Michael S. McDermott

LIBERTARIAN

McDermott, 66, is running on the Libertarian line. He is seeking his first two-year term on the county Legislature.

ISSUES:

• McDermott said a top issue concerns special interest groups that donate money to legislators and who are literally �buying� their votes.
• Another issue, he said, is that legislators hold meetings at times when the public cannot show up.
• McDermott also said he is concerned about the number of homes being taken away from people that have lived there their whole lives.
