Delphey Smith clash as Frederick County seeks exemption
A long simmering feud between Frederick County delegation chair Julien P. Delphey and Del. Charles E. Smith erupted in the House of Delegates. Smith prompted a vote to overturn Delphey and three others’ bid to exempt Frederick County from a school contract disputes bill. The measure would let a non monetary or tenure issue arbitrator’s recommendation become final after an eight day impasse. The House voted 53 29 to remove the county exemption, while sixteen other jurisdictions remain exempt. Delphey said he tried to reach Smith on the floor. Smith said Delphey acted without contacting him and defended his voting record from last night.
