For the record to all of you, this story is fair, relevant, in the best interest of the public to know and be aware of, and absolutely timely. This is not a privacy issue whatsoever, he was a public official when this call "went down", so I am sorry to the "Hanley peanut gallery", but this is all fair game. Had he practiced sensible and pratical business ethics that his father should have taught …   more ›

Year in Review: Ex-Commissioner in Court in October

Bel Air Patch looks back at the biggest stories of the year.

  As 2011 nears an end, Patch takes a look at some of the stories that impacted our lives. What were the biggest events for you? How did they affect you and your community? Tell us in the comments. In September, Patch broke the story of theft charges against then-Bel Air Town Commissioner Terence Hanley. He has since been sentenced to serve probation after submitting an Alford Plea. If he completes probation successfully, he could petition the court to have the charge removed from his record. At the same time, Hanley was involved in a dispute with Aberdeen-based Harford Bank after he was accused of defaulting on loans for four consecutive months from November 2010 to February 2011. The dispute with the bank is ongoing. The message a young …

Election Outcome Unchanged After Final Vote Count

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:

Thanks to all the Bel Air residents who voted, even to the 207 who voted for Mr. Hanley. Guess they must be the dumb average humans Terry was talking about a few months earlier. But this is one Average Human who wasn't in the 207 total   more ›

Official Election Results To Be Announced Thursday

While the unofficial results from the Bel Air election were announced Tuesday night, the official results will come today.

With just five absentee and eight provisional ballots left to be counted, the final vote tally for town Board of Commissioners will not stray far from Tuesday's unofficial results. The remaining votes will be counted at 10 a.m. Thursday in Bel Air Town Hall. The unofficial results were read aloud to a room filled with candidates and their supporters Tuesday night. Unofficially, Robert Reier received 463 votes followed by Edward Hopkins (422), Susan Burdette (368), Greg Adolph (312) and Terence Hanley (206). Three seats were up for grabs on the five-seat board in the non-partisan election. Stick with Patch for final vote counts and election wrap-up.

Candidates React Following Unofficial Election Results

Edward Hopkins and Susan Burdette express their thoughts following the announcement Tuesday that they are among the three unofficial winners of the Bel Air Town Election.

Edward Hopkins and Robert Reier will return to the board of commissioners while newcomer Susan Burdette will replace Terence Hanley. Hanley received the least votes Tuesday; Reier received the most. "I'm very humbled, very honored," Reier said following the announcement.

Embattled Hanley Places Last in Election

The two-term Republican commissioner finished fifth in his attempt to win one of the three open seats on the Board of Commissioners.

Terence Hanley, the Bel Air commissioner facing two high-profile legal issues that emerged in recent weeks, was defeated in Tuesday's election. The two-term Republican commissioner who lost his bid for another four-year term was dogged throughout the campaign by revelations of a theft charge in Cecil County and an allegation of defaulting on a Harford Bank loan of $600,000. He will be replaced by first-time candidate Susan Burdette, who appears to have won one of the three open seats on the five-member Board of Commissioners.  "I feel thrilled and I cannot wait to start working with this board," Burdette said following the announcement of preliminary results Tuesday night.  Incumbent Commissioners Robert Reier and Edward Hopkins won back …

Residents Offer Their Thoughts on Election Day

Several Bel Air residents weighed in Tuesday on major issues that drove their votes.

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…
