From the Blogosphere: Protesting state budget cuts (and other broad concerns), Hampstead Mayor Haven N. Shoemaker has ordered the Town's municipal flag to be replaced at a ceremony tonight by the historic Gadsden "Don't Tread On Me" flag, the popular symbol of the recent Tea Party movement, writes Joe Albero in his Salisbury News blog. The flag ceremony is to mark state funding to local governments.
Albero quotes Shoemaker saying: "The $3.8 billion in federal [stimulus] money sent to Maryland was wasted on pork barrel projects and social-program spending rather than on rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. Now the state is dumping their failure of fiscal leadership into our laps."
