Mr. Smith, an architect from
Mr. Smith was also Governor Ehrlich’s appointment as a board member on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
I supported MD Governor Robert L. Ehrlich’s firing of Robert J. Smith, June 15th, 2006, for his impertinent remarks.
Between my post on this blog, on June 18th, 2006 [“20060618 KDDC Mary Cheney Robert Smith and DC Metro Trains”] and my June 21st, 2006 Tentacle column, [“Mr. Smith: Back to Gaithersburg”]; I have received feedback, for the most part, that I am wrong for backing the governor.
I respect other points of view, and many folks have made good, thoughtful and articulate arguments that I am wrong; however, I stand by my assessment of the matter.
Nevertheless, if you would like to read another, well informed point of view that also disagrees with me, be sure to read Gazette columnist, Blair Lee’s piece published June 23rd, 2006: “Culture wars come to Metro.”
