Bel Air mayor at odds with commission

The Bel Air Town Commission recently approved a $5 million renovation of its town hall and policestation, despite Mayor Terence Hanley?s concerns about future tax increases.

Commissioners voted 4-1 to renovate the building constructed in 1964, citing a 1,500-page study by an independent engineering firm that found several issues, mostly with the police station, which does not have separate holding areas for juvenile and adult offenders, Commissioner David Carey said.
