About Me
- Neil Ridgely
- What, you were expecting Brooks Emmory? Sorry, wrong blog for that guy, try Chaoscomestocarroll.com. I'm the guy who used to work for Carroll County Government in at least 5 different positions over 13 collective years, finally leaving their employ as the Sustainability guy just as the unsustainable crew of commissioners were coming into office in December of 2010. Now I am currently on sabbatical doing a research project on the deconstruction of local government and the casual placement of personal finances upon slow race horses. I believe in sustainability as a simple life ethic, not unlike what smart farmers have done for centuries but called stewardship. I also believe in community character as opposed to community ugly and I had a bit of a hand in putting some things in place at the County to put better design into where we live; preserve good old things and trees. The Unsustainables will probably undo a lot of that. I maintain another web blog about what is really me, The Finksburgian, so enough about me, lets get on with what may be happing TO our county. May Harvey be with you.
