From Krist Boardman: Give the beleaguered president some credit. He is right to be unhappy and to be questioning the course of the United States’ involvement in Afghanistan. That is his job anyway: to be setting the direction of the country on foreign policy. If I were president, I would be unhappy too that we’ve […]
Boardman: “For All of Our Imperfections America Remains a Great Country”
From Krist Boardman: Mid-July is a memorable season with recent parades, fireworks, hotdog-eating contests, picnics, all part of an underlying appreciation of what a great and unique country we live in and what a great experience it is to be living in these times. The Declaration of Independence containing the elegant and nearly timeless prose […]
Boardman: “I Hope More Democrats Will Support the Hogan-Szeliga Measure and Make Fair Elections a Reality in Maryland”
From Krist Boardman: Surprise! I am supporting Delegate Kathy Szeliga and Governor Larry Hogan in their legislative effort to form a non-partisan commission to address the gerrymandering mess that is in Maryland politics. This comes from a Democrat (me) who is a member of the Harford County Democratic Central Committee (I am not speaking for […]
Boardman: “Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler Won’t Back Pay Increases for Deputies Unless He Gets a Whopping Pay Increase for Himself”
From Krist Boardman: Now we have it in black and white: Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler won’t back pay increases for deputies unless he gets a whopping pay increase for himself of 20 percent amounting to $23,688 more per year starting in 2019, if he is re-elected.

Boardman: “Helton Continues to Remain a Controversial Figure in Harford County Politics”
From Krist Boardman: Despite advancing age (nearly 80) and a string of election losses that would make even William Jennings Bryan envious (he lost three presidential elections), Harford County’s ex-State Senator Arthur H. Helton, Jr. is gearing up for another encounter with Harford voters in 2018. Just recently he and sidekick George Harrison announced their […]
Boardman: Red Line May Have Better Chances Under a Trump Administration
From Krist Boardman: Thursday night going from I-70 to the Baltimore Beltway 695 I was presented with the dilemma of driving the northbound route toward Towson and eventually into Harford County, or the southeast route around the beltway, going through the Key Tunnel and northbound on I-95. Taking the southeast route because the Towson route […]
Sheriff Gahler: “I Have Never Seen One Piece of Compelling Information that Would Cause Me to Believe Gun Buyback Programs Do Anything to Promote Public Safety”
From Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler: In a writing shared by the DaggerPress yesterday, Mr. Chris Boardman made the effort to publicly challenge me, as Harford County’s chief law enforcement officer, to conduct a gun buyback that will “probably” reduce “gun violence” (DaggerPress – Boardman: “If Sheriff Gahler Wants to Do Something that Will […]
Boardman: “If Sheriff Gahler Wants to Do Something that Will Probably Help Reduce Gun Violence, He Should Sponsor some Countywide Gun Buy-Backs”
From Christopher Boardman: CRIME CONTROL MEASURES Recently Sen. Robert Cassilly (Dist. 34) advertised some bills he introduced to help curb crime in Maryland. Below are my comments. S.B. 159 would increase the penalty for second degree murder from 30 to 40 years in prison. In my opinion this is not necessary because 30 years is […]
