Casper Taylor


"Cas" served as a delegate to the Maryland House for many years, reaching the position of Speaker of the House of Delegates, and he presided there from 1994 to 2002. He served his constituents well, reflected in the Rocky Gap Lodge and Golf Resort, and the Music Festival held there for many years; it brought some of the biggest names in country music to our area during its run. He was known for keeping a keen eye on the health of the entire state, especially economically depressed areas such as Western Maryland, Baltimore City and the Eastern Shore. He was also instrumental in the construction of the new Riverside YMCA on property formerly owned by the Kelly-Springfield Tire Company.
"Cas" is a graduate of LaSalle Institute, and of Notre Dame University. Since his departure from the political scene, he has become a lobbyist, using his influence in representing companies and causes in Annapolis.
