From Friends of Art Helton:
Mary Dulaney-James’ news release on May 13, 2014, implying she alone was instrumental in bringing state funding to Harford County to repair its roads, is another example of her misleading statements to the citizens of Harford.
James stated she personally went to Annapolis “…determined Harford County receive its fair share of funding for fixing our roads.” The News Release goes on to say, “The Maryland General Assembly, through the hard work of Delegate Mary Dulaney-James, approved money out of the Transportation Trust Fund specifically for road repairs after the harsh winter.”
What Mary Dulaney-James didn’t say about fixing the roads in Harford County.
1. The funding, approved by Governor O’Malley and members of the General Assembly was approved during the recent legislative session, according to a news release by the Governor.
2. To be eligible to participate in the one-time transportation grant program, all County Governments and Baltimore City were required to apply for the funding by April 23. Each had to agree to use their grant solely for repairs to local roads damaged by the recent winter weather.
3. The funding from the Transportation Trust Fund is being split among the 24 jurisdictions based on the number of roadway miles maintained by each local government.
4. The $452,769 allocated to Harford County was based on 1,051.486 road miles maintained by the County. The $10,000,000 allocated to all counties and Baltimore City was based on road mileage only.
JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE DULANEY-JAMES’ SELF AGGRANDIZING NEWS RELEASES

I’am not a bit surprised at Miss Delaney’s Actions
Jeff Baker says
Art is one to talk. Where exactly do you live Art or are you still confused?
Pavel314 says
Don’t be too hard on Art; Einstein used to forget where he lived when he taught at Princeton.
Concerned Teacher says
At least MDJ is just being misleading. Art is officially a liar, as proven in court. Where do you sleep? What is the address listed on your tax returns? Are they the same? If I was a real estate mogul I could have twenty potential addresses on hand whenever I needed to “live” in a particular district as well.
mostly blue says
Delegate James guards to the rescue!!! Helton only pointed out the aggrandized view of a delegate who voted against gas tax increases only to brag about getting more transportation funds for her district in the end. This way you can be against big tax increases but benefit from their implementation in the end anyway. That’s the best kind of politician, the one’s who are for nothing and take claim for anything good from government. The Tea Party and their cohorts will invariably seek to reelect this fraud another time.
politicalhack says
PROVING THAT THE DAGGER WILL POST ANYTHING. Who was in annapolis how do we know she didn’t get this funding?
LazyDog says
it clearly says above that she played no hand in “securing” funding for the county. The bill was already presented and approved, then signed by OweMalley…
She just came back to state that she somehow had a hand in it, when in reality – she didn’t.
Otto Schmidlap says
Have M-DJ’s racist staffers been put on trial, yet? Did they pay for property damage in Annapolis, or will that be left up to the taxpayer?
Gene pool cleaner says
Exactly what are those “things” Art gets done ?
Al J Thong says
Voting or even believing Helton is kinda like this…..One day you grab the milk out of the frig and as always you smell it and its sour so…..you put it back in the frig for thirty goddamn years and expect it to smell any better?
Daddy Rabbit says
The sour milk allusion is a great one Al. I’m glad to see you back posting. You and I have both been screwed by Art and his puppet. I just can’t believe that what passes for journalism in this county hasn’t picked up on the past of both of these guys. I have heard that the Attorney General’s office is investigating the whole “residence” story of both of these guys. Now let’s get the spouse abuse topic out there as well.
mostly blue says
@gene– You are free to look up “what exactly Mr. Helton has done”. I can tell you that Ms. James has done nothing but grandstand, bicker, opined differing views than those from the mainstream and hasn’t proposed anything of value, and has chosen instead to take credit for transportation funds that she opposed in the first place!! The Republican’t Party and their TEA Party band of vagabonds are for nothing and are about nothing of substance that would ever be approve in our state.
Burbey Bunch says
Perhaps you need to check party affiliation – then notice what party runs this state like a rented mule. It is obvious that all those folks needing remedial work for higher eduction stay here and vote like the little incompetent commies that they are (note the education testing thread).
You have to love the ‘Tea’ this and ‘Tea’ that like it means something, ignoring the party in power that votes wasting millions on a website and votes allowing men in women’s restrooms.
Otto Schmidlap says
To Friends of Helton:
You’ve got the hyphen in M-DJ’s name in the wrong place.
none says
Art Helton is a big cry baby. He lives in District 35 and knows he doesn’t stand a chance there, so he fakes his address so he can run where people don’t know him.
Cdev says
I thought he was ruled ineligible?
Ohlordpleasegiveusathirdchoiceinthisprimary says
I’m voting for Art Helton over MDJ. Here’s my reasoning:
They’re both mean, mean people – so that’s a tie
They’re both absolutely off their rockers – another tie
They’re both complete strangers to the truth – another tie
I think Art has a soul – advantage Helton
Ike Turner says
Except for that whole beating his wife thing…
Proud Harford Dem says
Ike, Unless you have solid proof, i recommend you not post such an accusation.
GEO says
Art does in fact live in Aberdeen. He moved from his Darlington home. That’s a fact. But while we are on who lives where, how about checking out Mary-Dulany James. She calls Have de Grace home, but she spends most of her time at a certain house in Baltimore. Hmmmm!
Vietnam vet says
Mr Helton has a little jingle in his pocket, He has spread it around buying trash property’s in Aberdeen. which is fine by me. & hopefully he will continue buying trash property’s. he has worked hard for his money.
Arturro Nasney says
Mom used to say “fools names and fools faces oft appear in public places.” Art Helton is no fool! He is shrewd, calculating and vicious. He will lie, cheat, steal and anything else to get it his way. He has no respect for the rule of law and is never thinking of the populace, only himself. Now for his lap puppet Steve Johnson, toss out the dittos.
Vietnam Vet says
I find Steve to be a hard nosed business man. as well as Mr Helton.
Arturro Nasney says
Sorry Vet. Your opin ion is incorrect. You have just not gotten in their way. Every single move or action is for their own benefit. If you get in their way they will do whatever it takes to mess you up. All the surface crap is strictly for show.
Both of them have had problems with wife beating in the past.
Proud Harford Dem says
Arturro, Do you have solid proof of these accusations or are you just throwing something at the wall and hoping it sticks?
Arturro Nasney says
Dear democrat apologist. How solid do you want the proof. Ask Steve’s first wife or mother-in-law about his beating his wife so badly that she was hospitalized. Check the Aegis archives for Art’s fun with his former wife. They are both wife beaters. They both have lied to me to my face. They both cost the City a lot of money through their nefarious actions. Beat your wife once, you are a wife beater. Lie to me once, you are a liar. Steal or misappropriate tax payer goods and services and you are a thief.
Nosy Neighbor says
“solid” proof is not typically “he said, she said.” In terms of the accusations of criminal conduct (assault) – a charging document would be nice proof of an incident, not necessarily of guilt. “Costing the City a lot of money through their nefarious actions.” – anything more than a vague statement would be better proof than what you are currently offering… Because you are being so vague, people will be inclined to believe you do not have any proof/evidence to support wrongdoing.
Arturro Nasney says
I do have rock solid proof for all of the above. You could too if you would get off your rusty dusty and go do some research. I absolutely love the progressive/marxist approach of simply saying “do you have proof?” As stated both of them have beaten their wives, lied and stolen.
Vietnam Vet says
No charges listed on the Judiciary Blog. For Mr Helton Or Steve Johnson. Steve was working as and Auxiliary police officer for Aberdeen.
