A new fight is brewing in the politics of growth in Frederick County, this time revolving around how one defines "friend."
Adam Avery of Frederick, host of 930 AM WFMD's "Senior Talk Radio" and an emerging outspoken figure in local politics, announced this week that he is president and owner of a new organization called "Friends of Frederick County Inc."
Avery's new group is intended to be the opposite of "Friends of Frederick County," which emerged in the 2006 election to fight what it considers to be urban sprawl and poorly planned development.
Instead of fighting development, however, Avery said his group will encourage it and highlight the benefits growth brings.
"I found [Friends of Frederick County] to be poorly organized and poorly funded," Avery said. "And I wanted to bring a positive light to the men and women who risk their [financial] lives to bring businesses to Frederick County."
But Friends of Frederick County is not pleased with Avery's move... http://www.gazette.net/stories/08122010/frednew154724_32535.php
