Balto. Co.: Bailey-Shellenberger rematch brewing for state's attorney
In Baltimore County, the state's attorney's race will likely be a rematch of 2006. Republican Stephen Bailey filed Tuesday to run against incumbent Scott Shellenberger, a Democrat who has held the job since 2006.
That race pitted Bailey, a deputy state’s attorney, who was the hand-picked successor to longtime State’s Attorney Sandra A. O’Connor, against one of her former prosecutors. Shellenberger ran with the support of the County Executive James T. Smith Jr.
Bailey, 47, promised a spirited rematch with a strong focus on fiscal issues. The Towson attorney said he would slash the state’s attorney salary from $214,000 to $140,000, opt out of the county’s pension plan for elected officials and limit campaign contributions from fellow attorneys to $250.

Mr. Shellenberger has my families support. He is a class act.

Scott Shellenberger is doing a great job. Unlike his City counterpart, he has earned his keep.

A class act that is bought and paid for by the democrat party

Steve Bailey has my vote for SA. He's done an excellent job for Balto. Co. in the past and will continue to do so as SA.

Shellenberger a class act . . don't think so. He refuses to file felony charges of bigamy against the person who married my daughter. He has not helped the victim one iota even though overwhelming evidence was handed to him, and this would be an open and shut case. What if this happened to your child? Would you be silent?
