A few days after the Harford County Board of Education presented its reasons for halting plans to build Red Pump Elementary School and moving forward with Campus Hills to ease school overcrowding; the Harford County Council released the results of its own investigation at a meeting with PTA leaders in the Council chambers on Thursday.
By the end of the 2 ½ hour presentation, both Council President Billy Boniface and Vice President Dick Slutzky had presented a detailed discussion of the merits of building Red Pump over Campus Hills and also aimed the spotlight squarely on County Executive David Craig as a key figure in the controversy.

It’s ironic, the way Harford County Board of Education President Tom Fidler chose to issue a lecture about the limits on the official authority of the County Council-created Board of Education Nominating Committee on unofficial stationery.
For such a ponderous pronouncement, supposedly agreed upon by the entirety of the Board of Education, you would think Fidler would have used the actual Board of Education seal and letterhead. You know, just to drive home how official the position is. Instead, it looks like he whipped up a cut and paste job at home on Microsoft Word before dashing it off to the Harford County Council.
