Rascovar column: The Political Isolation Of Garrett County

There is nowhere in Maryland more isolated and cut off from the rest of the state than Garrett County.

Distance (200 miles uphill from Baltimore) and the Alleghany Mountains present formidable barriers for the hardy souls who inhabit the state’s western-most county.

But its tiny population, not surprisingly, is shrinking. Help from Annapolis has been modest at best.

    the Gerrymandering crook of a Governor took away their representation and paired them in a district with Montgomery County where they have a Transvestite working for them.. disgusting leadership in a State of corruption and lies .. Mexicans have better advocacy in O'Malley's failed State of Maryland

    The article advocates a governor like Schaeffer, who can connect to the rural areas of Maryland? Didn't he call the Eastern Shore an outhouse?
