Executive Neuman Joins Facebook

Patch reported a couple weeks ago that Anne Arundel County Executive Laura Neuman created an official Twitter account, and now she is trying to reach constituents on the dominant social media platform Facebook.

Her page had less than 50 "Likes" by early Thursday afternoon, but if it grows like her Twitter account, there will be hundreds getting updates from her in a matter of days.

Patch also featured a video last month of Neuman sharing how shocked she was to find the county executive's office lacked a computer and Internet connection when she took over.

Although most of her posts have been photos from recent public appearances, she has featured a few pieces of big news including Tuesday's resignation letter from Police Chief Larry Tolliver and her perspective on the County Council's decision to allow stun guns.
