SALISBURY -- Mike Calpino, a Nanticoke resident who says government needs a philosophical makeover, will run against Stevie Prettyman for her Wicomico County Council seat.
"We need to change the way we do government. Trying to be all things for all people is too expensive," Calpino says.
The 42-year-old has filed with the Maryland State Board of Elections as a Libertarian candidate. Calpino said the county government has grown too large under the executive form of leadership and supports keeping the revenue cap in place, switching to elected school boards and holding evening council meetings.
"If we were still spending what we were in 2006, we wouldn't be in this position," Calpino said of Wicomico's spending habits.
