Almond Recovering From Minor Surgery

Council Chairwoman Vicki Almond did something uncharacteristic Tuesday during  Baltimore County Council's work session.

She missed it.

Almond, a Reisterstown Democrat and the since 1983 years, is typically ever-present during council meetings but yesterday her seat at the head of the table was occupied by Councilman Tom Quirk.

Quirk, a Catonsville Democrat, told the audience at the meeting that Almond "couldn't be here today because she's recovering from a minor surgery."

The nature of the surgery was not immediately known.

Also unknown is whether or not Almond will be present when the council holds it's legislative session on Monday.

In any case, best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to the council chairwoman.
