How is that possible? Hogan said no events with over 250 people
ReplyDeleteCoronas will be served !!! LOL
ReplyDelete6:34 I think this was announced prior to Hogan’s press conference.
ReplyDeletelooks like Wicomico county doesn't give damn about the public; just collect the money so the county can waste it. Hogan has done the correct call
ReplyDeleteSo, our CONSTITUTION says we have the right to assembly and it doesn't put any limits on the number of people who can assemble or why they assemble.
ReplyDeleteWith the flick of a pen, he erases that right.
This is a test.
I told you before, the Bill of Rights is dead. Usurped by politicians.
Now, we need to do to them what Jefferson said we would eventually HAVE to do.
Can't lose a dollar to hell with killing people.
ReplyDeleteDumb Ass County Officials ---- Thought so before, but this just proves it
ReplyDeleteThey have to make every nickel they can or we the taxpayers will have to subsidize them.
ReplyDeleteNo crowds larger than 250 allowed? No problem, it’s the Civic Center. They haven’t had a crowd that size in years!
ReplyDeleteThe date on that release statement was before Governor Hogan’s announcement. In fact, they cancelled the second showing of the circus last night to be in accordance with the state. Community Yard Sale this weekend has been canceled along with the Suitcase Party.
