Hagerstown city councilwoman Kelly Cromer on the the Herald-Mail online forum:
The Mayor doesn’t care one bit if we look bad, as a matter of fact he tries very hard and goes out of his way to try to make some of us look bad. He only cares about himself. He is a liar and a phony. His day is coming, I have an ace up my sleeve that will be life shattering for him.
Cromer is referring to Hagerstown’s mayor the honorable Robert E. Bruchey. Either they are playing a lot of poker or she doesn’t like him.
Not that there is anything particularly wrong with a city councilwoman not liking a mayor, especially if one is a Democrat and the other is a Republican. Sometimes I think government works better if everyone involved hates each other’s guts.
It’s not like this is unprecedented. In 2006, Hagerstown Mayor Richard Trump resigned after only nine months in office. It was reported that he quit because of his inability to get along with the city council. Bruchey — who already had one term as mayor under his belt — stepped in to fill Trump’s position of mayor.
I have no idea if Cromer’s criticism of Bruchey has any validity to it or not, but I do appreciate her candor. She is an elected official that says exactly what she thinks. And considering the fact that she is a criminal defense lawyer, I think she knows a thing or two about the legality nuances of libel and slander. If she says that Bruchey is a phony and a liar, I have to believe she has some kind of credible evidence to back it up.
We all know that people don’t say stuff on Internet message boards unless it’s true.

Kelly Cromer is just mad that she didn’t get her way and get away with it!! Kelly Cromer should have been told to apologize immediately to the police department and all other city employees because of her misguided story about their take home vehicles, written a check to a local organization for the ticket she should have received, and kept her big mouth shut. I overheard she threw a fit at the following council meeting at Mayor Bruchey and used an inappropriate mix of vocabulary since he choose not to choose either side. We actually trust this women to make decisions for our city, are we out of our minds?? In my own opinion, mayor Bruchey is a good thing that has happened to our city, he has brought a chance for us to grow.. in education, employment, and social status. If Mrs. Cromer wants to complain, its time to get rid of her!! Oh wait.. get her a few drinks, and she will show her true feelings for Mayor Bruchey, like at city events. I can’t believe people actually pay her to be their legal council, holy hell.. NOT ME!! If I wanted to learn how to run my fingers through my hair and look as confused and bored as ever, I would watch the city council meetings. She contributes absolutely nothing to this city other than grief, I surely hope she is gone next election. All hail Mayor Bruchey!!
