They just don't get it in Annapolis. They think the answer us to always raise taxes and never consider cutting spending. I don.t remember who said it, but someone once said you deserve the government you get. So as long as we keep sending the same people back to Annapolis we get the government we deserve. Unfortunately we live on the shore and have no real voice in Annapolis, but we send people like Cane, Conway and Mathias and they will all sell us out. They are our Judas and cheaper than 30 pieces of silver. They only wanr little perks like a chairmanship or committe assignment.

They have no shame and apparently, not that much intelligence, since they seem unable to add or subtract, unless your talking about adding more taxes, fines, fees, and surcharges onto the citizens, which will subtract from their ability to provide for their families. But the reality is that they are only STARTING to gouge us....
my idea to fix the budget
