"In Maryland, media attention prompted policymakers in both parties to realize that a mass exodus of taxpayers harms the state and especially Baltimore, a case study in tax flight among major cities in the mid-Atlantic. While the most recent decline is less pronounced, the damage has already been done in high-taxed Maryland. From 2000 to 2010, the state lost $5.5 billion in taxable revenues. Gubernatorial candidate David Craig has announced a plan to reduce and eventually eliminate Maryland’s income tax “to keep families together.” A tenth-generation Marylander, he would prefer to keep his children and grandchildren in the state."

These politicians need to follow this plan, government can't create jobs. Now taxpayers with extra money in their pockets can create way more jobs than government. Too bad Pollitt and Ireton don't see things that way. They can't even balance a budget without state or federal grants, that's where crap like a $1 million fireboat gets lost in the shuffle until it's too late. We need more politicians like Craig.

NO!!
The boat is also for all those people who get hurt while boating on that sewer ditch they call the Wicomico river! Does anyone remember a fire in the last 30+ years on the river front where a fire boat would have been useful? ...didn't think so.
