Flaherty presser tomorrow

Mark Patrick Flaherty is holding his official announcement for his county executive run tomorrow (Wednesday) in the county courthouse courtyard at 10 a.m.

NOTE: The courtyard, known as "Katie's Park," is named after Flaherty's mother. When his father Jim Flaherty was a county commissioner, Mrs. Flaherty championed the renovation of the courtyard, which for years had been used to park cars.
