Steele.
The conversation came about in a roundabout way. After I posted my most recent blog piece about his future plans, two Steele supporters started complaining about what I wrote, leaving or attempting to leave aggressive and sometimes antagonistic comments on my blog. One of them even sent me an email telling me I was “demanded” to contact Steele so he could set the record straight.

Supreme Court deals blow to unions

By David G. Savage

JewishWorldReview.com


WASHINGTON—(MCT)The U.S. Supreme Court sharply criticized public-sector unions for using money from nonmembers to fund special political campaigns, stepping into the intense political debate about such unions and signaling that new constitutional limits may be coming.

The justices ruled Thursday that the Service Employees International Union in California violated the First Amendment rights of its dissident members by taking extra fees from their paychecks in 2005. The money was used to fight two anti-union ballot measures.

"This aggressive use of power by the SEIU to collect fees from nonmembers is indefensible," said Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., speaking for the court's majority. "When a public-sector union imposes a special assessment or dues increase, the union ... may not exact any funds from nonmembers without their affirmative consent."

The court fight carried echoes of the recent battles in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states where Republican governors sought to limit the power of public-sector unions, and the two dissenters Thursday made reference to those tensions… http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0612/supreme_court_unions.php3

On March 5, 2010 Bernie Jones, a member of the Carroll Community College Foundation board of directors, introduced Timothy A. Dixon as a guest speaker for an author’s book talk at the 13th annual Random House Book Fair. Tim Dixon wrote a book, “Maryland’s First Black State Treasurer” about his father Richard N. Dixon.

It is a sad circumstance that in the past two weeks, we have said farewell to two people who have meant so much to our community.

Last week we mourned the loss of Westminster's Stan Ruchlewicz.

This week, our county and our state said good-bye to a dedicated public official and pioneer, Richard N. Dixon.

Dixon, 74, a New Windsor resident, former Maryland state treasurer and member of the House of Delegates, died June 7 from complications of a stroke. After a service on June 12, in the Murphy Fine Arts Center at Morgan State University, he was laid to rest in St. Luke's United Methodist Church Cemetery in Sykesville.


Those active in Carroll County leadership in the 1970s through the 2002 knew Dixon as a steadfast, consistent and stalwart public servant.

He set the standard for representational government and constituent service. He never failed to represent the best interests of the voters from Carroll County, and did so with uncommon wisdom and uncanny common sense.

I vividly recall several years ago — it was March 5, 2010 — when Dixon's son, Timothy Dixon, gave an author's book talk at the 13th annual Random House Book Fair at Carroll Community College… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0617-20120615,0,2507351.story

Appreciation: Stan Ruchlewicz brought knowledge, expertise and main street values to Westminster

Appreciation: Stan Ruchlewicz brought knowledge, expertise and main street values to Westminster



This is a photo that I took of Stan from the roof of the old firehouse building on Main Street, on May 8, 2004. Stan and I had gone there to gather a bird's eye view of the city. That day we were up there for hours, brainstorming and discussing economic development and planning ideas for Westminster.

Stan was recognized by many as a leading authority on planning and economic development for small communities. Because he was also an artist, he understood the value of a vibrant arts and culture presence in a community and he was good at thinking out of the box. He had a wonderful sense of humor and he clearly understood that it was not good enough to be the best, you had to be nice, and Stan was one of the nicest public officials I have ever worked with in my forty-years of working with the public.

I'm really sad about Stan's passing. It is a great personal loss for me and a huge loss for the Westminster and Maryland.

++++++++++++++++++


Stan Ruchlewicz, the City of Westminster's administrator of economic development and Main Street manager, died June 5.

The news in Westminster spread quickly Tuesday that he had suffered a heart attack earlier in the day.

Ruchlewicz came to Westminster in May 2001 from Havre de Grace, where he had been hired in 1989 as the town's director of planning and zoning. During his time there, he worked with then-mayor, now Harford County Executive David Craig….
