Twelve candidates? That could happen in the Ocean Pines board election this year, according to sources familiar with the candidate vetting process.
That many candidates vying for just three seats should give property owners the opportunity to do what’s best for the community, assuming that no axe grinding or personal agendas get in the way.
Voters should consider not just who wants to do a good job, but who is capable of doing it, has the right temperament and who has the ability to consider points of view that may conflict with his or her own.
