McKay Behind Appointment of Enterprise Reporter's Father as Chairman of Liquor Board in Trade-off for Favorable News Coverage....
Did the boy wonder St. Mary's Commissioner President Tommy McKay tell Washington Post-owned-Enterprise reporter Jason Babcock that he would get his daddy appointed to the St. Mary's Liquor Board? Then, suddenly last spring, two members of the liquor board were removed by the Governor and replaced, one of them with Allie Babcock, who has an interesting history in his last post with the St. Mary's County government.
The liquor board members receive a modest annual salary.Has Jason acted as Tommy's personal public relations agent ever since? After the last boondoggle that Tommy McKay caused for Governor Bobby Ehrlich over the secret land deals, where land bought for preservation next to a state park was part of a deal to let a developer get land cheap, even at the same price paid by the state, McKay's dealing to get favorable press from the Washington Post owned "Emptyprize" might seem a little unseemly.
But McKay needs the support of the The Washington Post and the Emptyprize and he is willing to use the full resources of the Governor to get it. Those McKays ads still run all the time in the Big Empty even though they didn't endorse him in the last election. Link
