Gregory Adolph sends his appreciation to the Bel Air community and expresses support of the newly elected town officials. Here is the letter unedited and printed in full: To The Editor: I wanted to take an opportunity to provide some comments in summary of the recent Town of Bel Air election.

The final votes were tallied this morning in Bel Air Town Hall, but the outcome remains the same with Edward Hopkins, Robert Reier and Susan Burdette to serve on the Bel Air Board of Commissioners.
Election judges gathered in Bel Air Town Hall once again Thursday morning, this time to count provisional and absentee ballots. All eight abstentee ballots were approved while all five provisional ballots were rejected. The provisional ballots were rejected based on residency and voter registration issues. Four absentee votes went to Greg Adolph, one to Susan Burdette, one to Terence Hanley, six to Edward Hopkins and five to Robert Reier. One vote was for a write-in candidate. The numbers did not change the election results. Hopkins and Reier will serve another term on the board and Burdette will replace Hanley. The final count is as follows:

While one Bel Air resident gave her thoughts on camera, several others told Patch what this Bel Air municipal election is about for them. Edwin Weaver, a 60-year resident of Bel Air, thinks the major issue of this election is the purchase of the old BB&T Bank building on Main Street. He said the purchase was one he is "OK" with. For Angelo Monico, the candidates' perspective on property taxes was the issue driving his vote. Monico, who has lived in town for two decades, said Terence Hanley and Greg Adolph addressed those issues to his satisfaction. Joe Rehrmann, a 46-year resident of Bel Air, said he always votes in the town election and for him, it's about town management and who can do that job best. "I think traffic is the biggest issue…
