I suspect it is fair to say that organizer of the petition drives leading to anti-immigrant Question 4 and anti-gay Question 6, Del. Neil Parrott, was absolutely de-feathered ("A referendum on referendums?" Nov. 13). Mark Goldberg and Christopher Smith, Baltimore

Tea Party leader Del. Neil Parrott offered fresh details about the boating collision that put six people in the hospital and is threatening to end the political career of Del. Don Dwyer, who was drunkenly at the helm. Parrott said that Dwyer's boat was "struck" by another other vessel. "Don assured me that he did everything he could do to avoid the collision," Parrott wrote in an email to his colleagues in the General Assembly. "Don indicated that he had been drinking, however, at this point it is unclear whether he alcohol had anything to do with the accident," Parrott wrote.

Joanne Parrott, the Republican candidate for Harford County Council president, charged last week in letters to local ministers that Theresa Pierno, her Democratic opponent, wants to distribute condoms in public schools.Mrs. Pierno sharply countered the letters by accusing Mrs. Parrott of "pulling totally irrelevant issues out of the air in a desperate attempt to get votes" as Election Day nears.The condom issue arose during a debate before students at Fallston High School when the two were asked their opinions on whether condoms should be available at public high schools.

Joanne S. Parrott, the first woman president of the Harford County Council and a Maryland state delegate from 1998 to 2006, was found dead at her Fallston home Wednesday. She was 68, and the cause of death was unknown, according to a statement yesterday from the county executive's office. County Executive David R. Craig ordered Harford County flags flown at half-staff in her honor. She was "a hard-working legislator who understood the needs of the many rural constituents in her district," said state Sen. Barry Glassman.

Zoe M. Parrott, a former longtime Dickeyville resident and World War II veteran, died of pneumonia Monday at the Charlestown Retirement Community. She was 96. Zoe McFadden was born and raised in Roanoke, Ind. She attended Butler University in Indianapolis, and earned a law degree from George Washington University Law School in 1940. In 1942, she enlisted in the Navy WAVES - Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service - and served in Washington as a member of the Judge Advocate Corps.

Joanne S. Parrott and Theresa M. Pierno, the two Harford County councilwomen running for the County Council presidency, spent much of their first and perhaps only debate arguing over whether they are alike or different.In their first head-to-head meeting Thursday, moderated by the League of Women Voters at John Carroll School and taped for cable television viewers, each cited her citizen-friendly voting and claimed to be the candidate for what has become the battle cry of the 1994 campaign -- "managed growth."

Harford County Council President Joanne S. Parrott sometimes ruffles more than a few feathers by speaking her mind.Case in point: her response to County Executive Eileen M. Rehrmann's recent State of the County address, laced with criticism that left Rehrmann fuming and some council members shifting uncomfortably in their seats."

Is County Executive Eileen M. Rehrmann's ongoing shuffle at the Department of Public Works in violation of the Harford County charter?Councilwoman Joanne S. Parrott, a Republican from District B, thinksso.But Rehrmann and Larry Klimovitz, director of administration, disagree with Parrott's interpretation of the charter.Parrott brought up the issue at a County Council meeting Tuesday, stating her concern that two deputy director positions had been abolished and other departmental changes were being made without the council's knowledge.

By any standard measure, Neil Parrott's place in Maryland politics ought to be toward the very bottom. He's a freshman Republican delegate in a very blue state, without pedigree or government connections. Yet through dogged organizing and clever use of technology, this tea party leader from Hagerstown has turned a little-used provision of the Maryland Constitution into a tool capable of overturning chunks of the ruling Democrats' legislative agenda. Parrott, a University of Maryland-trained traffic engineer, developed a website that makes it much easier to collect the 56,000 valid signatures needed to petition a law to referendum in Maryland.

The Western Maryland Republican leading the effort to repeal the state's new Congressional map says he believes the signatures they collected will withstand Board of Elections. "This was a very thorough validation process," said Del. Neil Parrott, R-Washington, speaking at an Annapolis news conference. To make his point, the delegate held up a passel of signed petitions that he opted not to submit due to errors. Parrott and other Republicans have so far turned in 65,722 signatures in two batches - about 10,000 more than needed to put the question to voters on the November ballot.

Robert W. "Bob" Parrott, a World War II Navy veteran who later worked as an engineer and estimator, died of cancer Dec. 27 at Gilchrist Hospice Care. The longtime Ednor Gardens resident was 92. Mr. Parrott, the son of a structural engineer and a homemaker, was born in Baltimore and raised in Hamilton. He was a 1936 graduate of Polytechnic Institute and studied engineering and aircraft design at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland, College Park. During the late 1930s and early '40s, he worked with his father at Dietrich Brothers, a steel fabricator, and then joined the old Glenn L. Martin Co. plant in Middle River.

Harford County Council President-elect Joanne S. Parrott campaigned on the promise that she would bring unity to a council that was fractured and in need of more self-respect.Even after her election, she continued to place council demeanor among her top priorities."One of the differences you'll find in my presidency is that there will be a true cohesiveness in the council," she said in a recent interview.When she takes office tomorrow, she will be leading six others in the first all-Republican council in Harford's charter government history.
