Frederick County, MD Sheriff Chuck Jenkins on "All Things Political with George Wenschhof"

George Wenschhof

Originally Published on 6-29-2010

My interview with Sheriff Jenkins (R) flew by and before we knew it, time was up. We talked a little about his background and how he came to get involved in law enforcement. He spoke of some of his accomplishments in office and I brought up some of the more controversial issues that took place in his first term in office.

You could see his passion in enforcing the law and particularly in regard to illegal immigration.

He currently is not facing any primary challenge within the Republican Party and only one other candidate to date has indicated his intent to file. That is Karl Bickel who must receive approximately 1343 signatures by August 2 to appear on the November 2 General Election ballot as a "Unaffiliated" candidate.

Candidates have until July 6 to file for office.

I welcome your comments. You can enter them by clicking on "Comment" below or by emailing me at georgewenschhof@gmail.com

Also, email me if you would like to schedule an appearance on the show, place an advertisement, or send a donation.

Questions Surround Ehrlich Pick of Kane as Running Mate

George Wenschhof

Yesterday, in a much ballyhooed Facebook announcement, named Mary Kane as his Lt. Governor running mate. Former Republican Governor Robert Ehrlich is running against Democratic Governor Martin O'Malley to try to reclaim his office. The Baltimore Sun has more here.

Ehrlich's "friendlier to business" theme took on a new meaning with the selection of Kane whose family run business is currently being sued for fraudulent billing on government contracts.

The Kane Co. is being sued for double billing labor and fuel costs on government contracts, failing to pay fair wages and inflating prices.

Upon hearing the news of the selection, Susan Turnbull; chair of the Maryland Democratic Party issued this statement:

"Bob Ehrlich has some pretty serious questions to answer about his vetting process for this position since Mary Kane and her husband's company has been under investigation since 2008 when the Bush Department of Justice joined a Federal False Claims Act lawsuit against The Kane Company for defrauding federal taxpayers."

This announcement comes after Ehrlich said he wanted to pay Department of Economic and Business Development (DBED) employees bonuses for bringing businesses to Maryland. A dangerous practice that could lead to less than favorable state offered incentives to businesses to locate here in order for the employee to earn a bonus.

Mary Kane first served (2003-2006) under the Ehrlich administration as Deputy Secretary of State and chief legal counsel before becoming Secretary of State in August 2005.

Upcoming Guests on "Air-it-Out with George Wenschhof"

George Wenschhof

As a result of the very positive feedback regarding the Democratic candidate interviews preceding the City of Frederick, Maryland primary election, I will be reaching out and conducting additional live online discussions.

I am finalizing dates and times with Katherine Heerbrandt, Chief Kim Dine, and Beth Willis and will publish when we have confirmed. I also want to receive some questions from you to include during the conversation with each guest.

Ms. Heerbrandt is a columnist with the Frederick News Post and also hosts "Frederick's Forum" on WFMD Radio 930 on Saturday morning from 9:00 - 11:00 AM.

Kim Dine has been the Chief of Police for The City of Frederick over the last seven to eight years. We will find out exactly how long when he is on and I ask him. He was hired by Mayor Jennifer Dougherty (D) during the early part of her term in office from 2001-2005.

Beth Willis may not be as well known as the first two upcoming guests but I have known her since we worked together in Frederick County Government back in the late 1970's. She has been leading the important discussion on the health and safety issues surrounding the bio-lab expansion planned at Fort Detrick.

I am looking forward to having them live online and will inform you as the dates become firm.
