Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Spiro T. Agnew (1962-1966)
The third County Executive and first Republican to be elected to the office, Agnew had an unusually quick rise in government from his first elected office as County Executive in 1962 to Governor in 1967 to Vice-President in 1969. In Baltimore County he supported but did not achieve reforms in racial integration, gun control, property tax, and urban renewal. However, later as Governor and Vice-President, he was highly critical of civil rights protesters. In 1973, he resigned from the Vice-Presidency amid kickback scandals involving bribery, extortion, and tax evasion during his time in all three offices, dating back to 1963. He pleaded nolo contendere to a charge of tax evasion in federal district court and was later ordered to repay $250,000, the amount of kickbacks plus interest, to the State.
