Anne Arundel County Council: Ladd criticized for racial slur, questioned on council diversity - baltimoresun.com: An Anne Arundel county councilman was peppered with questions Saturday about diversity on the all-white, all-male council — and criticized for his public use of a racial slur — before storming out of a community forum in Odenton.
Richard B. "Dick" Ladd, a Broadneck Republican, was the only councilman to attend the discussion on local government, sponsored by a historically black sorority. His appearance came as the council is deadlocked between two candidates — one white and one black — to replace a member who is serving a prison term.
