TGR: Will Leronia Josey Make County History?
(RANDALLSTOWN - March 17, 2010) - More importantly, can she make a difference? Bring an air of rejuvenation to an otherwise sluggish piece of turf?
Baltimore County Councilman Ken Oliver could have his hands full this election season - that is, if Ms. Josey decides to put her bid in for his seat. I think she can shake things up. While Oliver is the first black to serve on the County Council, a loss to Josey would make her the first black woman to serve on the Baltimore County Council - a crew that consists mostly of white males. Move over, guys!
A black president; a possible black governor; seems only logical to me.

Don't we want to know where our money goes? How it is spent? Who gets the contracts? Who decides?
