The Council member from District 4 said he will not seek a new job in politics once his term is up in 2014, but did not rule out a future campaign.
Anne Arundel County Council member Jamie Benoit (D-District 4) said he will not run for county executive in 2014, but did not rule out a bid for political office further into the future. In a letter to supporters and the media, Benoit said he would return to being a private citizen once his Council term is up in 2014. He had long been named as a possible candidate for county executive and acknowledged interest in the position. But he said it was time to take a break from "juggling" his responsibilities of government, business and family. "Serving in office with all the other things going on in my life has been a true juggling act," he said. "While I would very much like to continue juggling, I have concluded that something has to give. …

After a failed attempt to override County Executive Leopold's line-item veto of three amendments to the recently-passed binding arbitration bill, union leaders say a court battle is now imminent.
On a night when comprehensive rezoning legislation was the County Council's primary agenda item, the council quietly failed to override County Executive John R. Leopold's line item veto of three amendments to the binding arbitration bill passed two weeks ago. At the council's March 7 meeting, Councilman Jerry Walker (R-7th District) of Gambrills, introduced a series of amendments aimed at bringing the three reluctant Democrats on board with Bill 4-11, which significantly alters the contract negotiation process between public sector employees and the county. The amendments helped secure a bipartisan vote of 7-0. However, just two days later, County Executive Leopold announced that he would strike the amendments using his line-item veto …

As we sit and wonder whether or not it will snow in Crofton this week, how about taking a look back at a few of the stories that you may have missed around town last week.
