The former head of the Baltimore County Republican Central Committee says Councilman Todd Huff shouldn't resign his seat.
and charged with drunken driving-related offenses after an intoximeter test showed his blood alcohol level to be more than twice the legal limit, according to court records.
In 2009, Chris Cavey, then the chairman of the county party, called for the resignation of then Councilman Sam Moxley following the Catonsville Democrat's second drunken driving arrest.
But Moxley didn't resign and was not forced out of office. He ultimately decided not to run for re-election in 2010.
Cavey said that set the bar for how all County Councilmembers should be treated.
"I think everybody was lenient with [Moxley] the second time around," Cavey said. "this is Todd's first time around. I think all councilmembers should be treated equally regardless of party. Let's see if they are.
"Deep down in my soul, I believe they should be treated equally," said Cavey, whose job once was to be "the most partisan Republican in Baltimore County."
Now, three years removed from that post, Cavey said he's not "calling for [Huff's] head."
"If they cut Moxley a break, they should give Todd a break," Cavey said.
"Don't you know who I am?" Huff asked the officer, according to a statement of charges released to Patch. "You stopped me on my own property." The officer noted in the statement of charges that Huff smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred and his eyes had a glassy appearance. Huff failed three field sobriety tests, according to the statement. At several points he asked officers if they "really need to be doing this." "You need to take me home and be done with this," police quote Huff in the charging documents. "You can just drive me home I will leave the car parked here." ... (then Huff calls Baltimore County Police Chief Jim Johnson directly...!) Thankfully, the officer at the scene did what he had to do. There wasn't any special treatment this time, but it sure sounds like Todd Huff was expecting some... http://timonium.patch.com/articles/huff-charged-with-dui
Probably gets him invited to the Elks Club parties though..
How sick! How sad! No wonder the GOP isn't a real political party in Maryland or Baltimore County. Had this been a Democrat, the right-wing tea partiers would be calling for him to resign immediately and then: 'off with his head." Mere hypocrites from the SO-CALLED "FAMILY VALUES" PARTY! Live up to this one, GOP!
Let's see setting the bar; Like the Limbo Rock, "how low can you go!" A lot of thought must have gone into that statement. Moxley leaves the council with a pension and is rehired to the Kamenetz administration with two DWI arrests. Chris how can you raise the bar when it's already on the floor and no one has the will to lift it. Then again what bar are you talking about? There are a lot of them in Towson. It sounds to me as if you are putting the cart before the horse or in this case the bottle because you speak of deals with the courts and not with the sound judgement it takes to be an elected official of our government. I can see one transgression but not what is already out there and what is to come. This is not the person who should be leading us in this particular role.
One party is terrible, the other even worse. Human rights and social policy ultimately tend to tip me towards the Dems, however it doesn't prevent me from voting against them on referendums such as the gambling referendum or the "Dream" Act. People who are purely one side or the other - these are the people who seriously scare me. You have to be a special kind of ignorant (I'll be polite here) to fall into this category.
Now she to is dead.
