I knew we were right up there at the top.
Imagine how much higher the median would be if they dropped the lower shore?
Lol is the Bury the top county or dead LAST.?
Ya think all the government workers, living in DC suburbs of Maryland contribute to this factor? Now what has Maryland done with all those "riches"? It does looks like our new Gov Hogan (R) and our Comp. Franchot (D) working together are on the right track to curb wasteful spending
how great is it to be #1 in the MOST bankrupt country in the history of the world?
And #1 for trying to take your wealth also.
i don't believe it!
