Hecht fumes over taping by Mooney camp
Del. Sue Hecht, D-Frederick/Washington, got upset at a candidates forum last week when she was being videotaped without permission by a representative of her opponent's campaign.
But Sen. Alex X. Mooney, R-Frederick/Washington, said there was nothing wrong with the action and noted that the event was also being recorded for broadcast on Antietam Cable television.
"We're public officials, so it goes with the territory," he said.
Mooney said he likes to keep a record of speeches because, "It's not unheard of for a politician to say one thing to one audience and another thing to another audience."
Antietam Cable will rebroadcast the forum, which was organized by the Hagerstown-Washington County Chamber of Commerce, on Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. and on Nov. 4 at 7 p.m.

The Frederick County (Md.) Board of Elections is suffering a shortage of election judges for the Nov. 5 election.
The board is seeking 25 people to serve, said Deputy Director Noreen L. Schultz.
