It was standing room only at the Mount Airy, MD board of supervisors of elections citizens’ meeting on March 8, 2010 in the town hall council chambers.
The chair of the elections board, Bruce Walz, banged the gavel and brought the short, 20-minute meeting to order at precisely 7 p.m.
At the meeting, current Mount Airy Mayor Peter Helt nominated Mr. Chris Everich by citing a Bible verse from Proverbs 15:22: “Without counsel, plans go awry. But in the multitude of counselors they are established.”
Mayor Helt added: “In short it is better to get the opinion of many counselors than to have a bunch of yes men. I have found Chris Everich to be a good counselor and not a yes man. Chris can be talked to, reasoned with and learned from.
“Most important to me is the fact that he has proven he can do the job by making the transition from citizen to councilman.
“When you are a citizen it is ok to be selfish. To only look out for your interests ands the interests of your group.
“As a member of the counsel you have to look out for the town as a whole, your mind set must change. Some people are unable to make that transition. Chris has proven he can.
“For these reasons I am glad to nominate Chris Everich to confine his role as a councilman for the town.”
