Maryland Approves Recreational Projects Across The State

Anne Arundel, Frederick, Kent and Washington counties will soon receive funding for recreational enhancements through Program Open Space. Governor Martin O’Malley and the Board of Public Works approved the projects at today’s meeting.

“As a State, it is our responsibility to ensure that children of all ages and abilities have safe places to play, learn and grow,” said Governor O’Malley. “Thanks to Program Open Space, Maryland has been able to create recreational areas within 15 minutes of every Maryland family, areas where we can connect with one another, and enjoy the simple pleasures of our natural world.”

Anne Arundel County will receive $1.2 million to replace the existing natural turf fields at Garcelon area of Kinder Farm Park with synthetic turf. The new surface will be much easier to maintain and can be used in all types of weather without damage.

Frederick County will receive $32,090 to purchase and install tables, benches and trash receptacles at 100 Acres Wood Park.

Kent County will receive $44,000 to improve the Millington Pool facility. Work includes plastering the swimming pool shell, rehabilitating the bathhouse facility and modifying doorways to comply with the the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The county will also receive $13,500 for the Bayside Pool Facility to plaster its pool shell and replace piping.

And you wonder why Md. is in such bad financial shape. More liberal feel good b***sh**. Why doesn't owemalley try spending less,cutting taxes, and encouraging business? That's how you grow an economy stupid.

The State of Maryland can not continue to fund Open Space. This is a Democrat project that buys up precious land and you can never build on it again.

The Democrats want you to live within the Metrocore and that is the ghettos of Salisbury. This is a fact and if you don't believe me look it up yourself.

Because 10:46 MD is democratically controlled and if you are a democrat you are low IQ, so anything economy related escapes them. Now ask them who the O's or Raven's are playing or who Kim Kardashsian is sleeping with and they can answer without hesitation.

This is exactly what Josh Hastings supports. Wasting tax dollars on Open Space.
